Jack, Glad to have you back! I'm starting to get a little work done now, too. I thought about saying something to the auctioneer, but I figured they would just pull it out of the sale and it would never be seen again. At least this way I have it and have it tracked down to the right cemetery, and will return it as soon as I can find someone working on cemeteries in Martin county near Shoals IN. I learned a valuable lesson the other day. I was repairing a stone and it was a little cool, so I mixed the mastico hardner a little heavy thinking that would help. The plastic cup I was mixing in started smoking and popping! I have a Hindostan whetstone marker broke in about 10 peices I'm goung to try to fix next, but I think I'll wait for a warm day. I think Walt recommended above 50 degrees. Ernie At 05:14 PM 12/8/01, you wrote: >Hi to the List, I'm, back after 23 days.
