    I didn't know his dad was getting a lathe too Never been in the military - would be a 4-f (I think that's right?), but have nothing but the utmost respect for them.
    You guys are freaking hilarious. And Dewey, you better let go of that bomb because you are sinking fast.
    It’s only work if somebody makes you do it.

    Okay Dewey...Here's the scoop...

    I just got back from the Fedex office. The Fedex Ground has an unmanned office. So I took the lathe to the Fedex Air office which is about 5 blocks from my house. The Fedex Ground people pickup there at around 1600 PDT daily. The lathe (in a box) was shipped on Fedex Ground bill # 045781710066021. It won't be in their system until sometime later today or maybe even tomorrow. The box is insured for $700.

    The lathe and the 26" bed extension are screwed to a piece of reinforced plywood. I put owners manual for both the lathe and the bed extension in there along with a spare drive belt, on/off switch and motor brushes. I wrapped the 9" donut chuck with bubble wrap. There is one faceplate attached to the donut chuck and another faceplate wrapped with bubble wrap. Be sure to open anything and inspect all bubble wrap.

    Later, if you decide to get a Jamieson captured HF rig, let me know and I"ll ship you the secondary rest. There was no really safe or convenient way to put it in this box and keep it from beating everything else to pieces.

    It's on the way Dewey!

    Great Ken...now the whole creek can track the bombs whereabouts. I am sure not to lose it now! Thanks for the packing job. Sounds like it was no treat!

    Doesn't NORAD have one of those tracking stations where we can watch the progress on TV? I mean I see it work every year on Christmas Eve! Maybe you could pull a few strings so we all can watch it's progress!?!

    I don't know...
    Calling up NORAD and asking them to track a bomb being launched from Idaho, may, just may, get someone in trouble
    But it sure would be funny!

    Always thought that was what they were supposed to track! Besides, Dewey would just say it was a package for him and it would be no big deal.

    Dewey,

    Someone must have posted your address all over restroom walls all over the country.

    You have stuff coming from all over the place...Not just Idaho!

    I'm having Austin Powers images of a slow motion bomb heading towards Dewey's place while Ken sits in his shop laughing like Dr. Evil. But you know what they say...a mind is a terrible thing!

    Congrats Dewey. Looking forward to some pics!
