I placed an internet order to the MS early evening on the 25, Monday, band saw bearing upgrade kit, paper manual, and a set of cool blocks. I paid extra for the medium shipping speed, it will be here Friday according to tracking. I have always been happy with her. I do realize some things from what I have read here are made after block order amounts have been ordered, and I understand that. After all it is, SS and its parts, I would consider a more of a custom/specialty product in the mass produced, throw away, made in China world.

I got my stuff today from the MS. Ordered on the 22nd and delivered on the 28th and that included a Sat and Sun. I don't think that is bad service.

On a rotary phone.....getting to the last digit and misdialing! Argh...LOL We don't even have to remember phone numbers anymore. Although, I do have my home, cell, and wife's cell memorized.

I thought I had my phone numbers memorized - especially my wife's cell and the home phone. It wasn't until a short while back when I was hospitalized and wanted to call my wife that I realized I did not know those numbers as I thought. Several "wrong numbers" convinced me.

I finally made contact - by calling my cell phone. Now the reason why I remembered my cell phone number and no others escapes me.
