Some people call it Holocaust Remembrance Day.

I prefer to call it Fuck You Hitler Day.

I've never been big on my birthday, maybe I should rename it that too.

This was Mom's. I still have it.

I did NOT buy a Thank You Gary mug.

I did however order three of the stickers.

Exactly everything you just said.

Once January's over and I can get back to the bench, it will push me to be more polished and clean with my work.

I have a couple of pieces of old Spanish shipwreck silver coins I'm itching to set...

Did you happen to get that stone from RockhoundGaryB? :) if so it looks like the one I tried to order and it was already sold out. :) here's the one I settled on instead. Bolo tie set with a Baltic Amber cabachon as the "sun."

Was thinking about adding bronze to my pressure clasp cuffs. I have copper ($15) and silver/gold ($250 now with silver price up) and think a middle option is a good plan.
Office needs will be crazy this year between recovering from <muttered imprecations> manager leaving, and expanding locations.

Because tomorrow for the Christmas Week Nosh-Fest I am bringing in that Bar Mitzvah standard, the classic honey cake.

I'm not doing one candle at a time.

I'm lighting up all the lights for 8 nights. Because I can.

The Rage is like an old friend welcoming me back to my normal Normal.

Firearm work followed my BJJ Seminar, followed by the Culver's Flavor of the Day and a small order of their fries (fried holiday y'know) made a shitty day better.

Sleepy Mars has a blep

Wickenburg , AZ this weekend!

I'll add he isn't pure heeler, I was expecting a splash of coyote, but no he's just seasoned with every other herding dog in North America.

Mars is also almost 12. He probably has some joint wear once again a formerly athletic dog, I joke that this heeler now has the energy level of a "normal" dog.

It was a good market this weekend. Along with copper pressure clasp cuffs custom for clients, I made these three lovely bits of silver work.
Unakite ring, size 9ish, K2 (granite/Azurite from K2 in the Himalayas) pendant, Unakite pendant.

Next weekend I'll be making more stuff in Wickenburg.

Two new pieces made while at the market:

1. K2 Azurite in Granite

2. Unakite in a simple traditional setting. This one sold not long after putting it out.

A nice day at the market today.

Good morning, from a retired 12ish year old heeler.

The feeling of a pre-sunrise morning when a sleeping dog's head rests on a fuzzy wool-sock-clad foot.

Here's what I mean. A torch normally US made, figure at least a hundred bucks used when you can find one used.

Or this sue-aside-al fakery. I'd like to not worry about dangerous gasses doing unpredictable things, thanks.

My bottle of Abasolo is almost empty. Took about a year - I drink whisky in very small amounts and only when I have the focus and space to cherish the flavor.
Lovely textured square bottles.
My last one has an herbal raspberry brandy: Malenas, a family recipe cold cure.
What goes in this one next?

Can't do this kind of thing with AI. Never felt the need to "create" reference images.

I have been so wrapped up with office stuff I forgot how much fun a two day show can be.

People get to watch me make pieces from sheet and wire to finished piece, I love explaining the process.

My eyelids are sunburned, dry air sun and wind have me growing a cold sore on a lip, and I feel happy.

Hardware cleaned and ready. Off to the range, then office time. I have a lot to do at my desk, getting a client's books cleaned up.

Nowadays the books are bits not atoms, which speeds things up, but it's amazing how much faster and wider errors can propagate in an accounting database.
October 18, 2025 at 3:19 PM
Workday today.

Accounting would be fun if it wasn't for the clients.

Still feeling snotty and "off" so instead of BJJ this morning, and since I have first market of Autumn tomorrow, will be going to the Range for practice before work.

Last week's shooting showed my missed two weeks of practice.

Sterling silver and Larimar.

Good morning!

5am BJJ class three mornings a week means four mornings a week I feel like I'm deliciously sleeping in.

Rain coming in the area next three days.

Been having a nice smooth week at the office mostly.

This month we run 3rdQtr filings, be interesting if IRS furloughs affect that.

Finally felt up to hitting the bench. Work changes have meant more work and more responsibility, but I feel like my neurons are starting to catch up.
Malachite/Azurite, fine (.999) Silver bezel setting, sterling silver backplate polished to a mirror shine.
