Today I learned that although dust from turning white dremel bugs may LOOK like the foam on top of my espresso drink, it doesn’t TASTE like foam. And it’s not particularly good on a sore throat either. Blech.

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming-WOW—What A Ride!
Hi Diane,
I made a catch tray for the dust using
a plastic candy box. It has a back and a
top on it. If I keep the dremel mounted to
the left of the arbor, it throws the dust
to the back of the tray and eliminates that
problem for me.G I believe Ron was going
to rig a vacuum dust catcher to Vee’s but
it really has not been a problem for me.
Good luck! Jim
Diane! Wear a mask. Be well.
Diane;
If I remember right you left the chat room one sunday morning to get an expresso!! Just a short walk down the street I think.
Also, I believe you will be camping at the Michigan Fish-In. I will do my best to find a camping friendly expresso machine!!
We will keep it away from any contamination!!
P.S. I have a generator if you want to show us how to do Dremel fly’s.
I feel more like I do now than I did when I got here!

Jack, …

Made excellent espresso 
, but no milk steamer, so capuccino was out

Jack, I’m making my own these days. I figured out that at the rate I consume lattes that the machine would pay for itself within a year or two. So far, I’ve saved enough to buy a nice rod and some good hackle.
I’ll bring along the dremel and some foam plugs and let people play with it all at the fish-in.
Sounds similar to my recent learning experience. I was running a magnet in my hand over the carpet under my flytying desk looking for any hooks I may have dropped. I found a size 16 dry fly hook when it buried in one of my finger tips past the barb and the bend of the hook. OUCH!!

Thats sounds like it really hurt. And you just know the ghost of some trout you killed was laughing it up.
The Dust of The Dremel Bug. There’s a book in there somewhere. Sounds like the hair of the dog. Or something else related to the mania you develop in flyfishing and tying.
I’ve been breathing the Fumes of The Stonefly. It’s not as good as the smell of espresso either. But it’s some kind of fuel for my needs right now.
flyangler… let’s write a book together. We can call it “The Dust of The Dremel Bug and the Fumes of the Stonefly: Tales of Intrepid Tyers”
Or maybe we should do it as a comic screenplay.
“I love the smell of Hard-As-Nails in the evening. It smells like… Victory”
i find the dust topping is quite good on shots of Jose Cuerva…well, maybe not the first shot, but certainly by the third!
Micus, I think you’re on to something here. I’ve got some left and I’ve been in the mood for a marguerita lately. I bet dremel dust would look great around the rim of the glass.
Hold the algae.
I’ll bring coffee to the Mich-FI. A nice can of Luzianne and a couple of pounds of SaoBraz. Do we have to make it cowboy style?
I learn more about the world while talking to myself when fishing alone
Diane;
How do you get these thread’s started? This one is a hoot!! I will contact Starbucks to see if they will set up a booth at the Fish-In!! With all the cookin’ and coffee makin’ when are we going to fish?
I feel more like I do now than I did when I got here!

Not that that bad compared to a post I once read about someone who dropped a bodkin in his lap while tying; and tried to catch it by slamming his thighs together- ouch,- nice save, though. (Wouldn’t want that to hit the floor or anything important…)I almost did it myself once- have to fess up…
After many years of working around metal shavings I allways make sure food and drinks are well clear of the work area snd/ or covered. Allso, if you work with tobacco chewers make sure its far away from their spit cup. Reaching blind for a sip and getting one of those will put you off your feed for the rest of the day
all leaders tangle; mine are just better at it than most. Jim
Jonezee, I love the smell of chicory in the morning…

Chris,
You sure do rough it when you go camping. No Cappacino, only expresso. Me I suffer with only a french press for regular coffee.
