Me doing "real" work ;-)

Novi, MI - May 21, 2023: Rick Karn (with Debbe Dunning) host a panel at Motor City Comic Con

Glass knob bokeh.

 

They are a pale pink glass (reproduction Depression Glass). Unfortunately, they look amber in the poor natural light. Had to use the flash to get the pink to show up, but it was so stark and showed the flaws in the paint job, I didn't post it. Take my word for it, they are the cutest thing you've ever seen.

He can fix anything!

But he'll get the job done.

HALF AND HALF

 

Half Arsed

 

We've all heard the phrase that something was done "half-a$$ed," but few people stop to wonder what such a ridiculous expression could possibly mean. The term "half-a$$ed" evolved from "half-adz." An adz is an axelike tool with a curved blade used for shaping wood. If you were wealthy and paid top-dollar for a new fireplace, the mantle would be shaped using an adz in the front as well as the back side, which isn't visible. However, if you weren't wealthy and wanted to save money, you could have only the front visible portion of the mantle shaped, this cheaper job being a "half-adz" job.

 

Yeah, I don't have an adz in my tool collection. So you won't see one in the picture.
