Was cranking the blower handle yesterday evening and the wind shifted just a bit and the odor of burning hair came to me nose. Ducked and checked the facial fuzz with my hands but nothing was actively burning so went back to cranking but at a lower stance and as far away from active flame as I could get. Need to put a wind shield around the firepit. Or get a shed up to house it and the rest of the tools. More to do than time and energy permits... Close in is a relative thing.

Of course, that's the usual way it is most of the time, but it's really irritating when it's item #12, instead of item #1, or #2, or #3....so many symptoms can be the same thing/a combination of things that it can be very interesting. I have gotten to where if I have a machine acting weird, I mean REALLY weird even for Windoze, I pop a memory test disk into it overnight and make sure (or reasonably sure, anyway) that the memory is OK. Cause, like nobody in the family is happy if Mama ain't happy, nothing in the machine is right if the memory ain't right. Right? I like the smithing stuff, both yours and the links. Working a forge in this weather is probably a "close in" type of thing, whereas in July/August you probably would like some 10 foot tongs and hammer handles to do the work with. Remind me never to arm-wrestle a blacksmith... I hate that too–when you have a problem, and it’s the LAST thing that you try.
