Good luck on the expedition today, Charmion and Andrew.

Mrrzy, I feel your pain, chaos everywhere here. But your room can be tamed, working in small steps or a couple big blitzes, whatever works for you.

SRS, I forgot we had a research librarian in our midst. Thank you for taking the time to find links on mops, big help!

I kept my nose to the saw yesterday and managed to get one of the three slat frames put together, despite one mishap and lots of mis-steps. Thanking myself for traveling with a handsaw and hacksaw, both were needed since the miter saw has its limits.

I must have missed any post you made about the meteorite bits, that's very cool. Had no idea you had chunks of the Chixulub meteor!   

I only have one tiny slice of a meteorite I got from an old Russian in Tucson. It has Widmanstätten patterns, but is one that is prone to rust, so I have to keep it oiled up. Which makes it darn hard to mount!
