did a bunch of bluing this morning, then fire bluing later. Got several customer's guns finished. Full engraved an El Diablo for a customer yesterday and last night and finished up one of our Ultimate Hi Powers this morning while my bluing tanks were coming up to temp. So hopefully several guns to show you this week.
By the way that is my version of relaxing.

Don't tell me I don't work! And I bet Gary would say the same thing. He doesn't put in all these long days to be told he doesn't work. The IRS even insists we pay taxes on our "love" money. The only people who love what they do and don't work are those career welfare recipients.

Well put, JT.

I do love to teach young people and the interaction between teacher and student but there many aspects of the job I hate.

I hate the paperwork.

I hate the fact that if I have a student that dislikes or detests having to read I am responsible for somehow to " sell" the joys of reading to them.

I hate the required in-service trainings that apply to what I do as much as how much mustard a cat can lick.

Before this Corona pandemic stuff one of my students thanked me for all that I did. He completed the program and thanked me. One of my best.

FROM TEACHING 25 YEARS AGO AND IN-SERVICE WAS ALWAYS A WASTE OF TIME BACK THEN. LOVED THE KIDS FOR 31 YEARS.

JT my point was not that you don't perform work

But it is not the same tedium of performing a job you don't enjoy or like and if you love what you do you might actually enjoy and look forward the tasks.
