Here's what bites my donut this week....

Went online to work out how to fix something around the house.

Found the first two videos, showing the process involved to do what needed doing.

Each video had compelling reasoning, and good information.

The two videos were diametrically opposed in their suggestions of what to do and what not to do.

Damn, I hate the Internet sometimes.

You know when you're a kid and somebody asks, "gee can I give it a go?"

FX-10 stuffed into a curb, punches the front arms through the tub!

Blackfoot stuffed into the tire of a parked car, shatters the body!

Tamiya Ford 4WD wanders off into a pond!

The last two were my brother. It was like letting Chet from Weird Science drive them.
Hope you're doin' something fun.

Answering emails that go something (exactly) like this:

Do you still make this? I would be interested in 10-20 of them

No, but I'll reach out and see what I can do, i think I know where one exists that I can borrow.

-13 back and forth questions about stupid stuff that doesn't matter but I have to be nice and answer or I lose a customer-

Ok, sourced the part to get the measurements from, I will get it drawn up and they will be ready to ship Monday. I'll list them on our website.

Sounds great I just ordered ONE

Ok it will ship Monday

Can you please cancel my order, the person I was buying the truck from cancelled the order

-the part wasn't out loud..... Mothe######## son of a ##### ####### dumb ### time wasting jerk off-

When I was making custom Airsoft guns I had a lot of this , notably a guy in South Africa wanting a Maxim belt fed ww1 machine gun , over a month of my spare time .......
If a jobs not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well.

Derricks kingcab stealth adapter plates. Derrick supplied me his files since he doesn't have access to CNC anymore and I did a bunch of mods to make them easier to use and easier for me to fabricate. He had a couple pieces that he machined from aluminum that I was able to delete with workarounds.

I have great empathy with anyone that works with the general public in a business sense. One of the biggest mistakes I ever made in life was doing house call computer repair.

It is both challenging and rewarding at the same time. I spent all weekend working, but also can take time when I want and do what I want. Plus I can fill orders in my underwear and the customer will never know :shock: :lol:
