That looks very British.

No nail, look up at the first post on this page.

I'm happy to see that I'm still a fast healer. I can count the number of times I've ever had a wound become infected on two fingers. Still slightly sore, but fully functioning. Really just tender when I press directly on the wound. My body makes up in healing what my brain lacks in intelligence.

When I build raised panel doors that are going to be painted (by the customer), I like to paint the edges of the panels before securing them in the frame. Otherwise when those panels shrink up a little bit in winter, you'll see some tiny edges of bare wood. This way the panels can expand and contract inside the frames without that happening. But it's all one solid oak panel.

The important thing is the doors are fine.

It's OK though, Trumps going to bring us forest management.

I'm working on making some raised panel doors. My landlord has a rental house somewhere north of Sacramento, and I guess he had some tenants that managed to break 5 solid oak cabinet doors. He couldn't find anyone who could make replacements in any sort of timely manner, when he asked me if I could make cabinet doors? Silly man! Anyway, I was putting the last frame together with glue and pocket screws, when the bit jumped out of the screw and decided to go all the way through my hand. I was applying pressure because of the hard oak. Maybe just a little too much! Luckily Al's cleaning woman, Toni was there. She cleaned the entry and exit wounds and bandaged me up. I was able to get right back to it. Just goes to show you that any tool can be dangerous in the hands of an idiot. Luckily it was the fleshy part, under the thumb.

We had the same 8 track. As a kid, I thought 'Hard to be Humble' was hilarious.

Helen had given most of her money to charity years ago. She lived in Australia in a small apartment, on a fixed income. She said she was the happiest she'd ever been. Glad you had some good years, RIP. RIP Mac Davis.

RIP Dan B

Happy Birthday Steve and Wayne! "the birthday fairy" I really take offense to this moniker. The b in Birthday should always be capitalized. I'm the Birthday fairy, not the birthday fairy!

Ric, I had meant to mention that I think you should give 'Kris Kristofferson The Austin Sessions' a listen, if you haven't already done so. As for me now... Junior Brown 'Guit With It'. Kind of retro country. Think Red Foley or Earnest Tubb, but with the picking abilities of Chet Atkins and Jimmy Hendricks bastard love child.

Sorry to hear that Tyler. Nothing is more frustrating than a piece of gear that just doesn't function right, especially when customer service is non existent. Hope the new DAC serves you well.

There is no way to say that and have it sound right.

I missed you Fitz! This place is definitely better with you in it!

Very flippin' cool! P.S. I would also be very interested in a solution for wrapping the probe without removing.

You have made so many awesome things, for me and in general. I can't imagine you talents not being used, so hu-rah! Also, wouldn't it be easier to install the replacement without your fingers crossed? Of course I fully admit to zero knowledge in this field.

The times that we've flown together have gone off without a hitch. I must be your lucky charm. In the future take me wherever you want to fly. Problem solved. You're welcome!

That movie was my introduction to James Caan. He hasn't disappointed much since.

Well, I guess trick or treaters will know who's house to egg. 😛

A little like a peanut butter and honey sandwich, without the 🍞.

I bought some rack rails for my Parasound Z rack I made, and found a Bit-O-Honey in there. Forgot how much I liked them. I haven't been much of a candy guy since my early twenties, but I really enjoyed it and the memories it unleashed.

Why do both of those bands remind me of something I'd see on Wacky Races, on Saturday mornings, as a child? NTTAWWT!

Have an incredible day!

It's the imaging that's the star of the show.
