cetoole Posted September 11, 2009 Report Posted September 11, 2009 Couple mile run followed by couple hundred miles in the car.
Dusty Chalk Posted September 11, 2009 Report Posted September 11, 2009 Couple mile run followed by couple hundred miles in the car.So, kinda like a triathalon, except different, but still just as trying/tiring?
cetoole Posted September 11, 2009 Report Posted September 11, 2009 So, kinda like a triathalon, except different, but still just as trying/tiring? Yeah, except I wasn't driving so was able to sleep part of it. Lazy mans triatholon.
MexicanDragon Posted September 11, 2009 Report Posted September 11, 2009 I got a new car for a few days. I had to explain to my almost-4-year-old that "daddy rented the car, like we rent the movies out of the box. I take it for a few days and then take it back". "Oh!" Then I went to go pick up some dude and then we drove some more. Almost ran out of gas, didn't find the governor on the car yet (maybe in a few days), drank a lot of energy drinks. Wait... it's 5am... too many energy drinks. **BRENT**
swt61 Posted September 11, 2009 Report Posted September 11, 2009 I'm hoping to log some time on it this week so pics may be coming sooner rather than later for once. Yoo hoo, it's now sooner-thirty!
n_maher Posted September 11, 2009 Report Posted September 11, 2009 Yoo hoo, it's now sooner-thirty! Heh - didn't get home till 9:30 last night so it's a safe bet I didn't get anything done yesterday. Two coats are on the cups, a few more to go before I'm happy. I'm trying to make damn sure this time that I give each enough time to dry. My hope is to get a coat on tonight, maybe I'll shoot a couple pics then.
morphsci Posted September 11, 2009 Report Posted September 11, 2009 Drove to airport, waited for plane that was late, flew, missed connecting flight, waited and drank at airport, flew some more, drove a little more, stayed up way to late drinking and talking. Why am I up now?
Aimless1 Posted September 11, 2009 Report Posted September 11, 2009 That's where I'm at right now. Thank GOD for scotch on a Friday night!
Wmcmanus Posted September 13, 2009 Report Posted September 13, 2009 Hung out with a bunch of drunken redneck geeks in Kure Beach, NC.

CarlSeibert Posted September 13, 2009 Report Posted September 13, 2009 Don't know why I haven't noticed this thread before. Listened to some records I bought at Radio Active. Went bicycling. Some sort-of-rude person sucked my wheel for a solid five miles without saying a word. Which is kind of weird. First off, worms go faster than I do. Secondly, as a perennial weak person, I've found beneficial to be polite and express major gratitude for any wheel dumb luck allows me to get a grip on. The person is less likely to get annoyed and drop me like a bad habit.
Fitz Posted September 13, 2009 Report Posted September 13, 2009 Woke up hungover, hung out with a bunch of headphone geeks all day, now back to sampling the fine liquid refreshment here.

swt61 Posted September 14, 2009 Report Posted September 14, 2009 Very nice Nate. I love how the growth rings darken toward the bottom. Good choice of stock!
n_maher Posted September 14, 2009 Report Posted September 14, 2009 Very nice Nate. I love how the growth rings darken toward the bottom. Good choice of stock! Thanks Steve, I wish I could say it was an intentionally choice but it was just one of those happy little coincidences that happen when working with wood. I do have a couple cool blanks left to turn over the coming months but right now I'm just working my way through a bunch of stuff that Ian and I turned ages ago and abandoned because drilling the cups was driving us crazy. These cups had literally been in a box since I don't know when, maybe as long as two years ago. There are hopefully two more sets that are salvageable, one of which I started reworking last week and will sink a little time into this week too. Needless to say the addition of the chuck and soft jaws was a gold thing.
CarlSeibert Posted September 14, 2009 Report Posted September 14, 2009 What did you finish them with?
Duggeh Posted September 14, 2009 Report Posted September 14, 2009 Woke up hungover, hung out with a bunch of headphone geeks all day, now back to sampling the fine liquid refreshment here. Indeed If wood meanz moar of this then moar of this plz.
n_maher Posted September 14, 2009 Report Posted September 14, 2009 What did you finish them with? Semi-gloss spray lacquer. 5 coats, sand/buff in between each coat with #0000 steel wool as taught by Dr. Wood.
grawk Posted September 14, 2009 Report Posted September 14, 2009 yesterday, I woke up, and packed my vehicle like the Griswalds from National Lampoon's Vacation. I walked next door, and said my goodbyes to some very good people, plus Brent. Then we stuffed random kids into random vehicles, and went to eat some ice cream with analog pete and his great family. Then we sorted kids, made sure they were all in the right vehicles, and drove all freaking day.
