Back again

I'm still in school, still plugging away. I dropped a class this semester to preserve my GPA- no detailed, long winded complaining. I just thought this guy was taking off points for really weak reasons and he was bragging in emails that the average for his classes is 78%. I'll just say that that would kill my GPA. Plus we had group projects which aren't any fun in real life, but they're downright painful in cyberspace.

The above means that I had some free time over the weekend, so I cleaned up the shop area. It took almost three hours to break down the boxes that had accumulated, sweep up and throw away all of the garbage that built up over the past few months. When I feel like I have some free time, I can head on out and do whatever. I just need to feel like I can put the books down (to be fair, I goofed off nearly all weekend, just to unwind from school stress).
I don't have any immediate plans, though I'd like to start working on reproducing items from Albert Sonn's "Early American Iron Work." On Nov 7 I'll be heading over to a friend's house for what should be a rededication of his shop and he'll show off his home-built hydraulic press. Sounds like good times to me.
