I hear ya!!!

Let's see... after cleaning up a leaking poop diaper, reprimanding my daughter for stealing something she shouldn't have, discovering the drain pipes under the sink in the pantry are leaking BADLY (and leaving a message for the landlord), rewashing laundry from the other day when my daughter thought it would be fun to take off her diaper, poop on the bed and then dance in it... I'd say I've had a full morning. Just waiting for the little guy to fall asleep (which he should have done easily considering how poorly he slept last night but he's fighting it, tooth & nail) so I can get going on my homework.

Can't wait for their Grandma to pick them up tonight!!!!!!

I just returned from a cemetery where I did a rubbing for a shaped carving..I saw our old inscription guy about 8 stones over from me but didn't say anything..we fired him last year because he was so slow and made quite a few errors where we had to replace the entire monument. Our new guy is great and we paid him almost $6,000 last month..but made an equal amount of profit off his work. Alot of people prebuy their tombstone and when they pass away all that's needed is the death date to be inscribed with portable sandblast equipment..

Killed my battery leaving the key in the ignition lastr nite, so around 10:30PM I hooked up my charger and went back out an hour later to discover the charger was dead. Called roadside service and they came by and charged me up, getting ready to do a BJ's and Home Depot run to check out kitchen cabinet hardware for the "Fall Kitchen Project". It's going according to plan. This hardware decision can be milked for at least a month or 2, since I just won't be able to agree on what style I like. Next thing ya know, it's March and I can work on the counters.

Right now I'm watching live video from a camera on the seawall in Galveston (I put the link up in the weather forum)

Based on how Ike looks and with all the water he's pushing, anyone choosing to stay in Galveston during the next 24 hours should at minimum be writing their names on multiple body parts with sharpies to help aid in their identification process in the next few days!

Just finished making my Kale, white bean, kielbasa soup. Turned out great, kale is very underrated. Added some chopped up tomatoes and potatoes. I love soup.

If you don't mind the fat, I have a tasty kale casserole type thing that I make. Kale, potatoes, kielbasa, and shredded cheese. YUM. Definitely underrated.

Right now... just ate a hot dog. Sounds like the kid is asleep so I have a date with The Fencing Master.

Sounds delish. I'll give you a heads up for the recipe the next time I do something with kale. I still have to do something with the mustard greens and leeks. If you post it now, I'll forget it.

do they make the headstones from 3d models.

No...we don't do any of the manufacturing..another company cuts them into various shapes. We deal with four main styles...lawn level markers, bevel markers, slant markers and monuments. Slants sometimes sit on a base and monuments always sit on a base except for monoliths with are set into concrete. The tops of slants and monuments are either flat, oval or serpentine..and they can be polished or unfinished. The artist at the sandblast facility in western PA uses a computer program to draw up proofs for families to review and sign-off on..then we get the finished monuments delivered to us and we set them. We also work with another artist who does custom etchings on Jet Black and Impala black monuments. She has an $80,000 laser etching machine that is hooked up to a computer...I could take a picture of you...have our artist scan it into her computer and it can be etched right onto the monument and we do full color etchings as well...it's fun stuff..

i do alot of 3d prototyping so i was thinging about designing my own stone. my friend has a 5 axis cnc but wasn't sure about working with stone pluss he didn't want to do it because he thought it was a little morbid and might be self fullfilling.
