    Regular ole drill press, put a Wahlstrom float lock drill press vise on it and leave the table unlocked, best way I've found to drill holes on a drill press. Drill press would probably better fit your needs though, able to drill more versatile holes and has lots more daylight between the table and the spindle for tall parts and long drill bits.

    Battery in the car died on our way out to Denver yesterday, wouldn't restart after getting fuel. Got a jump and drove 20 miles to the Walmart to but a battery and a tool set to put it in, old battery was dated 2001. Got 12 years out of an interstate battery. Of course it was late enough the only place open was Walmart so its a shit battery but it works.

    I bought my Large that was a floor model, they chipped the bottom, threw in a bunch of free stuff and knocked down the price.

    Drives the wife somewhat nuts that western style clothes are the only things that fit me right it seems like.

    Sadly, I actually engineered a part for her. It was somewhat pitiful, but functional. We are $103 an hour, and the local dealer is ~$150 an hour. She would be about $350 into the tear down and re-install by me with no fix. By the time the dealer did their tear down and reinstall she would be into it another grand. She did a bunch of other work, so I decided to surprise her with some custom work by Sandt, and fabricated her a functional duct for free. She was thrilled when I showed her she had rear air, and surprised when I refused her tip. I just asked her to bring her car back to me for future service, that was enough tip for me. You sir are a studI want to bring my truck to him. Get that old bitch runnin. Putting it in a Craigslist ad and sell the thing would be easier....

    Any electronics repair place shouldn't have a problem with the surface mount pico fuses.

    I don't get the new K-Mart commercial on TV. "Yo mamma so fiscally responsible she got all that on lay-a-way" How is lay-a-way fiscally responsible?

    As soon as they asked for clarification of manslaughter and the article explained it, i had a feeling he was going to be not guilty by a long shot Shouldn't have went to trial anyway. Even though he was acquitted and rightfully so, it will change things for future self defense cases too I think. The shades of gray of the public's perception has a big influence.

    Even if I had a tarantula, no way would I be handling him with anything other than the heel of my boot.

    I'd forgotten how soft new 1/2 ton trucks were since I've been riding in an F-250 for over a year now at work.
