A Nun Was Sitting At The Airport, Waiting For Her
Flight To Chicago. She Looked Over In The Corner And Saw One Of
Those Weight Machines That Tells Your Fortune And Thought To Herself,
"i'll Give It A Try And See What It Tells Me."
She Went Over To The Machine, Stepped Up On The
Scale And Put Her Nickel In. Out Came A Card That Read, "you Are A
Nun, You Weigh 128 Lbs, And You Are Going To Chicago."
The Nun Sat Back Down. She Told Herself That The
Machine Probably Gives The Same Card To Everyone. The More She
Thought About It, The More Curious She Got, So She Decided To Try It Again.
She Went Back To The Machine And Again Put Her Nickel In, And Out Came
A Card That Read,"you Are A Nun, You Weigh 128 Lbs, You Are Going To
Chicago And You Are Going To Play A Fiddle."
The Nun Says To Herself, "i Know That Is Wrong, I
Have Never Played A Musical Instrument Even Once In My Life." She
Sat Back Down. From Out Of Nowhere A Cowboy Came Over And Sat Down,
Putting His Fiddle Case In The Seat Between Them. Without Thinking, She
Opened The Cowboy's Case, Took Out The Fiddle, And Started Playing Beautiful
Music. Surprised At What She Had Done, She Looked Over At The Machine,
Thinking, "this Is Incredible, I've Got To Try This Again."
Back To The Machine She Went, Put In Another Nickel, And Another
Card Came Out. It Read, "you Are A Nun, You Weigh 128
Lbs, You Are Going Chicago And You Are Going To Break Wind."
Now She Knows The Machine Is Wrong, As She Thought
To Herself, "i've Never Broken Wind In Public A Single Time In My
Life",
But Getting Down Off The Machine She Slipped, And
As She Was Straining To Keep Herself From Falling To The Floor, She
Broke Wind.
Absolutely Stunned, She Sat Back Down And Looked
At The Machine. She Said To Herself, This Is Truly Remarkable! I
Have Got To Try This Again. "
She Went Back To The Machine, Put In Another
Nickel, And Another Card Came Out. It Read, "you Are A Nun, You
Weigh 128 Lbs, You Have Fiddled And Farted Around And Missed Your Flight
To Chicago."

Reply to Miniature Birdhouse Ornamentsby RolfI also enjoy making these. I have also used the profiles to turn some on the lathe. I mostly use a 220 Mac mop I have a 180 for the harder woods and then finish with the 220. I do all sanding before assembly.03-22-2023, 07:08 AM

What grit do you use on the mac mop? Do you change grits for the final sanding? Do you mop sand with the bird attached?
Inquiring minds want to know.
