Slow to reply, My Good Friend, but just a lot going on at THIS end too, I guess. I know the new job will work out for you. It takes a while to get up to speed whenever you start something new, so don't let that work on you at all. It'll all come together. How's it going at the new place, so far?

It's nice when problems are simple like that Because they're not always easy. But it sure is nice when they are, that's for sure.

You're likely right, and I'm likely wrong; it was a long time ago (and I don't brag about my memory). I was in uniform so long ago that the training was in "ABC" warfare, before the whole change to "NBC" rolled around. ABC was an acronym for Atomic/ Biological/ Chemical. Printing it out...

A good Marine supply store (like www.westmarine.com) often has some similar hardware that might serve you there.

Don't know the best way to clean up the discoloration, but isolating the dissimilar metals with neoprene or nylon washers will prevent any galvanic action (you don't want the dissimilar metals making any contact with one another). Painting the sides of the drilled hole in the aluminum (hobby...

No kidding, HanksDeuce, that is VERY slick. That's a nice installation you got going there. A+

I'm thinking "Nuclear/ Bacteriological/ Chemical" when you say NBC (just old school acronyms from back in the day). But that's not what you're meaning here, is it?

Momma is a hoot! Please let her know she has her own fan club here at SS. :beer:

I'm going to tell you, that sound and the sight of those righteous aircraft made you feel like the Grinch on Christmas morning: - I mean your heart just grows 10 sizes bigger all at once!!! And it feels like pure majesty or something. Oh, it's great! Those birds are so beautiful in flight. :tank:

I wouldn't mind having a SS bumper sticker (or magnetic square or something) to put on my vehicles. Do any of you all know if there's an SS vendor selling anything like that?

Oh, yeah, THAT is a big improvement; nice work. [thumbzup]

Seems reasonable. Nothing bad about that.

Oh, Man, THAT'S the one; I remember the tail!!! She came in at like 300 foot of altitude (well, probably more but it FELT like 300). I didn't cry but I couldn't help myself from letting out a gut-solid rip-roaring Rebel Yell! She flew over, and it just came out of me! What a treat. I count...

Was the cost decent?

I have no doubt that Tinwoodsman would assemble a qualified team of specialists to join him for the precision undertaking: https://youtu.be/VDYautIQaEU

It's too bad there isn't some kind of International Machinists Code that dictates all LH threaded hardware be stamped full of "L"'s or something (or even made illegal!): - The amount of misery in the world because of them is d*** near cruel (though the Gods get their laugh).

Fifi?

No kidding. I got a laugh also. :goodjob:

Agreed absolutely: - We had a WWII Commemorative Fly-over here in D.C. earlier this Summer. - And in that fly-over was a squadron of 4 P-51's - The sound and the SPEED of those 4 was without comparison to all the other fighters that day. But those were the Fighters. A low-flying B-17 and a...

No kidding, TWM, your shop is SO clean, it looks like you're working in a Clean Room or a Hospital Operating Room or something. Got to start calling you Doctor "T".
