As the World Turns

Good morning friends.
It is 8 am. I have been up since four battling and trying to stay alive. I play a game called Nukezone and we are at war with several clans, two of which appear to have an alliance going. That is for another blog though.
I have managed to turn out another 35 or so of the tubes with 5 more flattened on one side. I wish I was not so old and could do more. I have found that in order to maintain interest and the ability to have any feeling in my hands, I limit what I do. I go out and pound 5 flat on one side, take a few minutes off and do something like watch tv or play my computer game, go out and do the other 5 (I have them in bundles of ten). Repeat the break, go out again and do either 5 or ten on the second side. It is much easier doing the second side because I have made a jig to slide the first flattened side into so that the other side will be on the same plane as the first.
It also helps when my son goes out and does a few, although he has done very few. He has the health and hands, but not the interest and feels like it is a chore, which usually just makes it eaasier for me to just do it myself.
My wife thinks this will be a good first project. It si large enough for a small cabin at 23 feet across, but small enough to tackle. Plus, so far I only have about $300 invested. I am learning tons and will be able to use that whne I build our home. Yes, I have fianlly convinced her (I think) that a dome is the best shape and that she can deal with the curved surfaces and better yet, it will go undergorund. Ahh, no more firewood, or little anyway. I figure we will use about a cord rather than the 5 now.
I am hopeful to get help from the kid today and plow through the last 55 or so tubes.
