Not steaming as in "steaming mad", steaming as in "OMG it's 110F (with the humidity factored in) and I just spent the better part of the day either outside or in an un-air conditioned warehouse".
Things done:
- Helped my brother finish working on my car. New radiator ftw! *
- Bought firebrick for my soldering area.
- Bought sodium bisulphate and boric acid for soldering. I really like pool supply stores.
- Bought bread at Great Harvest, and talked myself into buying their evil pumpkin/chocolate chip muffins. (OMG so good.)
- Dropped off bread as a thank-you for my brother.
- Took all of my new toys over to my workshop.
- Set up the toys.
- Set the torch regulators correctly, and wrote down the settings.
- Torch-fired counter enamel on the backs of some pendants.
- Bought Gourmet Nutty Caramel Corn from some Boy Scouts. **
Still need to do:
- Move metal table into work area and move all my soldering equipment there.
- Buy denatured alcohol and canned air. And paper towels. And more mandrels for the flexshaft. And binding wire. And an enamel pen....etc.
- Finish inventory for ArmadilloCon.
*However, this necessitated getting up at 6:30 to be over there at 7:00. Yes, a.m. We are not amused.
** Hey, I'm gaming tonight! This way I'll only eat what I want and most of the rest should be gone at the end of the night.

Thanks for reminding me.

Date: 2009-08-12 08:02 pm (UTC)It depends on how much space you have. I have some great Alicia Austin, and that fluffy artist from Florida. Mary Hanson-Robers.
I'll come early on Friday and get set up fast in the Dealers Room and come by.

Date: 2009-08-12 08:07 pm (UTC)I bought an Alicia Austin original as a resale last year.
I tried to get Willie to put some of his collection up for resale in the Show, but he never responded to my email. *sigh*
I'm sorry I forgot to mention it earlier.
