Women are honest, loyal, and forgiving.
They are smart, knowing that knowledge is power.
But they still know how to use their softer side to make a point.
Women want to be the best for their family, their friends, and themselves.
Their hearts break when a friend dies.
They have sorrow at the loss of a family member, yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left.
A woman can make a romantic evening unforgettable.
Women come in all sizes, in all colors and shapes.
They live in homes, apartments and cabins.
They drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you to show how much they care about you.
The heart of a woman is what makes the world spin!
Women do more than just give birth.
They bring joy and hope.
They give compassion and ideals.
They give moral support to their family and friends.
And all they want back is a hug, a smile and for you to do the same to people you come in contact with.

Knew better than to even go near the shop…

Look what happened…sheesh…all I was going to do was try out a way to clamp up the corners…get the cauls pre-made..and get the clamps pre-set…

Afraid to even try to move this off the tablesaw/assembly table….I guess Door#2 will just have to wait…

At least I can recycle the clamping stuff….

 

Queu terror music, in 3….. 2….. 1…..

That must be a fun feeling. Look like a piece of cheese on a cracker for a 18' shark. Think Gunny would give that wiring a shot he has the paper work for it

 

Hey DW--
I was fascinated by the Debt clock….I had heard several times how much of each tax dollar it takes to service the debt. It seems to be a number that is not agreed on…I was surprised that the Debt Clock didn't reflect that….or did I miss it?

Brian, I am a graduate of a Photographic Institute, we took Physics as related to lens manufacture and aberrational correction. I have revisited that study several times in my career, for various reasons. Lens grinding is not an easy task, and until the 90's was all done by hand…..I have questions as to whether ancient man could produce the glass and grind it to be able to focus light for cutting. I am not saying that I don't believe it isn't possible, I'm just saying it is not a simple process. What I am saying is that production of a pyramid would not be the amazing part, production of the glass used to cut the block would far outrank it.

Topa…I have always believed that Star Wars was completed…..it seemed to go away, or at least go out of the conversation. I believe it left discussions because it was completed.

Pottzy-Is there 2 for 1 drinks during Happy Hour? R and C please…..

 

Mike- the debt clock was meant to be something to think about as to how accurate is it? All I can say is that when a country runs up debt and continues to do so- then there will be a day of reckoning and our purchasing power diminishes. There are many currencies that have gone kaput…
In 1999, I was buying gold at around $200 -300 per ounce and it went up to $1,900 per ounce…then dropped IMO due to controlling factors… Today, it is quite foreseeable to see "new taxes" to help offset the economic collapse due to debt, in the US. In the mid-1990s Canada's debt was high and its dollar was sinking- they added an 18%
Goods and Service Tax (GST). And like all taxes, they don't go away.

I think that we are going digital and bitcoins type currencies will be the new norm. Change comes slowly, but the powers to make it work will do so. This is similar to electric vehicles- they are here and we will see more and more…

We are born with a birth certificate, get married with a certificate, and die with a death certificate.

I believe that this clock is accurate…

Moke, if you watch the documentary, or if you dont, anyway, it is clearly explained that this lens was NOT GLASS. It was not ground to shape either, it was poured into a mold. I dont recall what the ingredients were, caustic soda was one. Think of it more as a crystal, perhaps. Of course, one rather blaring question is how they came up with the idea to begin with. Moreover, these are not ancient men were are talking about, no matter how the Pyramids were built, the level of mathematical planning is astounding, and very advanced; the whole structure was planned and built using sacred geometry. These people were no different than we are. I would say, even smarter than a large percentage of people who "graduate" high school today. Calculating volume of something that big, for instance; or the descending tunnel that goes about 100 meters underground is to within 1 centimeter from end to end (this accuracy is not going to happen with copper chisels and rocks as tools, not to mention other problems like a light source, digging above your head or below your feet, and the exhaled CO2 that would have killed someone in about an hour.). At any rate, one does not begin building such a massive structure without a precise detailed plan to begin with.

All I am saying, really, is that this is one explanation/theory. A very simple one. For anyone to really get a mental grasp of it, they would need to watch the documentary.

 

When it is snowing so hard, ya can't even see a block down the street…time for one of these..

And just stay the bloody hell home…

 

Bandit good plan on staying in and nice work! I was taught to put finish on the panel before glue up. That way when it expands and contracts there is no unfinish line that will show.

Brian I am in 30 min this am on the documentary.

DW yes on killing spiders and rats anything that moves. See you guys later . Dinner out tonight.

I have seen worse ;-)) Reminds me of a friend recommending me to a contractor looking for someone to save an account. The electrician doing the work had issues of some kind and his work looked like that.

Interest rates at 0 there is no debt service ;-)

I'm sure we have Star Wars technology, but I doubt we can shoot down planes over Moscow with a laser from Seattle. If we could I'm sure Iran and Iraq would have evaporated in the last few years, maybe Afghanistan too.

Coronavirus restrictions with many merchants refusing cash and checks advance that process exponentially. The only thing preventing complete conversion is WA requiring the Pot Stores to be cash-only ;-))

Those certificates are a 20th Century phenomenon. My bride has to check census and family Bibles for genealogy research. They will probably be a requirement for the foreseeable future. Only about 1 or 2 % are as good as their word ;-(

The clock is accurate. Will the world last that long? Shiddalites are trying to end it ;-((

Sorry about the melancholy attitude. I finished my chity council meeting public input a little while ago. I was the happiest guy in the world before being annexed and discovered the mayor brings Myopic Financial Focus Policy from Boeing willing to kill for a few dollars.

Meatballs will short out that spaghetti ;-)

 

Pottz and DW, awhile back I believe you guys bought a free hand router table dust collection thingy that connects to the router plate. I was wondering if you had a chance to use it and if it's any good?

I have to design a new router table at work. They use it for really big dining table base pieces so a normal router table doesn't work.

Right now dust collection is non existent and I want to improve that. Was thinking about how to.

Here is a pic of the base that would get flush trimmed on this table.

 

DW- Just the "Clock" itself is a piece of work! I can't begin to fathom the difficulty to put that together. I asked about the Debt service because in the 2016 campaign there were 17 candidates in Iowa for months. I live in Cedar Rapids so we sure had our share. I was a Commander in the local Sheriff's Office for all the part timers. We had constant requests for security and the cost of servicing the debt was a constant issue mentioned. I never hear much about it now. If I remember right I think the debit was 19 trillion almost 20 and it was said that the cost to service the debt was 40 some cents out of a dollar. I know some of the debt is borrowed from China and various places and some is just plain printing more money…..either way that is scary. I was surprised that the debt was only 27 trillion as we must have added to it in the last year with the stimulus programs. Maybe Topa or someone smarter than me can explain it briefly. (I took macro economics twice in College, either way it was 40+ years ago).

Brian, Thanks for the explanation about the crystals. I will watch the video. I am a huge fan of History and have watched and read many things about Egypt. It is one of Favorite things to study. I have seen many explanations of how the pyramids were built. There seem to be as many explanations as there are archeologists. This one seems original. I have always been impressed as to how accurate and precise they are. I am sure you heard recently about the guy flying the drone overhead discovered they are 8 sided. (dimpled in the middle on each side)
I guess I am so interested in History because of the inherent mysteries that accompany these things. I do laugh at the Archeologists…I recently was reading an article that said we have only found 10% of the things Egypt has to offer…..now if they are not found how do they know it's 10%....I love statistics and have to laugh…..89.23487% of statistics are made up!

Topa, I guess I always saw Star Wars as being more like an Iron Dome type of deal…..more meant for Knocking down in bound Nukes rather than a weapon to target planes and such. These are scary times and the thought of a Star Wars protection system ads some comfort. True or not…..I'm going with it!

Pottzy-May I have another R&C….You have a nice place here..I was thinking of checking with Jon Taffer, the Bar Rescue Guy come in….yell at you for a while then fix up the place for free (See if Petey can make the countertops)....Taffer either is the baddest guy around or has his production team bribe these owners or has spent some serious hospital time! Oh.. Do we have quesadillas available?
Thanks guys!

In my neck of the woods, everyone drinks whiskey when it snows. I usually just stuck with Shiraz.

 

Made my workbench this morning. Still have to mount the vise and do some little things, but the large part is done. I will post pics when done.

Pottz, I really like your urn lid in the pic. It matched the rest of the urn. If it were me, I would place the handle up on pegs so you can still see the lid.

 

Lol. Yep, trying out a new look. What, you no likey likey? I thought I was looking kinda Guapo. No, I thought I would fit in more round here as a bunch of you guys use your dogs for an avatar.

brian you been out in the sun too long you look a lot darker,maybe need a shave too.wifes been gone and you let yourself go.

Well, Moke, and All, this documentary is good in many ways, far as history goes, but there are some serious holes in the theory. The drop of water as equaling a centimeter is also questionable because this depends on how the measurement is done. I tried it and it didnt once come up as a centimeter exactly. The biggest problem is, when you melt granite you dont get granite as a result, you get rhyolite or maybe obsidian. Also, no one has ever found one of these so called lenses, as far as we know. If you click the link and then just browse the comments you can get some idea of other problems. The last 1/2 hour or so gets into territory which is, at the least flawed, and rather political. Still worth watching, IMO. One really cool bit of info was, with the problem of CO2 buildup in an enclosed space, turns out this can be negated by the limestone dust, as it binds CO2.

Some interesting screen captures:

The mold and the result:

Yucatan. Recall that the Egyptians were not caucasian, as some have asserted. Later with the Ptolemy (Greek) dynasty yes, but not prior. One curious thing about alot of the Egyptian statues is that the noses are chopped off, like with the Sphinx, the documentary goes into some detail as to why that might be.

This heiroglyph exists in only two places in the world. Djedefre was Khufu´s son; the smaller of the three pyramids at Giza is his.

This is a stele from Tiahuanico, South America. Lower left corner you can see three pyramids, just as at Giza.
