Thanks for the tip. (too many checks)
Long since replaced, but the engineering and machining would have taken much longer than learning the necessary flip. Simpler is better.

Thanks always good for a cold one.

It's useless to try to talk to noir. He suddenly takes little cat naps. we think he's narcoleptic.

Yeah... not long at all. I’m thinking we could just hold it down in there and watch the bottle for clues.

Do you still have that Limerick I wrote for you in PM, noir? some of my PMs went kaput, and the one containing that baby was among them. I stupidly failed to write it down. Since I was drinking when I wrote it, I'd have to precisely match the level of drunkenness at which it was composed in order to be able to recall it.

Aha!!! Here it is...

A fellow--whom we'll call LeChatNoir--
was possessed of such skill in the boudoir,

While going through and deleting some obsolete PMs, I found this little well-turned phrase, which I wrote in response to an inquiry as to my marital status:
I am indeed married, to the most fabulous woman that was ever created through natural laws interacting with one another in a seemingly entropic universe, or any other process.
Heehee. I like that. Don't show it to the missus, though. Last thing I need to do is add fuel to that fire.

Oh, go on... it'll make her smile.

Ok... I’m feeling another fit coming on. I think I’m gonna crash out. That turbine should run out of fuel shortly. Just keep the cooler lid closed when not getting into it, it should stay cold for, oh... 6 or 7 days.

See ya!!

Dam, I seem to be alone,.. it's hard to be mixed nuts when I'm the only one,.. well I can be a mixed up nut but it's not as fun,.. I suppose I could play with my nuts, that can be fun, though having somebody else play with them would be a lot more fun and I wouldn't want them mixed up.

Since this is the general discussion thread, did anyone else vote in the latest Borg2 election? Choices, choices, choices. For me it came down to Dance Dance Revolution with fire ravers...literally, or grilled cheese sandwiches and a community burn platform. But they've got a lot of good things going on.

Speaking of that I'll be glad when this board opens up the rest of the way so we can learn what others are working on...besides the cool camp Apokiliptika stuff.
