The replicator works reasonably well, although we will have to overhaul the standard list of hazardous woods. A few weeks ago, Drew turned a bowl from Betelguese Bubinga and broke out with Klingon Toe Rot. Nasty. The transporter is still in the earliest prototype stage and very buggy. The stuff that we beam out doesn't always come back. Some of us are convinced that the amount of material being lost in research by Engineering is contributing to our backorder situation.
However, we are aware of the problem and will keep you posted.
With all good wishes,
That explains where that half finished whatnot shelf came from.
And the cure for Klingon Toe Rot is prune juice, LOTS of prune juice.
By the way, at warp Z, will it repair our mistakes before we make them as well?"

I would love to actually finish a project before you start it. That would free up a lot of time for more projects.

Wow Nick,
Thanks for explaining the back order issue. Now I understand why Jan said there is no date available for my clamps to arrive. I figured it was due to your superior samesmanship on the Sawdust sessions. Jim

I still need my 7yr old granddaughter to program my cell phone. I don't turn off my computer, so I don't have the challenge of rebooting. I guess I could give up on scroll saw stuff and get a C&C (is that right...computer lazer cutter, and do it perfect every time). Naw, count me out on the iSS. Maybe an upgrade to a 520, and I'm really looking forward to adding a Sandflee. Also hope to get into some turning at the July traveling academy. But I'll skip the iSS stuff.

I have always been a Star Trek fan. My wife is knot. She does like cats, however. If you have ever owned a cat, you will appreciate this story. Litter-box trained cats do knot always get all of there...stuff...in the litter box. Sometimes it just hangs on their fir and they walk around with it...there, if you know what I mean, until my wife cleans it off. Well, my wife calls those items cling-ons. I always think of the Klingons of Star Trek whenever she mentions the cling-ons. I get a good laugh, as the Star Trek Klingons are really thought of the same way the cat's cling-ons are!!!:D
