Happy 4th of July

Post by uglyokie »

Spent most the day working on window restoration. Scraping 4 layers of old paint, sanding, etc. Not much fun but it did get me out of reach from Pqtex's bothersome cats for a while and there is some satisfaction in making progress.

After that I treated myself to a few minutes of hobby work. Removing hard rock matrix from one of my fossils, which when I think about it really kinda like scraping layers of old paint off a window.....except it's fun!

It's the ulna of a Patriotsaurus.

The other thing is a window, but you knew that.
