Things Always Take Longer Then I Think It Will

I had lofty plans today. HaHa. As usual, things always take longer than I think it will. The line at the bank was very long. I couldn't find someone at Home Depot to help me find the Screws I needed. The ultimate was going to Salvation Army for old pillow cases. It was 50% off day. The check out line didn't look to long when I walked in. When I was ready to get into the line it was very ugly! Needless to say, what would have normally take 45 minutes for all my errands ended up taking 2 hours.
Now I am sure you are wondering why I need pillow cases. This is what I run the used oil from the saws through when I clean them out. This allows me to recycle about 80% of the oil and allows the "mud" to become a rock. I use food grade mineral oil so the whole dripping out of the mud takes about as long as it is to dirty the saws again.
So taking longer than I had planned means I didn't get as much done as I had hoped. Still have a flat spot on the Snake Skin agate sphere. Did not finish the 4 inch Rocky Butte Sphere that is in the forming machine. What I did accomplish: The Blue Calcite/Onyx has had it's corners cut and is ready to form, the Mexican Crazy Lace Agate Sphere is round, The African Turquoise is ready to form. Tomorrow will be a busy day.
