I didn't think the pervasiveness of the Crack Pipe Dream, was so established out that way.

If that lathe, as pictured, was listed for $1K, AND was local, I doubt I would cross my very small town for a look.

And this from a fella that has got up in the morning (at 0-dark stupid) and driven five hours to go to an auction and not bought anything...
 
...and I paid $1400 for both Lana... AND Betty.

And they both came from Peachland too!... WTF??

We all need to take a drive to Peachland, have a cold one at the Duck and Pug and then take buddy out behind the woodshed to teach him a lesson for being so abusive to equipment.

I sent a nice message to the vendor of my machines, thanked him again for the good deal and showed him the rehab process
He was appreciative
