Mandown hit me up about some stuff today and realized I haven't been on here in a while. The last six months or so has just been nuts. Regular work, side gig machining stuff work, family stuff and everything else all rolled into one.

We just got a new puppy, a Rhodesian Ridgeback. She's awesome so far. The machining gig has been going swimmingly. I sold my old machine and signed papers on a brand new one last week. It is on a truck tomorrow from Chicago to basically straight here it sounds like. My youngest started school this year and he's been a handful, but otherwise both boys are doing well. Overall, everything is going really good and need to get back on here more often.

Suuuuper busy with machine work. Good problem to have, so I can't complain.

I was talking to the Fadal but it's good to see you too.

 

[Westy]

Neato, I miss working with CNC machines.

Fadal used to be a customer of mine. They were an interesting company that got ruined and driven into the ground once taken over by Corporate America. Actually Corporate Germany and Israel.

 

[kidwoo]

Corporate Germany and Israel.

oh man, those guys definitely have some history, so I could see it

Fun fact, that Brother is a giant label maker.

Family business sold to german conglomerate. German conglomerate used it as a training ground for incompetent frat boy executives who mismanaged it into the ground. Israeli conglomerate purchased it for the value it saw in the L.A. city block of real estate it stood on.

Pretty much. Runs like a sewing machine.

Me n kazlx just formed a beautiful relationship that may or may not involve precise motorized, block sized 6061 dildos with social commentary messages

block is a shape not a size, sheesh.

tell a civic planner that

noob

I'm not talking subjective raw material sized dildos here, I'm talking ones that block police forces because no one can drive past them

I think he means city-block. Someone needs to show @kidwoo Central Park adjacent NYC, he’s been beaten to the punch.

I've slept in central park

true story

not intentional but I've definitely spent the night unconscious in central park

 

[Changleen]

I’ve fallen asleep (passed out) in a cab driving through Central Park. Does that count?

He is going to need a bigger machine than that Brother

 

[maxyedor]

I’ve got some serious tool cabinet envy, one day I’ll be in the big leagues with some Lista too.

Congrats on the label maker and doggo. I haven’t messed with one of those Brothers but heard they’re a nice machine. Ridgebacks are quality pups, I have given those a pat, 10 out of 10, would pat again

Would a 1400" dildo work for you? Could make it in two parts if you really wanted to tickle your tonsils.

Then might I suggest some explosive hydro-forming to achieve the desired scale.

beware of the big C with your ridgeback....

older brothers second one has a suspect lump on rear leg....

first one had cancer...

Also, the whole broken neck thing has been about as good as possible. Should be cleared to ride again in Feb if I want to via the neurosurgeon. Which, at this point, I think I do. Take it slow, but I feel like I want to at least get back out and pedal again. I miss being out on the bike riding and I miss having a good form of exercise. So even if it's just to roll mellow and putt around I think it would be good.
