It's been a long freaking year. Finally there is light at the end of the tunnel. Doc seemed pretty stoked about how the 3rd surgery went, he did something new and creative(and my idea) and actually grooved the bone deeper to better hold the tendon in place.

I went with a black cast this time.

And my wife helped me put together my first book, !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! It's an 80 page collection of my work, including of few stories from myself and also a few quotes from myself and my favorite authors/philosophers. There's some dirty, dirty, !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! in there as well. We got the first copy last week, and it's killer! Super impressed with the quality....we used Blurb and it's printed and bound in the USA. Just had to make a few tweaks and the first run of 50 will be here soon. These first 50 will be numbered and signed.

Congrats on the book and the arm progress.

I follow Fabrication Life on Facebook to motivate me to learn to [properly] use my Miller MIG welder that's taking up space in my garage (you'd probably beat me with your cast if you saw my last welding project). I might have to take a look at the book to motivate me further.

Fabrication Life is a nice page, they've got a slick blog too. Actually found it when they posted this piece of mine.

Too often they post pictures of two cans being welded together (yes, you're awesome with TIG), but generally have some great-looking stuff.

You got another FB follower.

LOL....hate the can thing. Never done it. It's a parlor trick....everyone welds the ends together, it's not thin at all.
