John, The explosive force of at least 125 PSI paired with a structurally compromised vessel that has a lot of square inches of surface area adds up to an undesirable outcome. I was filling a split rim truck tire assembly in 2001- the split rim broke at 65 PSI. The force of the resulting explosion ruined the tire cage and rocketed two, foot-long pieces of the ring through a twelve inch block wall. I am convinced that had I been filling the assembly sans cage I and a few employees would have been killed.

They have excellent scrap value.I'd guess you're looking at nearly 3 bucks worth of stuff.If you take a half day and separate the metals, you'll net $5

No. It's less powerful than any of my hand-held drills.

We got back from Portland on Sunday night. We spent the first two days in Oregon in a little cottage on Netarts' Bay then we saw Oregon's biggest Sitka spruce with a trunk diameter of 15 feet. It was pretty darn fantastic. The next day we drove 6 hours one way to Jedediah Smith State Park in California to see the redwoods which were humbling, primordial and awe-inspiring. But between the two tree days, we had a wonderful dinner with Jim Katen and Les Van Alstine at Mother's Bistro. Jim was smart and funny. He also has an idea or two about how to get rich inspecting houses. Les was philosophic and spoke directly to my wife. (see the second photo) I couldn't always hear him but I think he was saying that he's already rich from inspecting houses. It was like a bonus that I got to see Don Norman and Charlie Sessums. And after 15 years, I was lucky to meet Mike O'Handley as well.

That's very cool.

The seventh then.

Thanks, Jim. I appreciate the help! It'd be great to meet you. Maybe we (including Les) can get together for dinner on Friday the 8th?

It's fine. The 100 amp breaker is just a switch. Nice to hear from you. Stop by and visit more.

We'll be in Portland, Oregon for four days in early September. Anyone have some *must do* suggestions?

Slicing/ shearing the end of a log like slicing bologna would be the first step to produce produce chips like those ... so would agressive cross grain planing.

Thanks, Les I'll fill out the application.

Thanks, Nolan

I'm considering applying for the position on the board. Have any of you done this in the past?

Dennis, Please explain why high humidity causes a white powder with gas furnaces.

It's not sex unless someone ends up with cooling fin imprints on their butt.
