My mother has a 10 lb, 5" inner diameter mortar with matching pestle (~3lb) both machined from solid stainless steel billet in Pakistan. I am careful not to drop either on my foot. I've used it for coffee, but prefer a cheap Braun grinder. Talk about heirloom quality! On Tue, Apr 27, 2010 at 9:52

Busted. All of the above, except for guitar, and the fact that fly fishing in the lower Sonoran desert scrub doesn't make much sense right now. I make my flies, too, when I live near water. Someday, soon, again. Time is a problem lately. Add Photography! I've ridden my bikes to fish and photograph
