    Tom's Spa/Shop

    My shop has the best lighting and tools. It is the best place in the house for bandaging and clipping toenails and we did a couple of Covid haircuts there in spring. A few lost clippings are not a problem. Today LOML backed onto a cactus! ouch. The spines are too small to see so we cleared the bench/operating table and got out the task lights, magnifier and tweezers. Unfortunately still too small to see. Fortunately a few applications of package tape did the trick. Worked on her pants too.

    If we had a "like" button, I would have hit it.

    No pictures, didn't happen. Just kidding! Sounds like a real pain in the rear.

    A glancing flame from a propane torch will take care of those spines real quick. Do it every few months as needed. I am surprised you can grow succulents in Michigan.

    .. don't forget a comb, and a pair of pliers. A set of hemostats also is good to have.
