Could light relief be called "dark?" Keep up the stories.

I have a Colchester Triumph and the tailstock clamp kept coming loose. I put a stack of washers under the clamp and found the optimum position then ground a washer to the correct thickness and solved the problem. A stack of washers has too much slack in it and kept working loose.

Don't know, might be ham handed. Just gleefully cash the check.

FIL had a roof done and the Guy carried 2 bundles of shingles up the ladder at a time.

FIL gave Us an acre of farm land. Me and the Wife hauled everything that is out here except 4 things. All the gravel, sand, 2x4's, plywood, shingles,nails all but the furnace which is never used, the well, the roof trusses and cement used for the floors. We moved in in early October and it frosted that night. I could look down from the bed and see every corner of the house, no interior walls, no ceilings The only sink was in the basement. Wife went into town to do laundry. I paid a Guy to frame up the house and I did all the rest. Had a sparky wire half the house and I learned and did the rest. Never had a mortgage hardly ever in hock. Bought blocks and materials early and stored Them in Fil's barn. Handled all the blocks 3 times.Scrimped and saved all My life,26 years on the truck that was just scrapped. I can afford a few work shop toys now and for about 5 years I worked a full time job and came home and made the machines earn their keep.

World needs more 'Stralians and Scots. On Our side naturally.

Daughter is learning to drive a semi-HGV. She is already a yard jockey, backs up 30-40 trailers a day.

Welding Supply Store caught fire in Columbus Ohio around 30-40 years ago. Some cylinders were heated up till They exploded, one went 15 miles, The newspaper clipping was hung on the wall by the door.

Living "across the pond" I have not heard of Anyone using this calamity as an excuse for buying any more ammo. We don't need an excuse, I think Everyone is busy standing in line to get bog roll.

If You buy new and do not inspect, You might not get what You expect. Sorry I'll get Me coat

He's worth too much money and a good friend.

TV here said it was traced to Someone ate bat soup that had some bat pee in it. Wifey had to go to Doctors for a routine shot, ALL the Nurses were out sick with the flu, the Doctor had to beg and borrow Nurses from other Doctor's offices to stay open.

Might try a draw reamer the next time, or doing it in the lathe which has the needed length. Don't know how accurate it would end up.

It takes around an hour of buffing to get the ridge out. Will try a D bit next time He orders.

I have a job that comes up every year or two for a Customer. He needs a 1/2" hole 10"-12" deep in Aluminum. He wants no mismatch in the middle. I get a thousand or two when drilling from both ends. He notices it and does not like it, even for His application it does not hurt anything.

Would a "D" bit stay straight over that length?

Withdrawing very frequently would slow things down a lot.

Could I drill a 1/32nd or 1/64 of an inch smaller from both ends and expect the "D" bit to straighten out the hole?

Highest quality work since Monday afternoon.

FIL used to run a W+S #2, facing out keeps the hot chips from finding You.

A friend was in the National Guard over here. A self propelled Artillery piece had a runaway. The guy was working around it and had nothing to stuff the intake with, so He used His chest. Don't remember if He made it or not.

At work is real easy, We had a machine named similar to"Best Metal Lathe Company." My password was Best metal lathe Co. operator. I could assess it by looking across the aisle.

I have not seen this mentioned but I will bring this up. If You'all are taking lisinopril and develop a cough or choking reflex, the drug is known for causing this. For Me it was eating slightly dry food, such as dry chicken. It made spectacular coughing episodes especially when in public, naturally. A woman in a restaurant clued Me in on this as She recognized the cough. Google " lisinopril cough" if needed. I quit taking it and the cough went away.
