Larry, direct quote from Doorlink: "Larry's my new best friend!" And yes, I'm going to get another row of tile laid today on the vertical wall. :doh:

Jeff, it's the story of my life: a day late and more than a dollar short! ;)

The General Counsel's office baked me a cake yesterday: german chocolate! Yum! No toys this year: we're broke! :dunno: Besides, because of previous birthdays (Jointer, Lathe, Festool, etc...) I'm out of major tools to buy... ;)

Happy Birthday!!! Hope you get lots of toys and fun stuff... maybe a really good book about craftsmen and their creativity entitled "The Craftsman" by Richard Sennett! http://www.amazon.com/Craftsman-Prof-Richard-Sennett/dp/0300119097 Forum members who like to read, this is a GREAT book. I highly recommend it. Have a good day, Bill.

Thanks, MJ! That's a very cool book! Anyone who wrtites something called "The Culture of the New Capitalism" has my interest! Cool line from the review: "The template of craftsmanship, he finds, combines a "material consciousness" with a willingness to put in years of practice (a common estimate of the time required to master a craft is ten thousand hours) and a strategic acceptance of ambiguity, rather than an obsessive perfectionism."

I've got a few thousand hours to go before I get there... ;)

Thanks, Rob. I've got a gift card left over from Christmas, maybe I'll head off to Harbor freight and pick up some small thing...

Thanks, Jim. When I blew out the candles, I just wished for one thing: that this time next year, I'll still be able to keep a roof over the boys', and Doorlink's, heads. Everything else we can deal with... ;)

Thanks,

Bill
 
Many happy returns, Sir. :)

I'm feeling oddly nostalgic for some reason. I've "known" (of?) you for quite a while now. My first recollection was (seriously!) back in 2004 when i joined woodworking.com .. you were there, then about a month or two after I joined this place, I saw your posts. We're on the sawdusters list, too. The connections are always interesting to follow :D

I hope your day is every bit as happy as a day can be! :)
