He honestly is. Of all the "instamachinists" it's him and Robin Renzetti that I look forward to the most. Him because he often has a little trick or idea that's useful, and Robin, because he feeds my zero tolerance addiction.

Anybody want to loan me some cash? I find a nice little chunk of woods in southern WV.. :mrgreen:

I watched Dredd this weekend. I have questions:

1. Was Karl Urban's face sore after that? I mean, the constant downturned mouth must have been hard to maintain.

2. Where does the Megacity get its vegetables? Irradiated waste outside the walls. Pavement and rooftops inside.

3. The Judges' helmets were cool and all, but how could they see? It looked like the X on the visor put the legs right in front of his eyes.

4. No one needs the drug Slo-mo. Just attend a Zoom meeting. (Apparently, this is not a question.)

With your skill set and experience, it should be possible to find somebody who will.

I've got no place to put a shop of that size, I want nothing to do with investors, as they have "ideas"(one of my former bosses is going through this right now), no bank will loan me the money, and I want to buy a house and get the hell out of here - I was looking hard at this:
https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1561 ... 7221_zpid/?

It's waaay out of my price range.

This is far more likely, but it means sinking another 100k in Reno into the place:

Sigh, I could really do with some winning Powerball numbers. I'm not greedy, 10 million after taxes is more than enough. :mrgreen:

Shouldn't have looked. Taurus has a 6 round model 85 out? Humph... When did that happen?

I know Taurus gets no love but my 85UL never fails.
I have been staying away from any local merchants of death. Safe is overloaded. Seems like all sorts of gen 4 this, gen 5 l. Mostly variations of models that IMHO didn't need fixing. Meh, Gilding the Lily and marketing games.
.

But a 6 shot snub that's worth the change effort. Keep me from risking carry of my Colt Detective.

I shouldn't have looked as I'm on retirement budget now. Maybe get more serious about some of those work offers.
