–Went to UPS to mail off the Magnus slider to Kevin Hann for anodizing. Picked up the eBay Torqbar clone (okay, but heavy (tungsten, duh) and the beautiful zircuti button is miniscule); and the Kuko slider from Plants (nice slider, especially for the money).
–Soaked Jan’s plants and herbs.
–Polished a set of Magnus plates several times after they developed large fingernail-evident scratches. They scratched right up again. Don’t know what’s going on–there’s nothing there that could scratch like that (he said).
