Is it fixed? OT

What ever happened to don't ask & don't tell, and wouldn't ruffles get caught on the machines? ;-)

In case he does, I saw a list of the ten worst Christmas gifts a few years ago the Tech TV channel. This was one of their picks:

Welcome back. :)

Here's an arcane topic for you. Follow up from last year. Did you ever make the Dutch almond paste confections?

Maybe we should have him machine up a nice condom for the VP's daughter's boyfriend. Y'know, a Chinese Torture kinda thing.

Glad to see you back. (Even though you are showing up only as text quoted by someone else -- I was off usenet yesterday as my news server moved to a new set of hardware, and I apparently miss-guessed the number of articles to set things back. :-)

I have!

Indeed so.

Enjoy, DoN.

He's also the guy who knows more about gold recovery and refining on a big scale than almost anyone alive. (But that's another group.)

I know who he is. As Foghorn Leghorn would say, "It's a joke, son. A joke, I say!" ;-)

I'm also glad to see that you've made it back Harold, and I hope that the shop construction has been going well.

WB ......... metalworking projects

Thanks for the warm welcome, Bill.

It's the house that we've been working on. Shop got completed some time ago. (Where does one find a woman that is so understanding that she thinks the shop should come first?)

We're making progress, but it's hard to measure. I figure another year and it should be finished. It's hell building a house without help, especially when you're an old codger like I am.

How's things with you, Bill? I think of you daily, as I use my converted Maglite (LED). Sure made a nice improvement. Thanks again!

Harold

Welcome back Harold (and Susan) - your posts have always been gems of information and technique. You just might be able to increase the metal/politics ratio.....

Thanks for the warm welcome, Andrew.

Not sure about increasing the ratio----I've already disclosed about everything I know! :-)
