Look at the bright side, Rich. You raised kids and have experience.

Re-morning greetings everyone.
The results of this morning's dentist and doctor visits are as follows.
I still have all my teeth and they did not rush me right to the hospital after my physical.
11 bells and all is well.
Carry on.

They won't return my emails, I've sent three so I'm gonna back off and see what happens. On Friday I got outbid on a 220 TON Press brake. The guy who bought it paid about $10k more than it's worth. He got what I call "auction fever" Inexperienced people get their panties in a wad over one item and just make foolish bids...

Easy come easy go. I'm flying to OK in two weeks for another auction hopefully I'll find a machine at a reasonable price.

I've gotten auction fever my first few times bidding on things... It turned into a competition rather than rational thought.

I had to look up press brake. 220 tons... that'll take your finger off.

MarkyDOS,
My phone has been giving me a bunch of these lately in differing sequences when I am posting to our forum. I've even done a hard reset recently to clean everything up.
Any advice on dealing with these pesky reoccurring notices? They won't even allow you to do the back button to get back where you were (Android).
Thanks!


Oooooofff....
