I found another interesting antique cast iron vanity bench on Facebook marketplace and I'm calling all S101 antique experts to help me track down any information about it. I've googled a gazillion keywords and still come up with nothing. The Swans are remarkably detailed and ornate, with...

I know it's not a sign...but it was a lot more fun. The artwork was composed in Gerber Omega and cut on the GS15+. Lettering and artwork are deep-cut sandblasted, with the circle around the sun approx. 1/4" deep. The stone pieces are tumbled blue stone, and can be configured two different...

This time of year, especially... I have three grandsons ages 5, 4 and 3. It's amazing how skillfully they've mastered this fine art at such an early age. The only thing left to teach them is not to do so in polite company...especially when their girl cousins are hanging around! But I'm sure...

This is not mine, nor do I represent the seller. If I lived closer to pick it up, you wouldn't be reading this. WARNING: Seller only has a 77.8% feedback rating JB https://www.ebay.com/itm/Gerber-Edge-thermal-printer-and-GS-15-plus-plotter/153920107065?hash=item23d65a7239:g:~qsAAOSwk~peZjVo

If you're old enough....try to imagine Howard Cosell narrating the play-by-play on ABC's Wide World of Sports. Probably the best six minutes you'll waste today... JB

So there's been some rumblings that if all small business came back online instantaneously there would be major supply chain issues due to the lack of general resources. Given the current TP debacle, how many restaurants and businesses could still remain closed due to the lack of necessary...

Ok, so I was just finishing up on a telephone call when my call waiting beeped in and notified me of another call. Fully expecting a colleague on the other end of the line, I was a bit miffed to discover it was a telemarketer hawking a medical alert pendent. So... Being totally bored, and...

Here's a bit of encouragement for owner / operators who're hanging tough during these difficult times. It's an interview with Paul Jarvis, author of Company of One. Well worth your time to watch: Key takeaways: -Don't promote yourself out of a job you love, into a job you don't like. -...

Left Brain? Right Brain? I typically dwell amidst dead center, but I fully (and deeply) immerse in either hemisphere, depending on the project at hand. It's a wonderful place to live. This is my Monday fun-day project, deeply cut into natural field stone. JB

Amidst today's headlines, life continues to press on and good things still happen. Join me in welcoming my new granddaughter, Emma Joy. I definitely need this in my life right now! She joins three very rambunctious brothers ages 5, 4 and 3. There's no doubt she'll grow up to be one of the...

After an early, and extended spring break, Michigan school children will soon to be off to an equally early summer vacation....albeit the strangest and most memorable one...especially at the outset. Yes kids, it's all fun and games until things start interrupting your summer vacation...so deal...

I just paid for my order from a large national supplier...gave CC info...the whole 9 yards. The worker said she was working from home...which got me to wondering....how do they securely dispose of the information after they jot it down on a piece of paper? My invoice came directly from their...

Good morning S101 family: It's officially "news-free Friday". Turn off the news and spend some quality time focused upon lung-cleansing laughter. It may prove beneficial in the days to come. As of late, I answer the telephone nearly every time it rings, hoping to entangle some...

Ok...so enough with the the strife of the current situation at hand. Starting tomorrow, I'm officially turning off the news and focusing on Post Covid-19 world. Has anybody begun putting together a post Covid-19 opportunity list? What will a post Covid-19 customer look like, and what will...

I posted this in another thread, but in case you missed it, it seems to be beyond serious....there's a 5 page .pdf file you can download to determine what is considered 'life sustaining". They claim they'll be taking action for non compliance beginning Saturday morning. Amidst all that, the...

Very little news on the 5.7 earthquake in Salt Lake City yesterday. Nowhere to be found on the major news sites without having to search for it. That would have made front page news for at least the good part of the week....but absolutely nothing. Now, it's tornadoes in Texas today. Here in...
