Good looking dog, Ed. Is it male or female, and is it a particular breed or mix?
As for me not posting any projects lately, it's because I've been too busy and only have two little motorcycle related projects left and they have no schedule for delivery needed. I imagine things will change soon, as I've thought of a couple of things I should do, such as clean up my Walter dividing head and try to find some collets for the collet chuck it came with. They're a real oddball style, never seen anything like them anywhere and I have done some searching. I also need to do a clean up on my lathe, needs the spindle oil changed, and I need to take apart the way oil pump on the apron because it apparently hasn't worked in years.
Plenty to do, just need time and motivation.

...
She's mostly a miniature schnauzer with a small mix of something else. It's a rescue dog. Someone abandoned her and her 5 puppies along a road and a good Samaritan brought them to a shelter. All of the puppies survived and I think they've all been adopted. I'll be fostering the mother for at least two weeks to see how we get along then I'll decide if I want to adopt her. I know the couple personally that run the rescue and we've been watching for a dog that would be a good fit for me since I'm gone 11 hours a day during the work week.
Sorry about the OT.

my gopher killer is a rescue dog, he rescued me from the perils walking into the depths of Pet Smart
Sure hate to loose the little dude now.
Here he is watching for our coffee drinking buddy to show up.

That's funny Rob. I was just going to mention to John to be careful of that swinging clamp on the mould as they can be quite fragile, and not cheap to replace.
What size is that one? 2 -3 lb.?
