Cookies!

  Obligatory cookie post: Since I have yet to actually post cookies on this blog, I decided it was about time. Recipe here in @cookbook format: PBCC Cookies: Mix 22oz Bisquick/20oz brsug/16oz Skippy/8oz Boiling h2o. Cool slightly; add ~12oz chocchip. Form & bake 9min@350F. Makes lots of cookies, but uses a full jar of Skippy peanut butter, in a size I have often. 

   Blacksmithing note: I've yet to get an answer about the insurance, so I'll probably put that project on hold this summer. I thought it would be pretty cut and dry, aka "you'll get burned, deal with it" and, "we haven't lost anybody yet, so don't be stupid." Apparently insurance companies want a bit more than that, and where my middleman is out to lunch I don't have much choice but to sit and wait. As Stan Lee would say, Excelsior!

Delays, delays

Not a blacksmith's shop, but a cute picture from an old woodworking book. I'm still waiting on the paperwork to get completed for NCC, so the insurance will go through. *Sigh* Luckily I've been delayed by the weather, so that still gets me some time to finish the exhaust. Hopes are still high, but I wish we could just start! Hang in there,

Things we won't be doing


This is an amazing video, but just so you know, we don't have nearly enough coke (or carbs!) to do this kind of thing out at the shop. I'm in the final steps of clearing the insurance, fitting the ducts, and generally cleaning up now, so get ready! I'm looking at about $100 per class, something like 11 to 4 on two Saturdays a month to start. Sound ok?
