I don't have time to get out this way very often!

 

Likewise, nice to talk with you too....

 

Shinsa will probably be next year.....

 

House is slow but steady....

 

Difficult for me to see the boshi clearly but in any case a jizo boshi is also midare-komi ;) ......

Thank you chris. I appreciate your input. Did you see the ww2/showa blade I aquired from an old abandoned house?

 

You are most welcome....

 

Don't think I saw the haunted house sword!

LOL. well I was talking to him in PM and on the phone this week, and he told me to post the questions here so we could all learn fom his expertise. I even told him I don't want too, people might think I don't believe you or am not listening LOL. But he assured me it is better to post the quuestions here, so all people see the answers and we all have a chance to learn.
