The guy on the left in the pic is a friend.
Full time job was as a fireman.
Bravest bastage I ever knew.
All of 5'7" and maybe 150lbs..
I'm not in that pic. I did that as a favor for the guy on the left.Dave! You were young once!!!
The guy in the middle was the "Chief of the boat" on the Carrier Kennedy and was retiring.
My buddy was in charge of the retirement party.
He went to get a plaque made and they wanted $450.00 and 3 months
He didn't have 3 months and asked me to do one in the shape of the carrier deck as seen from above.
When it was done he asked me how much. Told him that was my gift.
Should have seen me trying to take down that hard maple to sit flush with the mahogany.
Took hours..The maple is like brick, the mahogany is like soft butter.
Came out nice and the smile was plenty of payment.

Awesome work Dave.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..

When you stick a hamster to the persons head and force them to install and run WCG on their machine.Thread hijacking? What's that?
Then they are compelled to join XS and start posting in a frightened state and can not focus on a single coherent state, then after they are left sitting @ their PC, they continue to post in random threads inciting multi directional conversations with no single point of topic.

That is an exact road map of what has happened to me...
Hey man, in addition to that, it made me shave my head and start spouting 300 lines. No lie.
I've become known as King Leonidas of Finseal. Gotta love good old JVC, where I make Crysis, COD4, Halo 3, et cetera, et cetera... and those bloody Dell MediaDirect install packages-if you've seen one recently, I made it. Probably has my fingerprints on it, in fact.
yeah, umm................ surrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrre...............That is an exact road map of what has happened to me...
how many empty bottles of assorted spirits are sitting next to you @ the moment.

That my friend is exactly why we had to come up with a disclaimer. We have to protect Fugger from us "Crazed Crunchers".That is an exact road map of what has happened to me...
I just blame Dave and everyone says... "Yeah, I know what you mean".

Dave is the general, we are the grunts, DDtung is the Spec Opps, the rest of us for the most part are the grunts, though I think Eric/Njkid is a officer, with a few others. Me.........?? I have no idea, I just go do my own thing, but for the team so I am sorta mercenary of sorts.

Cruncher #2 is on the grid, which should double my output. Not quite sure why it took me so long to realize I have a perfectly good work comp that stays on 24/7.
Hee hee cheers to that
