I recently visited Michigan and two days after landing immediately fell ill. Laid up for five out of 8 visiting days. To say the least mom was disappointed. As was I, no solids, only few liquids, and not even enough energy to read I was confined. Quality time with mom and sister did occur, just at a sedated level.

Now back in Colorado,

Its all gravy.

This weekend I will make my own cold wax. Like this:

4 parts: Beeswax
1 part: Damar crystals
1 part: Sun thickened linseed oil
12 parts: Solvent

In pursuit of less wax burns and unstable hot pots.

I'll let you know how it goes!
