184609 "Tony Zaffuto" <tzmti@c...> 2008‑11‑13 Bio update--Tony Zaffuto
Let's see, I think I've been hanging here 5 years or so, although it feels
like I joined just yesterday!  Why is time starting to fly by so quickly?

I'm 56 now, same SWMBO of now 29 years.  We've got three daughters:  Oldest
is 28 and an architect.  Middle is 26 and a graphic designer (also engaged,
with a date set for next summer).  Youngest is 8 (still haven't figured out
how she happened!) and still on track to become a singing scientist.  Our
beagle Molly is now chasing rabbits up in the sky somewhere and has since
been replaced by Mac, also a beagle.  Nothing like a good house and shop
beagle.  Still hammering out powder metal parts in my plant, although our
primary market is automotive and that's not a good thing!  

I've been fortunate to have a bit more time on my hands for shop work and
always seem to have a project or two underway.  Currently I'm building a
cherry side board, and of course, electrons have not been sacrificed (well,
I did buy the lumber S4S though).  I've got a lot of problems:  saws,
chisels, planes, anything resembling a Fray, anything looking like it can be
chucked into a Spofford chuck and did I say plumb bobs?  Yea, especially
plumb bobs.  My wife says we can decorate the tree this year with some of
them!  In short, I like old things!  One of these days, I'm going to have to
become a bit more organized in what I accumulate and where I put it, but
that's really no fun, now is it?  What is better than rooting in your shop
and finding a treasure that you forgotten you had?  

Enough for my halfway point to a decade being here Bio!
