That's a rough lookin' rock but you got a nice point out of it. Slow down,take a break and then think abvout it for awhile,that's why I don't get much done 8)

That's a nice one, Bob. I've started making myself slow down and I can see the difference. I've got to the point if I start having problems and don't really feel like dealing with it I put it in the problem pile. I'll go back to the problem pile when I feel like slowing down and learning how to solve something new instead of just beating on it till it breaks.
I've found usually it's a matter of just setting up a real good platform and grinding the right angle.
