Keep it going for you guys. Let's keep the politics limited this time.

A young woman visits her parents and brings her fiancée to meet them. After an elaborate dinner, the mother tells her husband to find out about the young man.

The father invites the fiancée to his library for a drink. "So what are your plans?" the father asks the young man.

"I am a Torah scholar," he says. "A Torah scholar? Hmmm," the father says.

"Admirable, but what will you do to provide a nice house for my daughter to live in, as she is accustomed to?"

"I will study," the young man said, "and God will provide for us."

"And how will you buy her a beautiful engagement ring, such as she deserves?" asks the father.

"I will concentrate on my studies," the young man replies. "God will provide for us."

"And children?" asks the father. "How will you support children?"

"Don't worry, sir, God will provide," replies the fiancée.

The conversation continues like this, and each time the father questions, the young idealist insist that God will provide.

Later, the mother asks: "How did it go, Honey?"

The father answers: "He has no job and no plans, but the good news is he thinks I'm God."

Girls just wanna have fun. They dont really get their groove on sitting around listening to Stoner Music. So if you want to get them to come to the club, you gotta play music they can dance to. And if you want to go home with the hotties, you have to dance with them! And when you sit them down and buy them a drink, you let them talk about themselves; they dont wanna be hearing about your handtools.

It is Science 101.

Wildwood, I have neve heard of or seen a Pine Marten- very cool

Pottz +1 on Bay City rollers - but the rest is cool, also I am punting on Mono coat, ordered Gen finish satin. Will try Mono coat on end tables that need refinish *************** go screwed up some how.

I had a "Vernal pool" in Katonah. I put some Koi in it (had a blue one) Racoons and Blue Heron got them all.

Wildwood - I whish I knew all of that when I was 20.

So the pinion gear assemblies arrived yesterday and I am realizing that the extent of the rework is going to be far greater than I anticipated.
I need to relocate the THK rails and the rack gear in order to mount the pinion assembly correctly. This will be a LOT of work, Almost as much work as digging the CNC machine out from under all the junk that has accumulated on and around it over the last several years that it has sat dormant.

When I first brought the machine to life, I was disappointed with the performance of my home made pinion assembly. There was far too much backlash and the rapid feed would sometimes skip a tooth if the torque was too high. Even though I reworked the tensioner several times, I never got it fully worked out. The Y axis was just as bad with the backlash and this will need to be addressed a little more down the road.

The reduction gear should solve the tooth skipping issue, just It will be a lot of work to get the stuff repositioned correctly.

Now, to clean out the garage again…. sigh.

Also, just a note: work is booked out to the end of April already and I've been working six 10's to keep up.

Checking in here is fun, but it is pretty far down on the list, you know. (No offense intended to anyone)
Most days, getting fed and enough sleep seems challenge enough.

I do enjoy woodworking and CNC woodworking is particularly rewarding as there is quite a bit of unique things we get to produce.

I also try to not take too many things seriously.
Life is too short to spend it choosing to be offended all the time.

Hey Petey - where abouts are you playing golf? You know my Dad lives there in Ft. Myers, about a mile or two south of the Home Depot in one of those retirement villages, same side of the main route there. He used to play golf alot but cant really walk so much anymore. You might be playing the same course he used to play???

I dont golf myself, well, unless you include trying to hit passing cars from my backyard when I was a kid with mini projectiles using my Dad´s clubs. So when wintertime rolled in, it would be with snowballs as a substitute. Ahh, those were the days, so much fun.

Pottz are you alive and recovering? Get up and comment on Gunny's project…
https://www.lumberjocks.com/projects/418227#comment-4988042

Yes my friend it was worth it. But I get a kick from Pottz commenting on me and my age… The big difference is not age but I don't have a loving and caring wife waiting for me… and concerns for the dalliances that I go on…

Well Pottz, let us know?

DS- You are the CNC meister here but in all honesty, the CNC stuff is not a priority at the "Show"... yet your stuff is always appreciated by me. Stay healthy, eat properly and I hope to hear from you later.

For me, my next challenge is to change the 2 water lines on the spindle…
