Ray if I knew where to get those I'd use them. Fortunately it's November in New England and it's about refrigerator temperature outside so I don't think it'll melt on me.

Just a few things to say, so here goes...and yes, I've been drinking...
We've all been there, no need to tell her...She's hot and thats that...
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! I love it brother.
I shake everyones hand, men, women, whatever, the same. Always have. Now, usually a girl will wimp out and give you the half assed shake, which I then loosen on, but usually, its the usual firm grip.
I'm all hands on!!! lol
Some guys will try to break your hand, but thats just lame. It's like walking on the beach with a speedo. Yea, we get it, you need to prove something pal.....
The funny thing is, those guys that try to crush my hand, get a quick look from me and the I turn on the vise-grip. Good luck hurting my hand pal...dumb ***...
well said my friend, well said. I have nothing to prove until I need to....
Thats awesome Dan, well put.
Yep, we started that way for sure....
WHAT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Depends on the guy. I know when I was climbing frequently, my handshake was VERY firm, but not crushing. Some guys, when they feel you are all limp wristed, will suddenly try to crank down on you... and by doing so, simple emphasize how big of a puss they really are...
g'morning all!!
g'morning all!!
It doesn't happen very often and when it does, without exception, I wonder what they are trying to prove.
You can have great physical strength, but without self control and finesse, you are only one step above a gorilla.
Climbing will definately strengthen your grip - your very life depends upon it.
But again, why break the other's hand just to prove it?
I turn wrenches for a living and have a very well developed grip, but never try and show it off. Just enough to let them know that I am heterosexual.

Yeah I know but if you want to participate in the OT it's kind of not with the comaraderie (sp?) intended. I hesitate to say "rude" but a first name isn't exactly a national security type of thing you know? 
End of that rant. Sorry, I don't mean to be offensive FF but we really started as a really close knit group.

g'mornin' all!!
Pete - ever heard of Knox Blocks? very similar to jello but I think they hold up in warmer temps a little better. They'd have less give than say, wadded up newspaper, so my idea would be wadded up newspaper then some knox blocks inside the inner box. When wadding the newspaper maybe using scotch tape and crunching some tighter than others would help.
Jim - get Will to use a real camera!!
Brent - i KNEW you'd appreciate that link!
I start work Monday. My clearance FINALLY came through, so now it's back to the grind! (and funding for mods!!!)

Thanks Lisa, I dont take a lot of pictures, when I found this one, I thought I would share. Had a few others with her and I at Wine tasting trip, but this one was less staged.
Seems to me another thing that might work for you would be diapers.. like huggies or pampers, soak a couple of those things, they swell up 3 to 4 times their size, and they have a jello like feel to them.
Oh I know Mark, it is because of the meeting I have had with you, Rich, and yeah I guess I will include William, that I am looking forward to meeting the rest of the group.
Okay, I having to much fun today.. something has to give. Our shop has started new hours, where MOST of the day shift works 4 10's, and then we have a weekend shift that works 3 10's. Sinc my department is a service department, we still work 5 8's.
Anyhow, I have just got done calling all o fthe other supervisors who are at home, just to make sure they are still in bed, and know not to come in today.. I managed to wake 2 of them..
