If you are experiencing a prolonged period of builders block, clean shop. You may eventually come to the conclusion that someone of copious intellect once worked there. Throw away those needle nose pliers that you fight with. Gummed up brushes in the trash. You may fire up an ember!

It's nice to hear from you again, Crabby. We've missed you. Mike.
