Subject: SPACESHIP ALUMINUM SCRAP IS A JOKE FOLKS

I apologize for having to post this. I have received several replies 
asking for more information on the 'SPACESHIP ALUMINUM" I purported to 
have for sale.
I keep forgetting to include smiley's in these posts.
Ah, sometimes the High Humor of rec.crafts.metalworking gets a bit out 
of hand. ( :^) - :^) - :^) ) so there is no mistaking this.

Now you tell us.  I've spent the last few days (18 hour days - I might
add!) drawing up the plans for my very own personal spaceship.  It was to
be my only Christmas present to myself.  Well, thanks for ruining my
holiday ;-)

I think he's holding onto it for his own spacecraft!  He heard there was
an alien craft powered by 8 reindeer and wanted to do one better with his
own motor.  ;)))

I am shocked that a Firm the I thought respectable would have Diet Pepsi
on the premises... how do you expect to do quality work (either Computer or
machine shop) without Jolt Cola... or at a pinch Mountian Dew...

Awaiting word that the Pepsi in question was left by a visiting salesman
(in a lesiure suit and matching white plastic shoes and belt no doubt) to
restore my  confidance in Harvey inc.

As a saving grace, however, I can readily admit to drinking Deli Coffee 
that has sat on the table of the Bridgeport for more than a day. This 
alone, should buy me some absolution.

Jim,

You know, there was a time when I was hoping to get to meet you
somehow, perhaps at the NAMES show.  Now I'm not so sure.

You are one sick puppy!!! ;-}

I've often found, after 14-16 straight hours of staring at chips, that
a small bottle of ol Jack Daniels is in order. What the hell, don't 
have to worry about customers commin round at 2 am.

BLAST!  (an exclamation--not an order) ... I was just designing a
*huge* astrolabe powered by a radial engine to be built out of
the stuff and now I will have to change my design to make use of
commercially available adamantite and neutronium........Any suggestions
on how to machine antimatter on an old logan?

Mithril might be more readily available than adamantite.

Humm, I think perhaps if it is used to wash down handfuls of NoDoz pills...
I have been know to drink the odd flagon of Schweppes Bitter Lemon on a
hot summer day to keep the malaria in check but only if the daily intake of

caffine is on track as well...

the essence of this list is caffine content... spindle oil of the brain...

>have to worry about customers commin round at 2 am.

Humm well if we are to move this thread to what we drink after the machines
are turned off for the day... the fingers and other important body parts
inventoried and accounted for, then we have a much larger list to choose
from...

I am rather partal to Bottle conditioned beer or real ale (cask
conditioned) I used to make my own but now I have friendly local micro
brewer who will fill my 2.5 gal "party pigs" with the real ale of the
day... they condition/settle for a few days and then I have them nicely
cooled (about 50 to 55f) in an unheated part of the basement not too far
>from  the shop...

and pure malt scotch would be my first choice for spirits...

the lights down low in the shop.

Aww... and here I was, getting together an order for some of that there
"spaceship" aluminum. I only was tangentially involved with the Appollo
birds, and I don't really call them spaceships, anyway. Shucks.
