Didn't think so. Neither have I.

I got to call Bu!!$#!t on you Carl. Terrible thing to use on anyone. But I Know you are not serious about the Rohpnol.

Don't have any of those fancy torque multipliers. But I have a 10' pipe that I use for a cheater. Works well for adjusting road signs, Stop signs, and everything else I've put it up against. At the price of those bolts and nuts I think I'd buy Tap and die to chase the threads and hang on to them in case you want them latter on. With a drill, tap, and small bolt I can secure most any bolt so it will not back out. but that don't help you here.

Seems like it might be nice to have a place to praise help received, Not a place for advertisers, but a place where we can suggest help from people to venders, The only thing that seems reasonable that it is not used for self benefit, But a good place to shamelessly praise those we feel worthy. I'll start the list with; Tom Williams Billings Mt. He does Marantz. 3 year wait. He went clear through a 2500 that I bought DOA Tom seemed to go out of his way to accommodate me. And I'm quite happy with the results. I have nothing to compare the rebuilt receiver to though as this is the 1st one I've heard.

Don't matter if "I" like them or not. Those Guitar players are better then I could ever be. It appears that they are good enough to pay the bills. If at the end of the day they are Happy, That's what matters. Doing a Job that makes them happy is more then most folks can claim and be honest about it.

Time for a rerun Marty.

I have a couple of the 70's era Marantz receivers. Have given a couple more as gifts. As Marantz went though different ownerships it seems the quality has changed. I think most of the 70's gear is good. If your not opposed to the receivers I can recommend 2325, 2270, 2285B, and 2500.

The same way we always have. They are absolutely critical to our economy, and appreciated by half the population, and despised by the other half, who are clueless about how the economy works in today's world. Our schools are not suffering because of immigrants, they are suffering because very powerful reactionary forces that want to corporatize education. (See the Corinthian College fiasco.) I've pitched my beef about one of several sub-standard teachers. She was still teaching until retirement which meant she was teaching along with some other sub standard teachers when my kids were in school. I did go to the school and state to "teacher that I would not tolerate putting down my kids because of what we did for recreation (target shooting). And that if it continued I would go to the school board. End of issue. On the other hand I've had, and my kids had teachers that were very good at what they do. These good teachers resulted in more kids staying in school and getting an education. It's too bad that the poor teachers bring down the good teachers, the kids, and the school district in general. As for illegal migrates, There was a time when Migrate Farm were common. Legal citizens that picked the fruit. What a novel idea. I knew a Gentleman that grew up with a family that followed the crops. He grew up to be a hard working man and raised his family in the community that I grew up in. I dated his daughter, so I got to know him quite well.

Moi? Just a normal small town grade school kid. Don't remember how old. Same age as the other 4th grade kids. A made man? I'd think more of a smart @$$ then a wise guy.

I'd tell the kids on Xmas eve that I was going to get some venison for breakfast in the morning. Of course I would recant if any of the kids protested. Kids will figure it out on there own, but parental advise is usually a good thing. My kids were in grade school when my son attempted to intervene when an older boy was calling a neighbor "White Trash." Son said it was not the girls fault the way her parents were. He got of the bus and waited for the bully to get off. He decked the kid. The bus driver looked away as in "I see nothing". Proud of that young Man. When I was in 4th grade a teacher was cramming her beliefs on us kids. I was doing as Dad said when I told her that Dad said she was full of schit. She new better then to push it after that. Dad would have wiped the floor with her husband. Kids will believe fantasy as long as they want. But when they are old enough to ask, they deserve the TRUTH. We learned young not to lie to people. And not to spit on people.

Not really interested in what he did. Am interested in facilitating contact with him for anyone interested. Lord knows I have stuck my foot in it before myself. Have email address from those that have chosen to share with me. I guess it will get better. Used to have his phone #, but can't find any of my PM's to him. Info seems gone.

So he can not even read our attempts to contact him. Seems like he is not the only one with problems.

What in the world did you do? Regardless there is at least one here that does not want to loose contact with you. Moray said he wants contact with you. Willing to forward messages PM to Email etc. thetalisman@q,com

OMG. Going to ask mom where those uncut diamonds Granddad gave me are. He told me where he found them, but I don't remember. I do remember he said you could walk the area after a rain and pick them up. He didn't talk much about it but I don't remember it being in Arkansas. Been a long time ago and he is gone. I wonder where I could have them looked at, and not get ripped off if I had anything? He had a few that he had sent to Germany and had cut.

We have a Forum member in Iran. Nope, just your average wood butcher that likes making saw dust. how is the weather in Texas ,is it hot enough so you can you open the doors and vent the workshops - we are still in the deep freeze down here - I've had the AC on at the house the last couple days. Last night I was in the garage putting the driver in my latest project and had to keep stopping to wipe sweat off my forehead so it wouldn't drip on the box. I put a window AC into a fellow Nurse's bedroom window when it was over 100 degrees out. She was right there wiping the sweat off my forehead as I worked. Made a lot of difference when you don't have to wipe your own sweat.

I just hold my hand to my ear and shake my head to tell her "I can't Hear You". Knowing I've got to sleep sometime I do turn it down though.

Never heard of It.. But I have woke to loud explosions that sounded like it was right beside me. Plenty loud that it would have woke my wife. She did not hear a thing. Over the next few weeks I would hear loud crashes and explosive noises. Figured if my wife couldn't hear them then it must be All In My Head, roll over and go back to sleep.

Around $500 for new case. Nope. I was not aware of lifetime guarantee. $70 shipping both ways but looks like the way to go. Thanks All.

which is the better deal? Only His Wife knows for SURE.

Has anyone got any advice on welding Plastic. I have a Heat gun and about 3/8th adapter. Also have Large heating Irons. Thought I'd practice on a garbage can before I try to do my Pelican case.

I can still remember going on family vacations as a Kid for weeks at a time. We never locked anything. Doors unlocked, rifles hanging in the gun rack. Never worried about any of it back then. Now days my Buddy says he had serious concerns about me not packing when I went to visit. Says I'm just inviting trouble. Did a quick inventory of 22 and 17HMR ammo. Got more than enough. Not everybody in the good old days were honest. Grand Dad and Great Grand Dad were selling Shine back in the day. After the truck was loaded, one of the guys asked "Now Mr Poole. What would you do if we was to decide not to pay you?" Out of the dark came the sound of 2 hammers being cocked by my Grand Dad. The other gentleman said with some excitement "Mr Poole! We're gonna pay you! We was just wondering!"

I heard about putting alcohol in the mix in high school, So I added a touch of rum. All the Hummers but one avoided that Feeder except one. The one was very defensive of it's new found liquor. I have heard of them getting falling down drunk. err Falling off the perch, drunk.

We've had them here for a while. One day, years back I seen 2 white ones at the feeder. No camera. Sure were pretty. Pic's of white hummer dailypicksandflicks.com/...albino-hummingbird-in-virginia...

Have a lawn party. Women must wear heals. Provide lots of liqueur.
