    @StayinStock will either pick it up or you can send it C.O.D. to his place of residency. Be sure and mark it hazardous waste so the neighbor doesn't steal it off his porch...again :facepalm:

    I was having fun boring these 12 parts to -.0000" to +.0005" then they went and through one in that has a .0002" tolerance. Took some fine sanding but it's in tolerance.

    About the boat........

    @StayinStock got permission to use it and was coming to pick me up so we could go catch some feesch. He said he knew the best spot but apparently, he doesn't know how to drive a boat. I did get it on film what happened though :eek:

    Please, please don't tell @Tacoma Mike cause he'll kill us, well he'll kill Stock anyway.

    Kinda related, I had a couple of open wood pellet bags I needed to dump. Brought them to the transfer station and the manager took them to use in his chicken coop. Apologies to the community for forgetting about the prize where house :anonymous:
    I worked at a place with very aggressive, institutionalized adults. Me and my coworkers relied on each other for personal safety. We had a new guy come on board who quickly earned the nickname “Paint” because that’s how useful he was when things got hairy.
