Key to the city

... If you have one, I can now make you a copy!
I've always wanted a key machine of my own. The other day I said it out loud and my lovely wife responded with "I've got one at work that is broken. You could probably fix it." She brought it home and I assesed the damages...
One cross threaded set screw on motor pulley. Tapped that. $0
One belt missing. $6
Four missing machine screws and washers that hold cover on. $2
One key blank to test it out $2...
$10 invested in a key machine that will pay for itself by cutting five keys = HELLUVA GOOD DEAL!!!

Cooler weather

Dog days of summer are over!

Inside out

It's been one of those weeks again. Since I moved 20 minutes west of downtown it is hard for me to see my friends. I've a few who have actually made the "trek out west" to see me. With a family and a 20 month old, it's hard for me to find time to get out. It's really cool to get a visitor from time to time. I'd like to think motorbike Mike for coming out to the house tonight. He traded me a few good stories for a haircut. I'm still laughing about the dentist. Good luck with your tooth ache. Need anything, just call.

The power of positive

Today was a good day. I had one of the shittiest days yesterday, and really needed a day like today. Thank GOD for shitty days... without them we would have just days.
