WHAT ARE YOU DOING TODAY (PICS)

[Giles]

My new Japanese Mandolin is impressively sharp.....

So sharp, that I did not notice I had sliced the tip off another finger. I could not understand where all the blood was coming after I patched up the thumb, so had another look....

@scooter …so you’re in Gosport setting up a cleaning station for @Giles to clean his fishing gear after a weeks trip?

I wish...

If only they came with finger guards, eh?

[dinobarnesberlin]

Bloody hell--looks like some "Stephen King" book

[ARNC]

@Giles I was bracing myself for what was to come long before I scrolled to the pics. Hope you still have at least some fingers at the end of the day!

[Tago Mago]

@ARNC whatever happens @Giles will always be able to use at least two of his fingers

Yeah, if only......

[goosehd]

@Giles …but only if it had some kind of warning on it, like “watch your fingers”. I think you have a potential lawsuit…

[Giles]

It was just a test run, what could possibly go wrong.....

@Giles famous last words

@scooter now this looks familiar- same with the NDA factor

Tradesman ?

[GraemeE]

@scooter i let the people who are smarter and more talented than than me do the actual installing but i stare at the plans/specs and polish turds for a full mechanical outfit

[scooter]

@GraemeE Hey, the world needs turd polishers, too. I hope you're not the one dropping the deuce, in the first place, though?

[GraemeE]

@scooter no that would be the mechanical engineers.....

Mechanical engineer's famous last words...

Well, it looked good on paper.

At one time, I had given thought to pursuing a degree. But, I'm a fitter, and far too realistic to live in utopia...

[Matt]

@giles, of all people, should know better than to free hand a mandolin. Of course if he knew better I guess he wouldn’t be Giles.

@scooter the other one for ME's - when putting 1st articles together "well, it worked in CAD"

@Mizmazzle - for the Nets game on Sunday, I bought tickets from the UK for my son and myself. The crowd was kinda sparse until the later stages when the place magically filled up - but there were still empty seats.

Due to the rain in NYC yesterday we (the fam) decided to do the MSG stadium tour which was great. I knew there was a game that evening (short schedule NBA Cup game) but my daughter surprisingly asked if we could get tickets. We asked at the ticket office but the only available were high up behind one end - so not great. We then checked out the Ticketmaster Resale and got 2 pairs in the same block. There were plenty of free seats at the start but they soon filled up - much earlier than on Sunday.

No love lost for Trae Young that’s for sure, but then he did get his own back after starting poorly…he owned the second half…and the crowd, unfortunately.

I have now seen 5 major sporting events in the US and yet to see a home win. I’m available for hire to sort out the NFL Pool!!!
