Glad to hear all is well with the hurricane. But is that Khadafi's (or Qaddhafi or however it is spelled) reflection in the side of the shell?

Of course, if Dark' is harboring Ghadafi, Qadhafi, Qhaddaphi, or whatever, he won't admit it. But look at the facts—no one can find him in Libya, the best place to hide is under your enemies' nose, i.e., the US, Khadafi is crazy enough to wear ear muffs in Fla. in the summer, and those flowing robes are a giveaway.

Now it has no head. Rebels must've caught up with 'em.

I've seen photos of the Ukrainian nurse and I think your sister looks better—once again, Ghaddafi got the best deal.

Depeche Mode has some great music to work by.Funny how the right music can make work fly by.
How many hours do you have polishing so far?I'm motivated to polish mine with your methods after seeing how nice yours looks.You're making it look too easy.

Ive been listening to a lot of XM Classic Vinyl, Classic Rewind, and 1st Wave. Music has been my salvation!

I'm guessing 80hrs. There were some spots on the endcaps and upper sides that had to be sanded and the sanded areas take longer to polish. It's actually fun because you can see the progress and when you take a break you can't wait to get back to it.

If it is xm radio - for me I listen to the VERGE
