A quick web search turns up a few. I am curious how the terms originated. Irish potatoes. AKA spuds. The tool used to dig them up.I enjoy googling the origins of words and terms.The spud wrench is not how you adjust the potatos?!

If you're using a spud wrench to adjust potatoes, I'd be interested in a video.
Someone should come up with a software tool (won't be me) that graphs a forum thread and its various tangents, forks, and branches.It could make interesting wall art.
All I did today was drill a hole and machine a nut. However!! That was to fix a garden tool for T and the reward is priceless (along with a, and I quote, "Cool!".).(Mainly...she's beginning to realize my shop has benefits for her too. )
Still following along with interest Chris The work on this project seems endless
