Seriously considering investing in a torch.

1mm grinder cutting discs will cut through everything.
I used a 1mm bonded resin wheel, and it snapped like a saltine. Next step is a diamond wheel.

That’s what annealing is for.

Listening to a great NF song, it's called Paralyzed, and just c chilling in a recliner.

Now back to finding something to watch while I sew quilts.
One of my Middle Earth stories (in progress) is titled
Queen's Gambit. At the moment, I'm editing and printing the next four pages of my monthly calendar. Gotta make another coffee when I'm finished.

Sitting outside with my second cuppa of the day and enjoying the crisp fall morning.

Lazily sitting around and drinking coffee. I need to head to Best Buy today, but I don't have a lot of energy. They had a better air fryer for $30 more, and since this one hasn't been opened, I'm returning it.

Trying to decide how lazy to be today.
I just emptied the dishwasher, started a pitcher of tea, and mixed up a batch of the corn bread and veggie treat I make for the parrots...it's in the oven now. This may be the extent of what I accomplish today.

In less than an hour, I'm going to go and get gagged by a swab so that I can have foot surgery on Wednesday.
