Re: 618 milling attachment jaw plates
¿ªÔÆÌåÓý
Puerto Rico is a lot of fun as a tourist. No idea how it is as a resident. Beach, dance, drink, repeat probably gets old after a few years.

Nope. NOT HAPPENING!!! Can't blame a guy for trying, but I'll put it in the bathroom if nothing else works. My wife was trying to persuade me to move to Puerto Rico a while back so my retirement pay would stretch farther. Then she said "Of course we'll
have to sell your tool..." didn't get to finish the sentence. I told her if we do that, the tools are the first thing to get packed. Told her we could throw away every bit of furniture we had, and not miss it. The tools would likely be impossible to replace.
And if I don't have them, I don't have any reason to be anymore. What I do, for fun and profit, is fix stuff & make stuff. Since then she's been aiding and abetting me. Heck, she made the deal to buy my SB Heavy 10L restoration project. So I owe her a bit
more in the kitchen department, among other places. I did buy her a $4K bed. Though it would really be easier to move to someplace with a proper shop building and decent kitchen space. For both of us.

We don't even HAVE a kitchen table right now. And if we did, there'd be no place to put it, as our kitchen is a pit. It's more like a hallway to the back door. There is what we used to call a dining room, around the corner, but the refrigerator and the
shelves we use as a pantry, some cabinets that have the pots, pans, dishes, and some food, and her sewing area use up all of that space and then some. I keep getting these letters telling me some idiot wants to pay cash for my house. One of these days I may
just call one of them and see what they're offering. There are only three of us eating here, these days, so it's not as bad as when the girls were here, but this place is too small for us and our junk. I'm trying to trim some of my junk, so I can fit it in
the space I have.

SWMBO tolerates my hobbies because I also use them to fix thing she needs fixed. Also, I equate her kitchen (cooking is her major hobby) as her workshop, and try not to stint her on the things she needs for it. The first Damascus bladed knives in the house
were for her kitchen, for example. She has a new range that's being delivered Friday, and as soon as I can figure out exactly what we need, she's getting a new counter top mounted about 6"-8" lower than the current one.
