I think he's moving his office to Santa Fe Springs, not Spokane.

At least that's how I read it.

The time between knowing of the sale and your offer to stay must have made for a sleepless night or two.
I don't know what I'd do if I had to search for work at this stage.

Finally had some time to put together some more horseshoe stuff. Now I just need to find a home for it.... Let me know what you think.



Horseshoe Trivet, great for any pots/pans, but really comes in handy for keeping dutch ovens off the ground or table after cooking.

That's a whole-lotta' steel on the kitchen counters that's takin' up space that we haven't got.

Utilitarian, yes, but kinda' impractical for our place.

However, there's got to be a market for it somewhere!

Before:


After....


I could hardly tell what it was. David spotted it as a Suburban and I determined it to be a Yukon based on the grille. Before he said Suburban I had no idea.

He collided with a Dodge Durango.



Man I'm bored at work.. haha

Those horseshoes will either be a hit in NYC or have the same demise as the wagon wheel coffee table - it's all about timing.

The truth is:

Though I think they show a lot of creativity of design,

Marge will NEVER want those horseshoes.....

BlueManGroup should have this as a prop.

Is this what a Powerstroke sounds like at 20 below?
