Well first off I was joking about the hotel room, actually we have nice rooms.
Here are the pictures
Well today we show the electrical fiasco, this little beat up box converts
to 110 for me. Notice the high gauged extension cord.
This morning I watched a few people get arrested. Young teens for what I do not
know, but they put them up against the wall and threatened them by tapping
their batons into their hands
The more lippy the kid, the further his feet were put from the wall
and they just let them stand their, wanted to snap some pics, but the
officers were eyeing me up so better not...
Next is my noon time progress
Today's mystery meat was fish of some sort.
We had our first injury today, someone slipped with a chisel and got it
stabbed into his shin
nothing too serious, and guys it was not me... had nothing to do with it, a nod
no where near...
Starting to learn left handed hammer swinging, got give my right a rest...
Exhausted, so this is all you get for today
November 5
Some days are just meant to be non-productive, and today I should have
stayed in bead.
Well where do I start, it was raining when I got there, and my tent tarp
blew away.
Then all the hammer drilling in the morning proved to be a waste and a
mistake on my behalf.
A bit impatient, I tried to save time, and lost a day....
Most of the cuts went bad....
they shattered instead of coming off in nice clean cuts.
then when a good cut did come along, the slab fell on the water pail,
squishing it to nothing and shooting water onto the viewing crowd
Ended up on television today, doing some of my work...
then to make it all worse hell broke lose.
First a rock fell onto the tiny extension cord.
Boom and no electricity...?
found the culprit, and the cord not only sheered but fried itself too
well Macgyvered another cord, plugged it in and boom instant fireworks..
found a 3rd cord, burnt the end off,
fixed it and finally discovered that when the first cord was severed, it
fried my 9 inch angle grinder.
my cutting tool of choice at this stage.
borrowed another, which was old and cooked it self.
Cannot get my 9 inch disk off of it.
Also cracked one 7 inch disk, and ruined one pair of shoes....
yeah...
one of those days...
well going shopping tomorrow, ...
what a day...
here is my little progress of the day.
that is all I have to show..
This is the current status of my hand.
