The Hot Metallic Smell of Victory

Here I am measuring a part I cut to a length of two inches.


I am, if ever so slowly, becoming a better machinist.  

That plus hearing last week that I would again be excavating at Vindolanda has put me in an upbeat mood albeit with an odd thematic mixture.

Amid the humming of the lathes and mills I thought I heard something like:

"Ave fabricator fortis. Vulcanus ipse saluto"

I'll be putting comments into "moderator" format for a while. Sometimes they get a bit off topic. I'll post almost all of them even the One Weird Trick Spamsters if they amuse me. I also answer my email at dagmarsuarez@gmail.com
