I'm a happy guy!! Nice to be old and still learning!!

Bingo to both of your comments. "Teach in order to learn" is my e-mail sig. at work. It feels great to really nail it on an stone/edge combo, doesn't it? (especially the first few times hehe).

I would consider myself an intermediate honer on a good day, but it seems I learn something useful every time I sit down at my honing station these days; mutiple revelations in the last few weeks on cotis and arks. Hey, the in-laws finally went home here, so I'm spread out all over one end of the dining-room table; that's what I'm talkin' about!
