    Good morning crew :pccoffee: use to have a fear of dentists until 17 maybe when a friend father sent me to his dentist with gas. No issues since.
    @CurtB if you PM me address I'll send some music your way. Good to hear your vision is good again.

    Morning all,
    The shop is busy.
    Getting sick of Saturday mornings but I do for the guys working.
    I was reluctant to join the NC world but.
    Play time is encouraged to self train programming.
    No one really to help we have NC programmers but not for the conversational.

    One of the Engineers at my work is a medevac helicopter pilot! I've never taken a ride in a helicopter but some day I will. Just hope it's not the medical emergency one!

    I think a hot air balloon would be a little sketchy for me.

    I went in a tiny helicopter similar the one below some 30 years ago, it was $30 for 15 minutes. Pilot and 2 passengers crammed in a cockpit the size of an old Ford Ranger cab. It is well established that I'm a cheapskate -- that ride was worth the money! Probably the neatest thing I have ever done.

    The weekend of September 17th-19th is the Annual Applejack Festival here in Nebraska City. In years past they've had helicopter rides but I believe it cost $100 or more. If they have it this year I might try it. I'm pretty sure I could get them to do a fly over of my house.
    Applejack Festival is pretty cool. Parade, street vendors, Specials at the Orchards, usually a lot of cars at the car show. Good times.

    I’m rejecting them the vendor is gonna be pissed but oversize holes and out of tolerance on parallelism.
    We’ve been sending a lot of work out and have a lot of issues with vendors.
    Their inspection report says all is good also. Weld repairs sleeved holes etc.

    It most certainly is. Most of the training is geared toward CNC, I enjoy it, but nothing like cranking out your own parts.

    As a hint to what I do, this is one of the "products" my "people" make. The other is dice, ya know the first projects you make in... Hint hint.

    Might be a bit weird, but I just don't like publicly saying it...
