Come on Justin...where did you go to school?? ;)


Actually, the question was "who do I need to get in touch with?"

The answer "me" was an abbreviated version of "you need to get in touch with me."

It's an object. Using "I" there would be incorrect. Where did YOU go to school? :P

Anybody got one of those cylindrical concrete packing weights handy? I think Scotty B took mine and hid it somewhere, I can't imagine why...
-B



Not sure why he would do that. Kinda afraid to ask. But if you say nice things about me, I might just make a few and bring them down. Have all the required stuff here at work and have made a bunch for another DZ. But if fly down, you are SOL baby.
50 donations so far. Give it a try.

haha it involves Lurch's so called mechanical abilities and a bite switch Scotty was having problems with. I dont think Lurch will be asked to help "fix" something for a long time :D

Oh shit, I forgot about that. The look on Scotty's face when he saw what Lurch was doing was hilarious. :o:D

Oooops, sorry Scotty. It was only mildly entertaining.:)

Figures... 10 years of troubleshooting everything from cars to robotics to the fuel truck at home.
I'm a Rofin-Baasel trained industrial laser tech... given about $400,000 for the exotic hardware necessary I could build you an honest-to-god real, functioning 3 kilowatt q-switched diode-pumped solid state Nd:YAG pulse laser built as a semiportable shoulder fired laser cannon that'd punch an .005" hole through damn near anything if you hold it still long enough, and start the evening's bonfire from 200 yards away. Sci-fi shit like that can actually be built with creative mix-n-match of off the shelf industrial hardware and old computer parts now via incredibly unauthorized assembly of highly evolved technologies originally developed for the mass production manufacturing of consumer products. I think up shit like this for a living.
I know a trick that'd allow me to resurrect the engine in a jeep that just threw a rod through the side of the block 200 miles from anywhere with a carefully shaped hunk of wood sledgehammered in where the cylinder used to be. It'd take about 20 hours to pull it off and it'd run like shit, but it'd run.
I managed to get a vehicle home once after breaking a leaf spring and collapsing the suspension... with a piece of clothesline. It wasn't legal. Or safe. But it moved.
I've put together my own camera helmet.
My own transmission and suspension hacks.
I had an in-car mp3 player made out of pc parts and an old Sega Game Gear 4 years before you could buy one at Circuit City.
And nobody's ever gonna remember any of that shit.
No.... What they'll remember is me, wielding a chunk of concrete due to a misunderstanding involving my suggestion about how to feel better and vent some frustration about that bite switch.
(sigh)
I'm going to go live in Greenland as far away from manufactured things as I can get for the next 40 years till theres nobody left alive who remembers this...

I think Jeff Foxworthy could use this as new material, because "You might be a RedNeck" :D

That being said, could you help me change the time on my VCR? It always blinking "12:00-12:00-12:00" is driving me nuts. But could you leave the concrete at home?:o:ph34r:

Ok, but to do this in the proper spirit of northeastern backwoods industrial redneck technique you'll need a strip of electrical tape, a pair of scissors, the assistance of a curious 5-year-old child, and it'll probably void the warranty. Are you sure you want to do this?

Please provide information for travel and accommodation to the dz:
- What is the nearest international airport.
- Hotels and places to stay.



From SA, try Los Angeles International. Ontario is closer but I'm not sure they get direct international flights. There are plenty of hotels nears the DZ to stay at as well. Search hotels under Lake Elsinore. Lastly, make sure your invited before you spend the cash. :)

Is anyone showing up at Elsinore this Friday (May 23) to get things started early? Eike is probably going to be there and I was thinking about taking the day off of work. But I'd like to know if there will be enough "early birds" to make it worth my while.

Thanks,

Brian
