Jazzing the neighbor, not OT

>So I am home for lunch and the neighbor's landscape guy is hard at work. Neighbor waives. We chat and he expresses concern about my unkempt lawn. Of course I was able to steer the talk to blademaking and handplanes. Outcome was positive. I bought at least until next Monday on the yard (it does look pretty shabby). In addition, I will write a 150 word article on handplanes for his newsletter--he edits the local Italian-American newsletter. Also, a shop tour may be in store next week during my vacation. It was win-win for everyone, especially for those patient guys who would rather see me in the shop tonite working on Miller blade sets instead of waltzing with the mower.
