The Coffee Shop / I'm on the way!

« on: July 23, 2015, 12:35:30 pm »

Replied to Judy's post and will repost here...

Been a tough couple years and I am getting back in the swing of things.

Just spent 4 days in the mountains of Silverthorne, CO at my daughter's family retreat in the mountains.
I had many hours to just contemplate and 'talk with the BOSS' and  feel much better for it.

I also have missed my interactions with you all and I really appreciate all your prayers and good wishes...along with the meditations and the 'happy pills' from my Dr. I think I can make it back to the real obnoxious, fun loving me!

My sincerest "HUGZ" to you ALL!!!!!!!!!

Hey gang!

I just spent a great weekend with my daughter and her family at their new mountain retreat in Silverthorne Colorado.
Spent many hours just admiring God's creations at 9,400 feet. Really, how could anyone be an atheist? Also spent several pleasant hours just 'talking with the BOSS!'

The fog is lifting and the 'happy pills' seem to be working so I guess life ain't so damn bad after all!

Sorry I have been so distant and I promise to get back in the thick of things soon....God Bless all of you for your prayers and good thoughts!
I have missed you all terribly!!!!

HUGZ to you all..............

General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: Spiral Blades Avice?

I use the 2/0 and 3/0 spirals for all my 'portrait' type cuttings...MY rules are....

1. As much tension as the blade will stand without breaking
2. Saw speed as fast as you can work with, the faster the better
3. If you think you are going slow enough you are probably going too fast! SLOW feed!

You are not really using a 'blade' but a tiny round 'rasp'!!!

Any person who does not help others is a fool!

We all need help on occasion.

And there ain't no FOOLS on this forum!  ONLY GOOD FOLKS!

I would explain the situation to various vendors and see if you could come up with donations, demonstration equipment, etc.

That was without a doubt the dumbest call by any quarterback or coach or offensive coordinator in the entire history of football!
