    Yep, waaaayyyy before Trucking, I worked at some kind of rendering facility or dead animals processing center turning vile stuff into dog chow for a couple days on 1st or 2nd through a day labor gig in the early 90's and my appetite wasn't happening, just drank a LOT of Water.

    Some folks claimed they'd been there for years, I said "good (gag & choke) for you".
    2nd day was to confirm the first was real and the LAST time I ever did such.

    Back in the day, I think only a few sizes/shapes of blank horseshoes. Nail holes, but you had to heat and bring it together for ponies or
    spread it a bit for the draft horses/mules. Aso, cut off any rear excess or shorten it up properly and fold over to give it a "high heel".

    Most interesting was the taking the removable"points" off a 4 bottom turning plow and to the smithy to get "laid".
    Sharpening was heating the outer inch and beating it thinner to be a sharp edge. Laying was after sharpening several times, the piece was worn
    down say a half inch..
    Smithy would heat it, heat a piece of other stock same and "lay" it on the point edge. Beat them together. Thereby increasing/building up the lost wear. Blacksmith welding at its best. Same way they fused the metal on a wagon wheel to make it endless/round. Place it over the wheel hub/spokes hot, dribble water all round to shrink it tight. (Never saw a rim come off a stagecoach wheel in he heat of an outlaw chase doid you?)

    Wasn't implying any disrespect. Fun fact-they also trim/shod cow hoofs too. A real ####ty job.

    Big feet and small hands? I mean how small are we talking here? Are we talking small for your build or small like small children flee in fear and women shriek it terror? There is a wide range of small hands ya know.

    Haaa.. Reason your electric is so low, is you are being billed off that 30909 meter (prolly a vacant lot/minimum base service) when you are using at 30905.
    I'll get an information off to them tonite..Before you get too far in arrears...
