Whenever you want. I'm home sick today and will probably also be home sick for the next two days. You have my number, just check to make sure I'm home and give me like an hour's notice.

I used one like that for quite a while. It wasn't the same brand, I can't remember what brand I had. I welded a lot of crap with that sucker.

Seems like a good price and has some good reviews.

I like the fact that it is small and will take a 10lb spool where most of the small ones only take a 2lb spool

I never noticed the 10lb role you can put on. Mine was just the small role. I definitely like that better.

Looks quite good to me. I should pick one of those up sometime again. They are handy having the 110 outlet.

I had both rear motors replaced on mine, had one go bad within 3 months, then the other started acting up, both ran really slow.

I'm just not using the back windows for now. I really need to tear out all the wiring for the rear doors and re-do it all before i start replacing anything else. For now I have 3 electric locks that work and the front windows work. No worries with that in the winter, but it would be nice to have all 4 work in the summer (and the a/c which I never got figured out when it broke).

Of course, my motorcycle is getting all the miles right now. 1/3 the fuel cost and less than 1/3 the parking costs on campus (and better parking spots).

That's dedication right there. I'm a few hours south of you and I would already have given up riding a bike. It's gotten too darn cold for that.

In the winter I stay in the warmth of my cab with my heated seat pad...

Trouble with the 10lb roll is it getting wire off of a tangled spot and stopping. If the roll isn't wound real well it will slide the rollers trying to get the wire thru even if you adjust the tension on the feed rollers.
