Grrrr....one of those days...

So after I spend maybe an hour or more on the lathe making a custom part for John L's doglock, I'm nearing the end of the project and wouldn't you know it - the stupid thing went out of balance and bent! Now I gotta start from scratch.

On a brighter note, we got more than a dozen eggs today, and as of this morning I've lost 24.5 pounds so far on my 18th century diet in just over 9 weeks. That's an average of 2.5 lbs per week, without any real sacrifices on my part. My weight is at it's lowest point for at least the last 15 years.
