A few little things

So in my public post of the other day I forgot to mention one tool I had a look at in the woodwork class wednesday. It was a sander, (not a belt sander; again, i forget what it's called; will have to ask), but it runs on compressed air. I had never seen that particular technology before so it interested me very much. I vaguely knew that it is used for nail guns etc, but I'd never actually been told how it worked. It was amazing; once I'd plugged the hose into the outlet (there's pipes hanging on chains above each work bench), I just connected it to sander and pressed down on the top and away it went in circular motions around the timber. When I was first trying to plug the hose into the pipe, it came out and gave me a heck of a fright as the air pushing it out was extremely loud; I jumped half a mile; Lol! -- anyway so yeh, it's so much fun and am looking forward to making our first project next week. :)
OK I was starting to play RS Monopoly with this guy yesterday afternoon, and he got all nasty with me because I wouldn't trade with him; he called me selfish and unfair; I couldn't believe it. Last I checked, one wasn't obligated to trade, so how is that unfair? Second of all, some people just need to win all the time. I left the game; seriously, i just have to shake my head sometimes. -- Yes, i did use to have a bit of a "sore loser" attitude but it's stupid; it's only a game; No-one actually gains anything from it, except maybe a bit of pride that lasts all of like two minutes!
I'm off soon to meet Michelle (new friend) at boxhill where we'll do lunch then maybe a bit of a shop.
This week, i must call up about more potential jobs, oh yes I must!
And think that's about all for now.
