Bob--your comment about starting technical posts---I have been sitting on the thought about starting a series on the maintenance/tooling upkeep on the shop machinery that it takes to do the machining on engines---you know, not stuff you can get from Harbor Freight, but the shop tools/machines--and of course, the constant battle of keeping it working with so much stuff being from companies that have either gone out of business OR MOVED ON to CNC stuff which really takes them out of the picture for small shops(someone who isn't supporting an army of vehicles ala Hendricks, Roush, etc---

We recently had a guy try out with us for a short period of time who couldn't read a conventional mike!!!!and thought 7/16 was bigger than 5/8------

It is unbelievable how hard it is just to go get a few normal bolts these days----

That would be great!! I do this for a hobby so any tech on tooling or tips from the pros would be great!! I myself do not post that often because I type with one finger and butcher the english language,but read and lurk every day. I lurk at the hamb site and usually am in tears from laughing when reading some posts. Learned alot on this site so I THANK ALL OF YOU! keep it coming!! Pete
