ouch! I'm truly upset that this happened. We haven't PMed, and I won't plague you. But I'm here and I'm all ears.

Dude..... I'm gonna try to say this as gracefully and respectfully as possible here (since I'm still trying to get together to meet you sometime, without getting clocked).......
Your daughter is gorgeous!
Would you expect anything less than perfection from a man with an epic beard?

no worries, my friend. i have no talent for making anything as gorgeous as a dibi, but even this blind squirrel once got lucky and produced something gorgeous.
no, MoN, the blind squirrel reference had nothing at all to do with your nuts...
bonus points: Gil finally realizes why i am partial to certain red mods
I'm all good dibs. Just one of those things. It was a "Save The Dibi" moment.
A burden worth bearing unfortunately
she talks to me you know, that fling-flangin thang you dang-done made 
It's been said that viewing porn is addictive.
Well, so is making it:
While I was out there in the sunshine between showers today, I realized I'd never done the obligatory hand shot:
No, she's not a different color on that side, it's just the way the light plays on this particular wood, and how the camera (my phone!) sees it.
Yes, the wood has a mildly distressed look to it; it's not perfectly smooth because it's a natural (not stabilized) maple burl that was aniline dyed and then finished with teak oil. This wood does expand and contract a bit with changes in temperature and humidity, and I find for the most reliable function without any fiddling, I prefer to keep it adjusted so there's a bit of gap on the end-plates (visible in the second photo).
I've got some 20 amp rated spring-pin contacts coming for another project and I'm pondering the concept of making a replacement center conductor. Get a piece of brass all-thread, cut it shorter than the existing one, and solder the spring-pin contacts to it; that way the end caps could sit totally flush no matter what mood the wood is in at any given moment? Please don't excommunicate me for expressing such heretical thoughts.

Actually, if I understand things correctly, there's a good chance I'll soon be posting pictures of your wood in my hand.Keep 'em coming Rossum! I never get tired of looking at your wood!

Are you using your biggest o-ring at the top of the battery to keep it from floating up?
Me too
I've technically been in CA when we toured Death Valley, but that's as far as I've made it. We have done Alaska though and I really want to go back Master of Bassets...and not much else.
sorry, I was just listening to my all time most favoritest musical band. (Supe, I know you know, and forgive me for being repetitive. . . . . . . .. . but I just love this stuff)
oh, and I just posted this over in Todd's forum, which is why I thought to put it here too.

because it's great music. And because you nailed it.
(listening and enjoying, what a pleasant surprise. Thank you sirius)
although . . . . . listening . . .... . and thinking. . . . . the "yes" is way more forgiving on the repetition. I really like how unforgiving the "meet me in st. louis" is.
