My Kitties, My Flower Project, and Plato and a Platypus (again)

Mousie (orange) and
Daisy (black)


The writing on the yellow paper says "4th attempt," but the 4th attempt was NOT the final attempt.

I may have finally achieved success with the 5th attempt; I'll only know at the end of this project (and then it might be too late). What I was trying to do (and may have finally done) is make 8 holes in a one quarter inch thick round of plastic and 3 thin sheets of plastic that would line up with each other. Thankfully the four failed attempts were needed on only one of these layers; the others required one to four total attempts. I think I now know what I wish I'd known at the start of the process.

I count myself lucky that on this, my first solo with a power drill,
I somehow avoided swiss cheesing either hand.

I've been working on this project since the beginning of March. The photos at right are the ones that didn't make the cut, but give
an idea of what I'm doing, or hope to be doing. Hopefully I'll be able to include a photo of the finished project by the end of August . . . 2008.

Two Cows:

Two cows are standing in the pasture. One turns to the other and says,"Although pi is usually abbreviated to five numbers, it actually goes on into infinity.”

The second cow turns to the first and says, “Moo.”
