    yes sir, your not kidding. Sunday morning I couldn't get the padlock off the gate at work. Key wouldn't turn in the hole, finally I bent the key, while it was freezing cold and blizzarding out. Had to take my tow chain out and hook it on to the lock, then drive away! Then my tractor wouldn't start. We have 26 tractors, and 18 wouldn't start on monday morning. School was also closed monday due to the cold temp.

      It's cold enough my diesel work van won't start. And it's been plugged in since Friday. LOL Cheap way to get out of going to work ... unfortunately, work is piling up! I feel your pain Jeff.

        I have to apologize to all of you suffering in the cold.

        I was complaining this past weekend because it was too cold and windy to go hiking. It was in the 40s.

          There's only one response to that ...

          Hey if it was in the 40s you'd see Canadians in shorts ...

              If that's not one of the dumbest things I've heard. Although, the building I work in tends to have fire drills in the middle of the summer on the hotest, most humid day of the summer. Idiots.

                That was smart. Eleven degrees would feel pretty good to me right now. We went 60 some hours straight without getting above zero. It's actually a whole 1 degree here right now. A couple mornings ago the windchill was -40. Spring isn't far away now.

                BTW, where did you come up with the degree symbol?

                  Mike, try holding down the Alt key and typing 0186.

                    No, it's Alt+0176 but the numbers MUST be typed on the keypad otherwise it won't work.

                      Personally, I think it's easier just to type the word.

                          I just popped into the barn when I got home for a sec and noticed it's 33 in there. Never saw it get under 39. I had to turn on the heat to the lowest possible setting, which i think is 45. Don't want anything to freeze in there. Wood glue is ok to freeze once only. I don't know about any other products like poly's or paints. Hopefully anyone that works in a small unheated shop has already brought anything that can freeze into the house.

                              I know it is all relative but when it is 14 degrees in Raleigh, NC you know it is cold. BTW I used to live in Plattsburgh, NY A place where every winter we had 7-10 days straight days where the high would stay below zero..... I was much much much younger then and I guess I am getting soft.

                                Yesterday was amazing to see someone ring the bell after beating cancer. When we left we walked to our cars and had our arms around each others shoulders. I told her this was the best party I have ever been to. I found this message on my phone this morning “I am such a blessed woman. I was so excited....

                                I don't remember which one I used but I think it was somewhere around #12 which is .029 diameter. Anything between 12 and 19 will work you would just adjust your slot width. There is a pattern for bending it to shape do you have that?

                                Very Nice cuttings. I think my favorite is the train.

                                Over the years I've found that cutting old wooden plates can be very rewarding. Most of them are very good wood and when you finish your cut out the plate already has a nice finish on it.. I normally buy mine at yard sales or Good Will whenever I can find them....
