I’ve been so damned busy in the last two weeks it’s amazing I accomplish anything at all. And the feeling is one of being peened over. What’s that, you say? Well, it’s this:

See where the rivet is flat on top, and flush or below the surface of the material? it’s been peened down so it’s flush, wiht a special type of hammer and set.

So to the un-mechanical, when I say peened down, this is what I mean. Hammered flat. Like Freddie king sang- “I’m tore down, almost level with the ground”. Only I’m not “tore down”, I’m “Hammered down”

Thatisall

When i was at Ogfest, and at the NOR shoot, one thing that all the men (and some of the women!) had in common was a firm handshake. I hates a flabby handshake on a man. Hell, Harvey, who looks like he’d be lim wristed as hell, has a grip that makes the cables stand out in your forearms.

I have a cousin who believes you can’t trust anyone who won’t have a beer with you. That may well be true- but I’m also distrustful of anyone who won’t shake your hand and look you in the eye.
