Re: Joining you from Tennessee
Too late. Today I drank a rock. I had a glass of water on the patio table while I was working on the other side of the patio. Turns out the dust flew far enough to get into my drink. Yuck!!! How awesome you have the cab machine for when you need it. I think it would be cool to facet, but I probably ...
