Halfway to Portland
Resolved: Stillsuits > gay cowboys
But gay cowboys wearing stillsuits would be the best ever.

What is the only thing stupider than driving 200 miles for donuts?
Driving 200 miles only to find out that they have sold out of donuts.

Dammit, the new machete blade cracked when I was redoing the heat treatment.
I need to be more careful about normalization. I'm thinking I'll get a section of 2 inch black iron pipe, and heat the blades through that. It will make getting an even heat for quenching much easier, and if I turn off the burner and leave it in there, should be a nice, slow, even cooling for normalizing. Won't have to worry about gusts of air or the blade drooping as I move it around.
