Going to issue a correction. Typing up that last post made me wonder if I can look up order status for that lip seal and see if it's stuck somewhere. I looked up my order, and the price per meter was actually only $1. So cheap, in fact, that I ordered two different profiles just to cover more...

Sorry. Left you hanging again, didn't I? I'm decently well, I guess. Been sick a lot this year, plus work has been really crazy. Maybe those two things are related... Unfortunately, you're still pretty caught up on getting the Hurco back together, although there's a bit of backstory left to...

So here's a question: What the hell is that!?... It's what I asked myself as I examined the machine with the covers off. This is the exact same nylon tubing that feeds oil to the various bits and bobs on the machine, only it's coming out of the back of the saddle and going to... nothing...

Alright, this is probably going to be the biggest update from the last several months. The good news is there'll be plenty of pictures. It started with the Christmas pool table. When I built the shop, the plan from the beginning was for it to be a shop. I pictured a situation like what I...

Okay, I have time to chip away at the list of updates a bit... There's an interesting cultural phenomenon that's happening, at least in my area: Teenage boys are super into fishing. I would have never predicted that. I've loved fishing my whole life, and I've been taking my kids fishing since...

"Greener" is really hard to find, unfortunately. I may complain about it, but there's not much around here that pays better for a college dropout like me. If that weren't the case, I would have no problem complaining to LNI, as I would have far less to lose. Maybe some day, after the kids are...

Awesome stuff, gearhead (thanks, sincerely), but trust me when I say I'm well studied on this subject. I'm fairly confident that most of the exempt staff where I work probably shouldn't be, and I'm not alone in that understanding. We're all above salary threshold, but Washington differs from...

Since I was last updating this thread, I've also been busy on a house project, some shop stuff, and there's major (and expensive) Hurco news/activities. I've put that out there, so now I HAVE to post about it! Accountability... Out of time for this weekend, though.

You ever had a friend that moved away, and you want to call and catch up, but they're out of sight and out of mind, so there's always something more pressing to do, pushing that call to catch up further and further out? Then, it gets pushed out so far that it starts to get awkward, so you're...

Yeah, it's funny: I was at my son's soccer tryout last night, and at least three different people brought up the neighborhood cougar without me prompting, to which I got to respond, "Do you want to see a blurry picture!?" He's making quite the headlines. About three weeks ago, the other dad in...

It's been a while. I could ramble on (and I might sometime soon), but I'm going to lead with my interesting morning. MGT heard the dog barking and sent me to investigate because I was closer. I went to the door thinking, "Great, what's she going to be derping on about this time?" Opened the...

First off, thanks for the kind words! Unfortunately, I'm afraid I'm going to let you down for a while on that last bit. You never know what's going to pop up, but I'm guessing this is going to be my last update here for at least a couple of months. For the past year or so, a snowball in my...

No pun intended, right?

I had another vacation this last week, this time heading to the Washington coast. The weather was **** for the first couple of days, so I had time to sit down and catch up on things. My proudest achievement was getting caught up on Bob Heine's Auto Emporium! I think you probably work harder...

Like I said, I replaced my ripper mill with a similar version from Haas (thanks again, @slodat). The problem with the Korloy is that the entire kit is far cheaper than just buying a new... whatever you call the main body part of the tool. I was going to just replace it with another full kit...
