 hour and a few km to our route, so it’s a good thing our driver / photo guide spotted us as he was driving back to the main road. I didn’t see him, but Mr. GeoK talked to him for a few minutes and confirmed that we were supposed to down to the canyon floor via the roped section. If we’d known that in advance we would have opted for a different route or different trail from the start!
Anyhow, we carried on as the rain came down, working our way across a big field of lava that included a couple of broad valleys.
We trekked about 4 km in 1.5 hours before we finally had another view down into the canyon.
Because we didn’t descend to the canyon bottom, we missed any close-up look at Hafragilsfoss, another sizeable waterfall along the Jökulsá á Fjöllum, the second longest river in Iceland (206 km). The best we could do was a look back up the canyon.
From the trail at the top of the canyon we spotted several smaller waterfalls and enjoyed the play of sunlight and shadow on the canyon walls. Strange arrangements of basalt columns resulting from a volcanic eruption eight thousand years ago also captured our attention.
Mr. GeoK and I were lagging quite far behind C & K as we trekked along above Réttarfoss. We tried hard, but I don’t think we were successful in making a photograph of Réttarfoss that properly conveys its size.
As we stowed our tripods, the boys called back to us via walkie-talkie that they’d just spotted our driver / photo guide at a small parking lot along the trail. It wasn’t the Hljóðaklettar parking lot (which was another 6 or 7 km along the trail), but it was a good call on the part of our driver / photo guide to try to intercept us here, since it was already 3:30 pm and we had a few other stops planned for that day.
Based on photos I’ve seen and reading I’ve done since we’ve returned home to Canada, it’s probably worth making a return visit to Jökulsárgljúfur Canyon if/when we go back to Iceland, mainly to hike along the east side of the canyon for a different perspective on the many waterfalls along the river.

A jury unanimously found Smith guilty of murder in the second degree in a case that grabbed national attention after Smith lured Robie into a wooded area near the young boy’s home.Re: The fine ones aren't too bad...
I have seen a lot of different planes at hand tool events sharpened with 16000 Shapton stones. All produced less than stellar surfaces. Perhaps there was something not proper about the way the stones were used.
Years ago someone on this forum advocated a test for sharpness. Bill Tindall said his tools failed the test, but it likely did not matter because that level of sharpness would be gone in ten feet (other times he has mentioned four feet). He dared others to prove him wrong.
I tried this and using the test, it seemed that my iron was sharper at 48 feet than his was at zero feet. That if I planed a set of drawer fronts just prior to finishing the whole operation would be done with sharper iron than he could produce.
or water stones or oil stones, a skillful worker will get more out of his stones.

Re: Edge chipping, again.
The fine ones aren't too bad...Boilers can go from good, to bad, to failure, in very short order where maintenance procedures are lax or non-existing. On the other hand, properly maintained boilers regularly last more than 25 years.
But even with the best maintenance, boilers will wear out and require replacement or refurbishment numerous times throughout the life of a building. These are infrequent, but expensive, events and should be budgeted for. Facility managers should have systems in place that allow them the luxury of planning ahead instead of having to react to unexpected sudden failures.Review of The Sweetest Thing
The Sweetest Thing, or as I like to call it, "The Crudest Thing," is by no means subtle. For the most part, sexual innuendo is nonexistent the movie flaunts the subject of oral sex with little inhibition, and has its fair share of shock-value, gross-out antics.
Here are just a few of the comments I overhead while exiting the screening: "I swear there was no story, but I didn't care"; "That was the foulest"; "An amusing titty-fest"; "Good lord, is Christina Applegate hot, or what?"; "I'm just glad I didn't pay for it!" But I think this quote captured my feelings about the picture most perfectly: "It was awful, but it was funny."
The movie stars Cameron Diaz as Christina, Christina Applegate as Courtney, and Selma Blair as Jane, with supporting performances by Cameron Diaz's butt, Christina Applegate's breasts and Selma Blair's tongue. Really, the aforementioned supporting cast is prominently featured. The movie begins with Diaz shaking her almost non-existent butt on the streets of San Francisco, and into a dance club. Applegate, while in the ladies room at the same club, invites a female admirer of her breasts to go ahead and touch them ("It's OK. They're fake," she says), which sets off a fondling frenzy. And Blair, well, as she tells Rolling Stone magazine, "I become a hellion in the sex department."
Taking a backseat to the T&A, there's also a plot. Here's the setup: Christina, Courtney and Jane are roommates. One afternoon, Christina and Courtney come home to find Jane distraught because her boyfriend just broke up with her. They console Jane with a confidence-boosting pep-talk, emphasizing that she should live for today get out there and get some action. So Christina and Courtney haul Jane over to their favorite dance club
