Comment on Doing the Math: 2 x One of Two-of-a-Kind by Jim

Hey Caryl – I’m with you on the combo-thing idea and I have a few ideas. One of the monstrously huge MickyD straws might actually slide over that square shaft end.

I love the idea of a nostie/WPI combo. It would mean 1 tool instead of 2 in my spinning tool kit. I’d love to see more variations on this theme. I’m not so sure about the square shaft – I’d have to ‘touch and feel’ – I sometimes slide the cop off and onto a drinking straw for storage while I spin up the next ‘batch.’ But the square shaft would keep it from rolling when you put it down….

cheers,

Well, DOH… Of course! So they wouldn’t be the same as the two-of-a-kind and won’t upset the balance of the cosmos! Make mine top whorl and less than one ounce, but with a fairly long shaft.

You have to truly believe in the existence of the “Two-of-a-Kind”. If I were to make another of either of these tools that’d then be “THREE-of-a-Kind” and the balance of the cosmos would be thrown horribly out of kilter. I could never let that happen.

The rams, Bartok and Cole, are “in” with the girls. The math should be: (11 EWES – 1 EWE returning to North Haven after breeding) / 2 RAMS X 200% Lambing Rate = 20 LAMBs “on the ground” come Spring 2012 And then, of course, Mother Nature and The Law of Averages dictate that there will be 10 Ram lambs and 10 Ewe lambs. If you think I sound very knowledgeable, just remember that Mr. Woody Allen said, “If you want to make God laugh, tell him about your plans.”
