    It was ever thus @Matt-Aburg. If you want to free up your own time, you gotta pay someone else. If you want to reduce cost, you gotta do more yourself. I used to use WebEasy and I liked the total control. But the world has switched to more powerful tools, so I had to make a choice. WordPress...

    Tips/Techniques Making the Square Drive hole in a custom socket.

    Ya, I figure that I could have made that in about 4 hours, but 4 days with the boys was amazing - even with the challenges. The goodbye hugs when they left with the finished tool were noticeably tighter and loving. I'm very happy.

    Yes, it was discussed here a bit. I'm not a small engine modeller, but I did design full scale engines for a part of my career. I think it can be done if you accept a bag full of compromises. But it's only a matter of time before model engines have to meet emission standards too. I say that with...

    I think the biggest problem with an HTML website is adapting to the users screen size. You would be better off using WordPress which is supported almost everywhere now.

    You are crazy. I can't imagine anything better than bacon with any of that stuff. Of course, I take the pickles out of my hamburgers so why not that other stuff too. Yup, a bacon/sardines/pickle sandwich sounds AMAZING after I pitch the pickles and sardines.......

    There is salami and then there is salami. My bride is Italian. So she likes her salami. My favorite is thin sliced Genoa Salami. That's stuff is awesome with or without the rest of the sandwich...... But I'd argue that the most versatile meat choice isn't Salami. In fact not even Genoa Salami...

    We lived beside a railway freight line for many years. You get so used to them passing by that you actually wake up when they DON'T go by on schedule. One time, a long time ago, an engine broke down beside my house and they lost their coolant. They knocked on the door and asked if they could...
