The mailman brought my package containing wire, new hammer, and new bench block anvil, and leaned it up against the screen door such that I could not open the door to retreive the package. I had to go out through the garage and walk all the way around the house to get it.

Small blocks of steel that have been sitting at 20 degrees for hours and hours take a long time to warm up again.

I have wire, hammer, and anvil! Woo-hoo!
