Blog Blogger: HORNY SPANISH FLIES began telling her the details of my craft. I was finishing my explanation of the process of copper flash plating, and had started telling her about the chemistry of the gold plating bath when it dawned on me that I was probably boring her to death.

If I didn't do something quickly, she'd thank me for the walk and leave. I looked at her and managed a chuckle of apology.
