MEET MY NEW BUDDY...

...victor. until now, i've been limited to bending by hand, hammer, and vise. which is very limited indeed. this process of brawny bending vibrates random things off of my bench and peg board. and while i'm paying attention to the metal in question, i cant watch my bench and peg board to see what falls. which, in turn, increases my stress level. because i now must search for said mysterious clanky piece of something. you get the point. i digress. and yes, burnout phil let me borrow his portable torch whenever i wanted. which actually, i think he was borrowing from someone else to let me borrow. but sometimes phil doesn't answer his phone. sometimes phil is in the woods. sometimes phil is spending much needed alone time with his lady. i digress further. well, those days are over baby. i'm out there jerry, and i'm loving every minute of it!!! thanks mom. you rule beyond measure.
