I was never really away, only from watches - it's been a least a month now, but I have been keeping an eye on things here all the time and seeing spammers out.

I am better, not completely well, it takes time to come back after a type A streptoccal infection - bloodpoison. It was really bad when it started, people loose their fingers, hands, toes, feet, face parts, arms and legs - or die. I don't die from things like this, that would be ironic when I look back on my life.

This hairspring is one resilient mofo, the goo has not given up to acetone, cleaning solution and other chemicals I have here, the god damn thing is completely covered with grease/oil and lint....everything is clinging together like a post it note....
