minermark Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Looking good, like new, you have apparently done a little body work and painting before. @17 years old dad had a small hobby shop in costamesa / newport area, 1200sq ft. I had a water bed in the office, was surfing five days a week, but when not at home on Lido Isle, i was cranking Hendrix @400Wpc in an industrial area, where i Flared Fenders on Corvetts, master Tool and Die, Fiberglass @ age 17. learned the trade by working at boat companys, pretty soon i was the guy they called for mold repair, and named my price. Acetone is my life blood, there is nothing i cannot do or replicate. Now, i just play with a little Bondo now and again. Some of my mold handy work was everything from Batt charger covers to the mad hatter at Disneyland. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 A new toy we received at work, dtel speaking of getting high. How about 180' in a aerial work platform. I didn't know those things went that high, or anything close to that, you need to take a ride. I would post a video but I can only make it to about 100-110' then I chicken out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minermark Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 (edited) Looking good, like new, you have apparently done a little body work and painting before. You just brought back yet another memory from years past, McGreggor boat company, (First real job@14) $1.65 per hour, and i had money, pocket change, but you could live on it.

Don't blame you, at one time I climbed towers much higher than any lift can go doing electrical work, now I think my knees would be shaking to much. As I got older I realized how much I don't like pain or dyeing, strange how old age makes you think, I didn't care when I was young. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minermark Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Ok folks we're getting the band back together for one night and one night only. A new toy we received at work, dtel speaking of getting high. How about 180' in a aerial work platform. Ok for some not so cable talk but tube talk. I decided to hook the turntable back up. Found out I had the tubes swapped around. But now back to vinyl playing. One of my ongoing life hobbys has been CCTV, iv rented some things in the last 30+ years that no one would go up on. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators dtel Posted December 20, 2014 Moderators Share Posted December 20, 2014 I have about one shot left I guess, the bottle is so dark you can't tell, I see what you run out. I need to check our local rite aid. With the bottle being so dark I want to etch something on the glass when it's empty, I just need to figure out a design but it should look good on a really dark glass, I guess ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhetor Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 On the third cup of some generic hazelnut carmel stuff. Going to make a 120 mile round trip through Atlanta today to my "local" service tech. My beloved dirt cheap CL find from a couple of years ago, a Pioneer SX-9000, dropped the left channel in July and then the right channel in September. It is time to get it serviced (it has never been serviced before) and show it some love. I hear this will be the biggest shopping day of the year--Super Saturday. Oh boy . . . road rage! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators dtel Posted December 20, 2014 Moderators Share Posted December 20, 2014 Ok folks we're getting the band back together for one night and one night only. Elwood: It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses. Jake: Hit it. Jake: We're putting the band back together. Mr. Fabulous: Forget it. No way. Elwood: We're on a mission from God. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckAb3 Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 I really missed a lot of good stuff from you guys yesterday afternoon and evening. Please consider all of it as getting a 'like' from me. Got tied up working most of the time. May have to face the madding crowd today and shop some more. If any of you are skiers or wanna be, it's a good time to take it to Colorado. Our central mountains are getting 1 to 2 feet of powder. Pretty incredible stuff. As usual, Denver metro gets off easy. Tarheel ... did LF make it back yet? Have a great day guys. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarheel Posted December 20, 2014 Author Share Posted December 20, 2014 Yep Chuck she got up at 2:00 am to drive to the airport, catch her flight at 3:30 and a layover in Charlotte. Picked her up at 9:00 chatted a bit, walked Jake, and tucked her in for a nap. She was delighted with the flowers and decorations and I am pleased she is here for a few days. Maybe a late lunch around 2:00 and then see what the afternoon brings Hope everyone has a great weekend! Cheers Gents 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
