I admit I was wrong.

Post by fredsheldon »

Ok, I'm man enough to admit when I was wrong. I predicted that there would be 5,000 Eboli cases in the USA in 14 days. I missed it by 4,997 :( I suspect I should be banned :0

Just proves how the media can sensationalize, not trivial, but certainly not critical info into something that sells .... :rolleyes:

Admin, is this reason enough to banish someone!

Seriously, Fred, I'm MIGHTY GLAD you were wrong! Especially, with you in the "home" state. (Or, ground zero.)

10 ER, stripped down.
Basic 10ER, Parts machine. Will be a semi-dedicated drill-press machine.
10 ER, a "survivor" of the trailer fire, in the back yard, needing restoration. Has a Mk5 headrest. Finally, stripped down.
Numerous parts, for Model 10 stuff. Except for lower saw guard, A and B adapters, I've got it.

Looking for one more, or some 9 inch extension table raisers.

It ain't over yet. Another case was reported today.
Waiting for the the shoe to drop.

Also did you notice the body of the guy that died was cremated and Texas wanted to send the ashes to a landfill in Louisiana. Louisiana said no way. Apparently they don't buy into the theory that the ashes are Ebola free. Perhaps we haven't been told everything as of yet.

Perhaps those folks in La are just being cautious.:cool:

How are they 'disposing' of remains in Liberia???:confused:

Instead of bombing the ISIS rebels, why don't we just round up a 100 or so of those infected folks from Liberia and smuggle them into their camps. Let nature take it's course without expending a single shot. All we have to do is set up camp on all the roads leading out of that hell hole and capture them one at a time as they try to escape. Who knows, they may be plotting to do the same to us.

You 'volunteering' to do the 'capturing'?:D

FWIW 'They' do not need any help plotting their objectives.:eek:

Trust me, nothing survives the cremation process. Not bacteria, not virus, not prion. After cremation, everything is inorganic. 38 years in the business!
