April 23, 20188 yr Thanks Bob, I'm getting better at realizing when I'm going down that road and turning to happy thoughts. However if I COULD go back 30 years or so I can think of a couple stocks I might drop a few thou on. 4 hours ago, Anachronist58 said: I've never seen a grinder that had to be started with a pony motor!!!

When I was working in the art restoration studio, I once had to turn a large-diameter mirror frame on a woefully underpowered and undersized lathe. The only way I was able to do it was to jam a lance-like tool (one that I'd made out of a stonecarver's point, for turning alabaster) into a hole in the faceplate, get the thing spinning with muscle power, turn on the lathe motor, work the frame until the vibration started to get scary, turn off the motor, do some more work on the frame as it coasted down, and repeat. The things we do to put bread on the table.

April 26, 20188 yr One of the many reasons I stopped working there. (Although turning alabaster lampshades was a lot of fun.)
April 26, 20188 yr The habit the paychecks had of bouncing occasionally was another. A few months after I left, one of my coworkers had to go to the ER and discovered that the boss hadn't paid the health insurance for six months, so the coverage had lapsed.

April 26, 20188 yr Paychecks are one thing; but if you find out that haven't been paying the taxes withheld from your checks---time to FLEE!
