C'mon, man. Accountability? What time-space continuum are you in, anyway?

Yup. Might be hackable into a funnycar body, but that's about it.

Days of Future Passed is the second studio album by English progressive rock band Moody Blues, released in November 1967, and is one of my all-time favorites.

It depends on what you want to make, what kind of cutters you have, and how familiar you are with machining. In my experience, most commonly available aluminum alloys are machinable. EDIT: I've seen a lot of people blame the material when they're running the lathe too slow, too fast, trying to take too-deep cuts, working with chipped cutting tools, etc.

I get occasional "attempted delivery at such-and-such-a-time" from UPS, FED EX, and USPS on things that need to be signed for. As I can have a grands worth of AN fittings come in, for example, in a smallish box, I can't afford to let it sit on the porch. What's weird is that they almost always happen when I'm at home...because tracking says there will be a delivery requiring a signature...to see in the flesh that nobody actually came to the house. I also usually leave a big printed sign on the door that says "UPS KNOCK LOUD" or something similar. I've been in business for decades, and don't recall delivery problems being as frequent as they are now. But wutchoo gunna doo? It bees wut it bees.

Ball bearings made in space may be rounder.

Laughed so hard I started choking once, I did; turned a nice blue too.

I'm almost finished with the year-end paperwork. It's been a hard slog, but just a couple more hours tonight and a couple in the morning and I'm done. Christmas with a clear conscience? Maybe some real bench time? Too good to be true.

Good man. Building a stash.

"Stranger things are in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy, Horatio old buddy" isn't exactly what Will Shakespeare wrote, but it gets the gist across.

Interesting thought...however, my local Hobby Town sells used HO scale model railroad stuff so cheap...like $8 for a nicely weathered Kadee-equipped freight car that would list for about $40 new...they must be buying collections for pennies. EDIT: And though I'm not certain, I THINK they specify "AS IS, NO RETURNS", which suits me just fine. I'll take a $30+ saving on the same piece of rolling stock and not whine if it's not perfect any day.

That's a point, but still, in an age when "Mustangs" and "Mavericks" look kinda like hippos on wheels...

Yeah, they did. Gorgeous car, everything absolutely right, every curve and line and volume perfect. Doesn't look like it was designed by a committee of people who didn't really like cars.

Forgot to look. I will later in the week. Promise.

"Neat" is the way I prefer my single malts.
