    I was enjoying the thought that maybe EasyNews read that DDT had just set up his 36th Quad and said " Screw this!"

    Little do they know that I've stumbled across a batch of retail Q6600 G0s with a good stepping and now I am looking to buy all of the dealer's stock.

    If anyone else said this I'd chuckle and do a but not you..
    Honestly, I didn't know there were good and better steppings in the G0's.
    Haven't really looked into it but from the posts it looks like 80% are excellent, 15% fair and 5% dogs..
    I'm spolied I guess. The one these guys sent me is a gem.
    I think in your hands it would do close to 4000 all day.
    I'm just not up enough on all the settings to find that "sweet spot" so I stay at 3600..

    That's how it will happen..You, then another guy, then another..
    Pure will and stubborness is what will get the job done..
    Besides, it's been too long since we had a BBQ..

    Damn, I should have known that was coming from an Aussie!
    Best thing you guys ever exported was Paul Hogan.
    Everyone in the US loved the guy.
    Now we also need steaks for this BBQ but don't buy them yet.
    It will be a while before they are needed and we want them fresh!

    yea, he married whats her name Linda something..The one in the movies with him..I didn't think she was that hot to be honest.
    I think that he was not exactly a young guy then and this young slinky thing saw the kind of reception the movie had and sunk in the claws..and probably the lips too...
    Even 20 years later they still love him here.
    It's the manner..open and honest and that is a welcome thing to see in a person over here.

    Agree, honesty can be a good thing. I was loved while living there (US - Atlanta mostly but traveled a lot) because they thought I sounded like Steve Irwin. I took this as an insult, but hey, when chicks at the pub asked if I wrestled crodiles, I had to say "Yes, we do that in Junior School"...

    Tell me about it.

    There's a few hundred dollars in sweat-bartered spalted ash and white oak begging to become my new case... just sitting in the dining room. Took me a long time to work that off, and it's telling me, there's a freaking drill under the tree, you just know it, rewrap it when you're done and start gluing us up...

    I'm not sure I want to resist it, even though it's bedtime.

    OHH, a woodworker..
    White oak is nice but open grain and like brick to sand.
    Ash is better but getting harder to find in decent sizes..
    Here's a little plaque I made a long time ago..
    Brazilian Mahogony with hard maple inlays..

    I've got a backyard full of ash and oak. About a dozen 8 foot, 10-14" diameter logs that are seasoned plus about 3 cord of fire wood. You pay shipping.
