  1. I'm sure glad I don't belong to Face-book.
  2. Nice build, smooth finish.
  3. I recently finished this one:
  4. I remember seeing that movie in the theater when I was a kid. The chase scene had you stepping on an imaginary brake pedal. It's still an awesome chase scene and a good movie overall. I have my own copy on DVD.
  5. Well, when I lived on LI there used to be NY National Speedway in Center Moriches. I know since I've been gone there was a Long Island Dragway built. Is that gone too now? And now NJ has lost Englishtown? That sucks too. I'm sure glad I don't live there anymore.
  6. Well, it was a few days ago. I found out that I was NOT going to get laid off my job as last Feb. I was told I might get laid off by this Aug.
  7. Sorry to hear that. I saw him at a lecture in college back in '75.
  8. https://www.amazon.com/SUPER-DEAL-Light-Magnifying-Magnifier/dp/B07BF8Q2ZG/ref=pd_ybh_a_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=R5SQ713TM90361SNG8NT
  9. The lens is big and clear. No distortion in it. It's a glass lens too.
  10. I just got it from Amazon, you can also find it on Ebay. It uses LEDs and has a big lens that is 7.5" x 6.2". It's a 5 diopter (2.25 magnification). I replaced a round 5" florescent magnifier (same magnification) light that was a little shaky whenever I put it into position. This new one is rock steady. It has variable brightness too. It uses 9 Watts and is 680 lumens. The "buttons" on top are touch sensitive. In fact they will work when your finger is about 1/8" over them. Anyway, here's some photos.
  11. Sounds like a great tip! I've been using a hair dryer to free up the stuck lids, this way I don't have to grab and dent the lids with a pliers.
  12. Sure looks great!
  13. Beautiful work and nice display!
  14. Me too.
  15. Where are we going to get CF decals from then? I mean there are other suppliers of PE goodies but I've never seen CF decals by anyone else.
  16. Same here!
  17. Really nice, clean build.
  18. I was living on L.I., N.Y. working at Grumman when that happened.
  19. Did he get the correct answer?
  20. All I miss are the knishes. Forget the rest. I had an uncle that had a Kosher deli there for around 20 years or so.
  21. I'm sure glad I don't live there any more.
  22. I was just visiting my parents in Delray Beach, FL last week. My Dad and I wanted to visit hobby shops, shops we'd been to before plus another one I had found. Well that was four shops I had in mind. Well, three of them were gone. One in W.Palm Beach was still in business. It was mainly an RC shop which is fine too. But I just couldn't believe how those other shops were gone.
  23. And just remember. You Can't Fix Stupid.
