We can't use the mules. They are asleep on the living room floor. We wouldn't want to bother them with work or anything.

The mules are pretty tolerant of the cold.....but.....the pot belly pig has free run of the house.What? You don't bring yours in when it gets cold? What's wrong with you, man?

No tarnishI'm curious, what would be the advantage of stainless steel?
I think after the copper run, I'll pretty much be caught up. We'll probably move to an interest list type situation. I'm thinking, since there is a minimum of 25 units, I'll need to have a decent commitment for 15 or so, when it comes to the more expensive stuff like stainless... We're not talkin' money up front type of commitment here,...just a firm "I want one, and I'm ready" type o' thing.... Probably just one expensive type of material at a time... I have a 7 foot chunk of 7068 aluminum that needs machined,...so I'll probably start there... Need I remind you that 7068 is 80% the strength of titanium, only lighter and more electrically conductive?![]()
Well, it's stainlessI'm curious, what would be the advantage of stainless steel?

Since you're almost caught up... Any chance we'll see "Critical Spares Packs" in the near future?

Well, see, that's what I was thinking... heavy, poor conductor... the "patina" on the aluminum is slightly annoying, but I don't see a good trade-off in ss. Now, titanium is another story...Yep, no patina with stainless, though it is heavy, and not nearly as good of a conductor as copper, brass, or aluminum. It would be super tough, though.... PITA to finish out though, I'm sure...
