An Odd Week

This post is a total ramble.  


This has been an Odd week.  Oddly busy! Oddly creative!


Monday I was busy unpacking the stuff we took on our short weekend trip for the driving lesson, and working on the cow.


Tuesday the new washer was delivered and I had to catch up on the wash and ship the cow.


Wednesday I went to the dentist for a little problem, and found out my little problem was  an abscess on an old root canal and crowned tooth. I had lost too much bone to save it.


Thursday I had the tooth pulled and the prep and placement of a temporary bridge.  I will get the permanent bridge in February.  Many $$$  :~(


The really odd thing is that I have no pain.  Seems the placement of the temporary bridge has kept the hole from the extraction from getting any air or from bleeding.  I have a great dentist.  He cut the tooth in half so it would come out easier.


Today I worked on a buffalo sculpture and at the same time did some experiments with a new way of making the moose antlers.  I am very excited because I think I have finally solved a big problem  that has been dogging me for years.


A major break thru that will make the antlers lighter and stronger than before.  It makes the prospect of making and selling moose when we are on the road   possible!  


I tried a new application for a very old material.  Something I thought of in a "light bulb" moment in the middle of the night!


Very exciting.


Maybe when the dentist pulled my tooth he unblocked a creative force.


The hard part is I won't really be able to follow up with it until the end of January.  Too many other things to do!  
Unless I take the experiments along. 
 Maybe I will. 
 Where better to see if something will work on the road, than on the road!


Yes.
