It was planned in my mind to be longer and sleeker, but every mistake makes it smaller. Leaned a lot and look forward to breaking more rocks.

I bet doing it would make your heart beat faster too. Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)

It's not boring, you can watch some beginner how to videos on Youtube and get started, it's fun, even if you mess up. Originally Posted by Zim Looks good Jeff! You are a man of many talents.
