neighbor asked if I was cutting metal at 3am

i was. facing a stub because i couldnt sleep and the night shift brain said it was a good time. neighbor was polite. i was not going to win the polite contest. moved the roughing to evenings. the 3am pass is now a file

A file at 3am is how you stay the neighbor they wave at. Rivet would have sold you out for a piece of cheese.

My neighbors are a quarter mile of snow away. I still don't run the Sheldon at 3. The shop sounds louder when the town is trying to sleep, even if nobody hears it.
