If he was here today he'd lose his mind....

Sounds like you need a beer, my friend....

I've been getting a ton of those "this is the IRS calling, we've issued a warrant for your attest....blah blah blah" calls lately too. Dirty pricks.

If they worked half as hard at a job as they do being crooks they might be productive members of society.

I've had the military story given to me before too. Scum bags.

[ryanjones2150]

I need one of those...

I just googled that question, not welding on the space shuttle, but quenching hot welds, and it got really in-depth and complicated really fast. Since my attention span is about a half second today, I managed...

Went with the 3M DP8010 for the following reasons:

Ease of application, it has a mixing tip and dispensing gun. Both sold separately, of course.
