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…

    It did highlight the fact that I could use another smoke detector in the lab.

    Many of my good ideas turn out to be not so good when reconsidered.

    I can imagine the situation ... the saner people I live with weren't thrilled with the smoke I generated either.

    Of course I had neglected to turn on my fancy fume extractor, but I was prepared to put out a fire if it lit up..

    I suspect my hot air machine could burn wood too, but I would have to lug it up to the fireplace.

    Happy New Decade!
