You could work for any manufacturer, past or present...

*G* Well, obviously Lincoln Walsh...

...but my 2nd choice would be Apogee. *S*

But I got involved in telling people where to go....Beautifully, and with Style...;)

.....and Time....*inhale & hold*(pause)*exhale*....

is not only Relative....but is tending irrelevant....of late....

....damn time machines always seem to dump one into the wrong era, anyway....

...but this would be the current 'toy' of choice.....

I'm a big fan of versatile...'one trick ponies' around me end up getting 'modded' relentlessly....*L*

*G*  I'm working on getting a good excuse to get a CNC machine into my shop for 'various 'n sundry' projects...

I can 'fake' some things, job out current stuff as the company needs arise.

But it's the 'after hours' personal things that would keep me out of these forums that would keep me dulling bits...*L*  Doesn't need to be SOTA....

(Leaden Hint) ;)

....interestingly enough, whilst running about on a sunny Sat., spouse points out a new nearby workshop that touts "CNC"....

I guess I'll just have to wander over and introduce self....;)  Only about a mile away....

"Y'all route Sintra?  We need to talk...." *L* ;)

.....meanwhile....

Instead of fighting over 'turf', we ought to go back to looking at some new 'turf'. ;)  Just think of the 'tech transfer' that could make audio beyond your wildest dreams.....

RIP, Mad Mike...*skoal*'clink'*

At least you had the gumption to defy all to try....there's honor in that.

Yeah, the majority of us can laugh, call him a fool, mad, a waste of misguided talent and energy...but a willingness to put skin into the game and pay the Big Price for it....

That level of commitment at least deserves respect.

I have a shirt in the closet with an image of the Space Shuttle.
When I wore it more often, I'd get the comment....

"But people have died in that thing!  Would you....Do you still want to go?!"

Oh, Hell Yes!   In a N.Y. minute...

It's the most exciting ride one could wish for.

It makes history every single time it flies, whether it comes back or not.

If you're on it, it's because you've worked to get aboard and you deserve to be on it.

It's the most unique experience one will ever have, ever.

....and the view is incredible.

You return with a perspective that changes you indelibly.

---------------------

I've wished that the ISS inhabitants would turn the cameras away from Earth...when on the night side on an orbit....

....and give us the view towards Out There...

...a view unfettered by pollution, clouds, air....

The view of the Real Deep.

I may a 'silly romantic' about it, but I'd like to see it.

With my own eyes...

..it was hard to tell if they were kidding....

Humor was never their strong suit....

I like the Space Pens......y'know, the ones' that would write upside down?
*S*  Priceless when you're on your back too messed up to sit up....

Actually, there was a black market for them...the aliens couldn't get enough of them.  When they were discontinued, they were pissed (or their version of it.....you really don't want to know how it's done....).

Anyway....they got so upset over that, they're going to return and waste the planet.  It'll take them a while to get back to this sector, but they've got this new virus that starts slowly, but is supposed to wipe us off like snow on a windshield...
