    "Beauty" is Home

    She arrived yesterday, right in the middle of a training session I am doing. Fortunately, My partner took the session for a few hours so I could take delivery and unpack her. Then I had to go back. Wont get to see her now until Thursday.

    Why don't you bring the trainees to your house and train them how to put a lathe together?
    Congrats! It looks like art in the making.

    Nice striptease, Chris.

    But now that she's naked, I wanna see her dance with a nice big hunk of attic wood.
