    I hate to see this sort of thing happen to anyone. Even worse when it is someone you know. I feel sorry for you Chuck but sorry does not help much I know.
    Looks quite repairable but still not a nice thing to happen.
    I just came home from a very enjoyable run with my Drambuie to see this. Kind of takes the shine off my morning.

    Doc W if you read this that Swordie 300 works great. Tried it on 9s in the Drambuie this morning and it came back as cool as Douggie in a pair of shades. The anti spark gizmo I made works fine too.

The working on it part is one of the reasons why I have less model time as exercise takes time. Losing weight again and getting fitter by the week.
    My daughter is twice the woman I'll ever be .. as a teen her exercise regime took her on walks along the beach.. to the icecream place down the end, where she reckons she deserved a treat... was busted one day.. walked in our door with an icecream afterglo on her smile !
    At 24 she is addicted to diets.. has a new one every day, sometimes 2..... says they just dont seem to work ...

    Didya hear of the Alaska bloke whose car broke down ? He called the mechanic.. told to wait about an hr.. so went got a cold treat and walked back just when the mechanics van arrived. Bloke has a quick check, looks at the fellow..says 'looks like you've blown a seal' To which the fella said, nah.. just had an icecream'

    nite folks..I feel myself turning into a legume ...

    Place for really weird people is right. We have a guard that works for us that makes his own toy swords and costumes and dresses in them and takes pictures and puts them on Facebook. Sometimes I think Psych Tests should be mandatory for security guards but after careful consideration it leaves me wondering if I would have a job

    Ahhh.
    FedEx.. after Tom Hank's "Castaway" their global motto changed to <Absolutely, Positively, Eventually. The service you deserve>

    Sorta sums it up I think.

    Oh, okay.. I see ... this year's deliveries highlight the delays experienced with that packaging...

    I try to optimize bag contents per purchase .. but sometimes that loyalty is outweighed by courier fees.

    hahahahaha
