Fingers crossed, hoping to pick it up tomorrow midday. ‘No holds’.

I'm praying for you! And I won't call any of the guys up there to grab it for me! LOL!

Who you call is your business.... Just sayin!
 
Didn’t work out, unfortunately. I was tied up until close to four loading a van with ~3000 lbs of books (my reason for being up there in the first place), and had zero cell reception to get a hold of the seller. Gone by the time I was back in cell range. :/

I’m not worked up about it, though. While I’m sure I would have used the boring head eventually, it was speculative. By quick estimate, I’ve spent ~ $15k on my home shop this year. Maybe time to set aside a little money for boring but unexpected things, like, I dunno, dental work. (my teeth are fine, to my knowledge. I’ve agreed to loan a friend $5k for her kid’s teeth, though, so…)
 
…if they don’t have insurance. I’ll be eligible in 2025, as I don’t, but her ex has minimal coverage (I think it covers up to $3000) through his work. They have to pay up front, though, and wait for reimbursement, so I’m fronting her.
Most dentist here won't touch it as they would lose money on every filling
 
I had that exact set and let it go down here . Nice piece , up there with the Wohlhaupters .
