Although this isn't a typical happy new year message, I do hope your dreams and bucket lists continue to seem possible.

I thought I would kick it off with a lesson in what not to do based on a comment by Fred27 about using a hot air workstation in a kitchen.

This is another inappropriate use of a 900 degree hot air pencil:

Hi Douglas,

It's always a Happy New Year when we don't burn the house down writing Happy New Year. I look forward to your new adventures in 2020.

Hi Doug,

I was going to be a smartass and try to out do you by using the $30,000 dental laser I have sitting in the corner to burn Happy New Year into a piece of wood. While I was practicing to write it…

I had a similar experience with a 40W CO2 laser when I decided it could share the same fume extraction vent as the cooker hood. It back-vented vapourized acrylic into the kitchen. I was not popular.

Yeah. Today, it looks like easy-outs. Bye, 20 minutes I could've used on something else!
