thanks, Gene, the welding trick sounds like a good approach. I don't think I've had even close to 50% success with Easy Outs, even drilling the correct sized holes and following the directions to the letter-- maybe I'm just too impatient, don't know, but they usually snap on me.
Last problem I had ...

I hope this link works for y’all
Because this looks brilliant, if it is true and not rigged. I’ve wasted a lot of time and money trying to extract broken bolts and studs with regular extractors. Any thoughts on this?

Re: West Point bans minority clubs of any sort.
I've posted and then deleted replies to this a couple of times already. I am going to put in my 2 cents worth, and maybe leave it.
I attended West Point and graduated in 1979. I'm familiar with how things used to be there, and still have old friends there as instructors or who have kids who ...

Re: New VA sign in
It would seem that the VA is trying to help folks get into the new system. I hope everyone having troubles uses the extra time to get help.
Re: Paul
I’m both amazed and grateful for the fact that some are still eager to put up funds—and especially for Paul for his work, money AND time— when there is so little going on here anymore. I wish there was more conversation, I miss hearing stories and current events. But like with my childhood home, I ...

Re: Looks like a week of 50 degree days.
Wow, nice! We’re supposed to get warmer weather, but for us it looks more like upper 40s to 50s for highs, and still in the 20s for lows. Ok by me, I’m cutting down trees for firewood and 40s are just about perfect.

Re: New VA sign in
Jim,
you ought to try again after you have relaxed a bit. It is hard because it must be secure, and because everyone’s situation is different…yours is particularly difficult because you live OCONUS. You can use your cell or landline phone to authenticate, although I learned just last night that you ...

Re: New VA sign in
Buddy of mine was just on Facebook complaining about the sign in system. Sounds like everyone is having some issues.
Gene
We are. But the concept behind the change is sound, and once it happens it will be better. Up until now, every Federal Agency had a different sign in system. So for ...

Re: Danger during traffic stop
It has been decades since I have been stopped for speeding. But back then, they didn't ask about a gun, and I didn't offer it up. That was 30 years ago.

Nowadays, at least in Maryland and Pennsylvania that I know of, an officer pulling somebody over for any reason has immediate access to ...

Re: Working on the diorama
It is amazing, Paul. I love it all, but the flickering fire is particularly impressive.
