Outside The Comfort Zone

I always see these inspirational quotes on many of the blogs I follow which say that you should always or often be outside your comfort zone in your life's pursuits.

Well last week I definitely did that when I took a MIG welding class with Ethan. One might ask, "What's the big deal?" and I would reply that it's super freaky to melt steel with a electric current that would kill you if something went wrong.

 The set-up.

 Venting for the gas that's released during the weld.

 My palms were sweaty, Ethan had a blast.

Ethan's super respectable weld in the center surrounded by some really bad welds on the outside. It's kind of tricky -you can't see a thing while you're welding.
