    It's a simple seven step plan!

    1) Start you marriage off with your wife blaming all decisions regarding them on you even though she made them.
    2) Have you mother-in-law decide that she isn't being paid enough to watch her grandkids when your mom doesn't want to be paid at all.
    3) Fire her and start taking them to a daycare even though it's less convenient and costs more.
    4) Mix and let steep for several years.
    5) Stay out of a blow up between your wife and her parents because her entire family is crazy
    6) ???
    7) Profit!

    Figure I'll share it here, welded this for a fellow member. I had some .625 points I made awhile back for something else, not machinist precise, but far better than most axle builders.

    Knowing my sister-in-law, I wouldn't wish that level of crazy on anyone. I have no idea how my wife ended up as good as she is.

    How many times have you forgot to subtract the 2” or 1” if you use it for a center? :anonymous:

    Went by the Red Wing store the other day to get some new insoles for my work boots. They have a machine you stand on and it measures pressure points on your feet and tells you which insoles are best. It’s like I have a new pair of boots again :D

    While I'm apparently in the minority on this one, process of elimination made it easy.

    I already get looked at like I have a third eye. (That's a lie but go with it) No need to make it worse.
    Have you SEEN the weather in Fargo in the winter? Biking is absolutely not an option. Hell, driving sometimes isn't an option. :laugh:
    Dog food? Just no.

    Finger it is.

    I got to thinking about it, I'm not trying to impress anyone is why I went with one eyebrow missing but now that I think about it, vice grips may be easier to use with 6 fingers on one hand.

    I was wondering whether it’s a heavy unibrow or one eye missing. Not sure which is better

    My round trip ride to work would be 55 miles, in humid Florida, at 4:30am. So I’m going to have to pass on that!
