Afternoon everyone….
I just arrived back at my shop to begin, what is hopefully the last day of pumping the water out of my shop.
I currently have two jobs near completion. One if the grout is dry enough will be completed later tonight. The other still requires some hard work. Both were scheduled to be done prior to Christmas.
Obviously I did not foresee this flooding event happening. One of my customers has been very understanding. While the other is really giving me a hard time. Of course it’s the one that still has some hard work left on it. She is basically holding my completion date over my head. Luckily the way that I worded the contract it states completed by Christmas.
I am going to be doing everything that I can to be done. Buy I also want to be working there on Christmas Eve purposely now. Why? Because she is having people over at 2pm, and has made my life hell since Monday. Why not ruin her day with me being there working during her party…..
On a different note….
This is the third round released by the Silvertowne Mint for their Legendary Warriors series. It is Achilles. Nice design
In case you don’t already know who Achilles is, here is some info:
In Greek mythology, Achilles (/əˈkɪliːz/ ə-KIL-eez) or Achilleus (Greek: Ἀχιλλεύς, translit. Achilleús) was a hero of the Trojan War who was known as being the greatest of all the Greek warriors. A central character in Homer's Iliad, he was the son of the Nereid Thetis and Peleus, king of Phthia and famous Argonaut. Achilles was raised in Phthia along with his childhood companion Patroclus and received his education by the centaur Chiron. In the Iliad, he is presented as the commander of the mythical tribe of the Myrmidons.
Achilles' most notable feat during the Trojan War was the slaying of the Trojan prince Hector outside the gates of Troy. Although the death of Achilles is not presented in the Iliad, other sources concur that he was killed near the end of the Trojan War by Paris, who shot him with an arrow. Later legends (beginning with Statius' unfinished epic Achilleid, written in the 1st century AD) state that Achilles was invulnerable in all of his body except for one heel. According to that myth, when his mother Thetis dipped him in the river Styx as an infant, she held him by one of his heels leaving it untouched by the waters and thus his only vulnerable body part.
Alluding to these legends, the term "Achilles' heel" has come to mean a point of weakness which can lead to downfall, especially in someone or something with an otherwise strong constitution. The Achilles tendon is named after him following the same legend. From Wikipedia
Now for the round…
