    Probably just as well, the ground gets harder as you get older.

    Shop tip; if your chucking up regular drill bits without any flats on them, tighten them very good, meaning hit all three holes. That's how those chucks get buggered up from a tool spinning in them. Be nice if they would order a smaller one for you as well, the kind that tighten by hand works great for smaller stuff.
    I have taken small, like 1/2" diameter stones and turn them inside the jaws to clean them up a little.
    I've tried putting new jaws in them too, finally figured out how to do that.

    Now I have to go back to the training center today to give Task Performance Evaluation on those guys I give alignment training to.
    They'll be people watching me, not for their performance but mine. I love my job....

    Boss man called coworker, this is week 6 of not being in. He went to a doctor initially and they gave him some pain med for his feet. He has blisters of some sort on them and hasn't put shoes on for 6 weeks. Boss told him last week he needs to go to another doctor. He hasn't, he has been diagnosing himself on the internet and says it could be 1 of 3 things :frusty:

    He was showing me his medicare card before Christmas, go to a doctor and flash that thing :frusty::frusty::frusty:

    Blisters/open wounds/etc on the feet are deadly - especially to older people.
    Infection can get a foothold.

    That's what I told my boss, probably something in his blood that can be cured.....if he'll just go to the doctor.

    No, it was bad. She would cut slices of homemade bread about 1.25" thick and the tiniest amount of ketchup. It was so dry that she had to have a drink of water with every bite. She liked it though, so whatever.

    Accurate, especially if they're diabetic.

    My wife has assisted with numerous amputations at work. Her very first day they had an above the knee amputation. The surgeon handed her the leg and she just stood there like "WTF am I supposed to do with this?!?" :laugh:
