That mud member's business has spawned at least two negative threads in chat when he took other mud members' money but didn't ship product for months on end and also didn't communicate with said customers. Just sayin'

Could complete your education. Somewhere I thought I saw that you had some college. A step cousin of mine learned electrical engineering when she was 32. Got her out of small town Iowa. I don't know about you, but I've always found learning more fun than working.

Apparently there is some drama between CSC and him regarding non-delivery of products.

Looks like he is back to a day job. I hope it works out for him as a hobby business.

did you see his other post?

I don't think you would be high on the priority list..........just sayin'

I use an antique regular iron without steam holes. It's on its last legs and since I am waxing almost daily in the winter (we ski four days a week and I have four pairs of skis and my two daughters will both be racing next year) I've decided to get a real waxing iron....

Is that a metaphor?

Yeah, well, don't sit on the rear rack in shorts. That tube gets hot.

Friends had two, took a couple trips on the back when I was 9, what fun!

for the 40, there is a connection hose available, so that when the seal is shot, the oil still oils both

Did not know this... thought maybe she could get dimensions or what have you from the site... Sorry to hear it is not working out for the young man since I know he was trying very hard when he started out and quit his day job.

thanx for the info

[grrlscout89FJ62]

Well, errands were hit and miss.

Fill up the gas tank at Costco - check. $62.70

Desert Rat was sold out of the cheapie deflators.

But they did have this:



Would be be bad to mix regular and synthetic?

Because Germans do not want to be interrupted when talking or posting.

I think that is because both of those qualities (logic, efficiency) are actually derived values and not the primary criteria

the primary criteria for germans are thoroughness and quality - the efficiency only derives from the alck of mishaps or breakdowns - similarly, quality requires logic

but efficiency as in "saving time" is not a primary concern - in fact, germans will go to great length in their thoroughness to ensure ultimate quality (or at least they did until they bought an american automaker )

I did not mean to imply that I was endorsing his business (especially since I did not know of his problems) but if grrl was going to pay uncle to weld some up, his site might still be a good resource for information on how everything fits together.

Good Luck grrl.

I interrupt people constantly

it doesn't bother me to be interrupted myself (SOP in my family ), since - if the thought is important - I will keep it in mind and inject it into the discussion at the next possible juncture

Desert Rat is way closer for me.

They had the Staun ones for $60. But I wanted the $10 keychain ones.

Their records indicated 2 were in stock, but none were found. Guess they walked out the door in someone's pocket.
