The Bar

Well, if you ever get the chance to stop by again, you gotta check out the cafe' on Cap hill. Unlike a lot of places that torture everything, these guys all know their stuff. It's mostly freaks working there, so you'll have no problem communicating. They automatically pull their shots ristretto, and never scald the milk.

Sounds like my kind of place DD.

OK, It's almost 2 here. I'm going to crawl back under the NEB and see if I can sleep.

I wish it was 2 here, I'm so ready to be done. Night, Sput.

I just had a thought....you just never see a Snap-On-Tools truck driving around like you used to. Maybe they're getting harder and harder to find, like travel agencies and Irish setters.

Well, they're damn expensive for one- I think I'd just get craftsman, they're guaranteed for life and cost a helluva lot less.

CC, in case you're still here--I'm going to see if Drop-in P's has an update on the break-up on their myspace page

MellotronG · Post by **MellotronG** » Sat Apr 15, 2006 10:55 pm

That's just it--Craftsman has that great lifetime guarantee indeed

What I'm really looking forward to is the day I can afford a full set of Ridgid cordless, and my very own Mig welder. heh heh.

I'd like a big 5-phase JET table saw w/full extensions & a shop to put it in.
I'd like to start a wintertime seasonal business doing electric vehicle conversions.

I'm actually getting sleepy--starnge--I just got out of bed eleven hours ago (but had a huge party night last night after waking up early yesterday)

Nice. I build weird custom bike things, and would like to do it in my own space on my own time.

MellotronG · Post by **MellotronG** » Sat Apr 15, 2006 11:10 pm

That bike on your avatar....how do you get up on that thing--you have to launch from a loading ramp or a stepladder? I mean--it looks real & functional, but getting on must be tough.

Desert Duck · Post by **Desert Duck** » Sat Apr 15, 2006 11:13 pm

It's a mini triple- it's actually slightly smaller than a regular tallbike. You grab both sides of the handlebars, put one foot on a pedal, hop, hop, off you go. Getting off is even easier. Stand on the brake with one foot and as you slow step off the back.

If you're on tribe you can see me riding the other one (I have two). I'm Duckster on there.

I think the wildest thing I ever heard about being built in a home shop was an exact replica of an Airbus A-380 with Emirates livery built a year ago. It actually flies w/miniature jet engines and is reputed to be the largest R/C fixed-wing model aircraft ever built. It looks like a human can just jump on like a pegasus & go for a ride.

Desert Duck · Post by **Desert Duck** » Sat Apr 15, 2006 11:18 pm

That's pretty wild. I remember when someone had built a B29 with miniature rotary engines-took two or three people to fly it, too. So how big is that, you got a link?

Hey DDuck did you card that kid with the old headphones on? looks a little young to be in The Bar

MellotronG · Post by **MellotronG** » Sat Apr 15, 2006 11:19 pm

Mustn't really be any more difficult than back in the early 20th century getting on and pedaling those big wheel bikes.....

Hey, my legal ID is for real...even though I'll admit- I signed it in crayola and moved the decimal point to the right one space....

(and by the way, isn't cyberspace kinda like being in international waters?)

Rockdad · Post by **Rockdad** » Sat Apr 15, 2006 11:25 pm

Ok kiddo if DDuck says it looks cool I guess so...I duck what is tonights drink need a closer

I don't car how old he is, he told me about this-you gotta check it out.

MellotronG · Post by **MellotronG** » Sat Apr 15, 2006 11:28 pm

I actually drank a hot cuppa Dr. Pepper, served up hot like tea. Nuked it for a minute & still had plenty of carbonation. Nice with a clove & lemon.

Desert Duck · Post by **Desert Duck** » Sat Apr 15, 2006 11:30 pm

For CC when he gets back, and for the rest of us right now.

BlueNiteOwl, PurpleKoosh- you're just in time for the next round.

PurpleKoosh · Post by **PurpleKoosh** » Sat Apr 15, 2006 11:37 pm

Anybody for a late-night burger run?

MellotronG · Post by **MellotronG** » Sat Apr 15, 2006 11:37 pm

smell-o-vision is one thing, but I can't wait for serve-o-vision! All the coffee and coctails jump right off the screen & you can consume them right on the spot.

Right>click>serve!

(Actually, I think the Firesign Theater did a spoof on that in the 70's)

Welcome back, CC. What's the good word?

Rockdad · Post by **Rockdad** » Sat Apr 15, 2006 11:40 pm

That is so cool the video is amazing! And damn bet it would blow right past a Global Hawk me thinks military probably ordering a few hundred with weapon package soon.

Must be a hell of a High Powered RF controller wouldn't want to lose control of it!

Now I know what hit the World Trade Centers!
