Not sure what others have been up to, but Ive been out shopping for a new throne for my castle.![]()
Currently restoring a 1940s ranch home with hardwood everything, including a hardwood paneled garage. Not really HSM related, other than it means I can finally collect the remained (majority) of my tools from back east, including my lathe, and setup shop again.
"I am, and ever will be, a white-socks, pocket-protector, nerdy engineer -- born under the second law of thermodynamics, steeped in the steam tables, in love with free-body diagrams, transformed by Laplace, and propelled by compressible flow."
Working in the shop. Only had to solder on the rear sight 3 times.![]()
garage door hinge broke and opener was bouncing door--replaced with a new hinge and now OK.
sigh,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, i been busy the past hour mending the old girls bloomers!![]()

My old watchdog & good friend is dying. He is old & has a large tumor on his neck which he tore open got infected & almost killed him. He's having surgery Tues & I think he'll make it as he's the Meanest Old B*stard I've ever seen. I called 2 vet's & took him to the I think is the best. It amazing, they want to run a bunch of test about $300 to see if he can have surgery & if not put him down. I said no, we'll do the surgery & if he makes it we can run the test then to keep him going. Like all medicine it's a money game. Please think good thoughts about Buster on Tues. Can't believe how emotional I got about him. I love that old dog.
Got my computer back & it's running great! Found a great deal on a car for my wife & she got it today. Then waited in Kalamazoo for a guy to buy 2 carts he told me $80 for both. Called him after getting home from the vet,went to Kalamazoo waited 2 hrs on him as he wouldn't answer the phone. Finally he answers & says he knows he said $80 but now he want $100. P*ssed me off royally after he e-mailed last night(his price $80) & I confirmed it before waiting. What happened to "a man's only as good as his word:? He'll get his. Thing is I'd have paid $100 but not now. I'll find him & show him what a 4 legged cane with a welding magnet on the bottom feels like up close & personal. This isn't over.
Then bought an ultralight in my wifrs hometown of Livinston Tn. & a Prazi lathe/mill near Chicago.
Anyway glad to sit down with a cup of coffee & check the forum.

Hi,
It's EMS week. Just got home from doing an open house for the ambulance service in town. Grilled hotdogs and hamburgers for the community and I gave a couple presentations. I don't think I've been home since last Monday. And I won't be home much til next week.
