I thought about that a LONGGG time. And this is my hypothesis: It had
been a hot, Houston and sweaty type of day. You had the doors open and
the front came through. It got cold(er) and you, Leon, closed the doors,
but both you and Karl were so sweaty that you instantly caused the
ambient (absolute) humidity to increase beyond the dewpoint at the
"iron" as you called it. Of course the effects of beverages consumed is
unknown to me ...


Except of course, it was morning and a warm foggy front, after a cold
night. LOL

As soon as you both get to Fair Lawn, I'll treat you to a few in the
Dutch Househttp://www.dutchhousetavern.com/. Alternatively, I'll
treat you as soon as I get to Houston ...


You're on ... you know how to find us. And bring Marlow with you, the
boy needs some "scientifically" prepared food and beverage.



Nooo LOL It was late afternoon, we were finishing up for the day.

Claire came up with some likely thoughts.

But here is what I noticed. Late afternoon, warm day and humid. We
were finishing up and I was getting ready to leave when the front
started blowing in. You IIRC were still working in the vicinity of the
TS I think on the work bench behind the TS. The BS near the door was
the first Item that I noticed getting wet as I was leaving. IIRC the
jointer was getting the condensation too. Remember also that you shop
points south so a north wind would be slow to penetrate the interior.
So I am thinking the front cooled the machines closest to the garage
door first and the warm a humid air in the shop condensed on the cooled
surfaces. IIRC you told me not to worry with drying all the equipment
surfaces and that you would stay and deal with them. You mentioned
later that eventually all the cast iron surfaces got wet.

I can easily understand how you would not remember if this was a
constant problem you had to deal with.
