I always use the line " anything that makes oney with as little as possible that does not"... In reality we are about 55-60 % firearms parts ( non government private owned weapons, although I have quoted government work), about 10% contract stamping, the rest general tool and die including weld fixtures, progressive tools, single station pierce and / or form tools, whatever the customer is willing to pay for. we also do some semi custom molding tools for a customer occasionally, but that work is sporadic. I like progressive tools, they are an cool to build.

Mark, Sorry to hear about your dad. The elderly routinely fall for these scams. Not sure why that is. We went through a similar situation with my wifes great aunt a few years ago. Not nearly to the scale you are though. I feel for you.

Thank you, let me tell you how badly hooked he is right now. He asked the social worker at his nursing home to loan him 5k and he would pay back 5 mil., that was the story yesterday. Today my sister found out the actual figures were 15k will get the social worker 15 mil. Just think, this old man is running around loose free to do whatever he wants. The FBI and a shrink were supposed to visit him today but it did not happen for some reason.

Eww.

You haven't missed anything super dramatic...I mean no butt pictures or anything..

Here's the rundown:

Mark's dad is caught up in a Nigerian money scam, he and his sister can't seem to convince him otherwise. The members here have been trying to help Mark think of new ways to try and convince his dad that it's all a big scam.

Scott made more steak and posted pictures of course, and it made Cris hungry.

Brandon likes him some good boundin and I'm jealous of him because he got to have dinner with Toby Keith one time.

Joe wants a margarita so bad there are probably little salted margarita glasses dancing around in his dreams.

I had to move Randy this weekend, and he had a lot more stuff than anticipated, so I was complaining about it a lot. I hate moving.

A good lot of us are Metallica AC/DC fans, and have began discussing trying to get together to go to a concert. Lots of music-related discussion.

Dan is prepping for a trip to Yellowstone.

Jeremy is so wrapped up in his de-stroking project, we're not even sure he sleeps anymore.

I'm definitely no Barry, but I hope that will suffice.

It's Jason's recipe and I am the one that tried it out and then posted about it. You use Pepsi and Tiger Sauce while grilling Bratwurst. They are out of this world good.

I would not dream of making a suggestion like that. The lady has a plenty full plate as it is right now. If you're too lazy to keep up with it yourself just don't read it.

It's all good fellas. I'm kinda surprised any of you listen to anything I type here. I'm full of crap you know.

I don't mind being on here, It gives me a mental break from all of my deadlines and lackluster assignments. These government proposals are driving me crazy!
