Machinist School : The best stuff for burns, bites, poison ivy and other skin problems!

Redneck Remedy is a skin lotion for burns, bug bites, poison ivy, and many other irritations of the outer shell of the human being.
It even works on Leta Mae's occasional outbursts of shingles.

Here is the website:

http://www.redneckremedy.com/

The inventor is a relative of a friend ...... his name is Dr. Glenn Wood. He is a pharmacist.

The product works exceptionally well and is expertly packaged. The website looks nice but I have been unable to purchase using PayPal using the normal clicking technology suggested by the site. However, it is possible to order by phone or maybe through the contact portion of the site. Some of the stores carry Redneck Remedy, others "used to but it didn't sell very well so they didn't order more." The site lists stores and the phone numbers of the stores ..... call first.
If you want a "sunburn crème" that is a pharmaceutical star for any kind of burn, Redneck Remedy is the one to chose.

Check out the active and "inactive" ingredients. The blend of ingredients is well chosen.
When something is wrong with my skin ........ that's what I use.
Quack, Quack!

Machinist School - N-appropriate in action!


In language class, you will learn that you should use synonyms.
Don’t just say idiot, use other words. I used to use the word “More-off”.
After all, a moron could not possibly be More “On”.
But nowadays, the epitome of society has decided that “stupid” and its synonyms are “evil”.
Don’t call somebody crazy, nutty, stupid, delirious, moronic ……. None of that!
Instead, use the N word,
N-appropriate means unsuitable for a given situation.
If you look up the word “stupid” on google, you will find lots of synonyms BUT N-appropriate is not included.
Of course, if you tell someone, “That is N-appropriate,” they want to know “What is so N-appropriate about it?”
There are two basic causes for N-appropriate: 1) lack of thought  2) lack of suitable action   ……. In other words, stupid.
So, to be correct, there is but one word to use for stupidity and its synonyms: N-appropriate.
How n-appropriate is that?
Oh, by the way, he is not wearing a hard hat .... probably not even steel toed shoes!

Machinist School - The Long & Short of IT .....

In the measuring trade, they say that things that are used to measure with .... they are called "metrics" ..... The rest of us call it .....  "it".
The computer folks think IT is "information technology".
If you look at the rule above ...... it is metric in nature. Instead of the major graduations being divided into halves and quarters ............ it is divided into fifths.

Machinist School - NCPlot program

Nate, programmer at Technical Machining sent this
CNC Machinists/programmers: NCPlot released their new software that simulates NC code. It also recognizes Macro programming, and allows you to keep track of your variables throughout the program. For anyone that is looking to get a better understanding of macro CNC programming or just basic programming, this is a great tool for proving your programs. There's a 15 day free trial, and a very reasonable $300 to purchase. To put things in perspective, the software we run at work for simulation is $10k, but it has complete machine simulation with 3d solid capabilities.

Machinist School - Boydston's Copper Cookie Cutter

Sometimes called a "rule die", a piece of thin metal can be shaped to form cutters. Sometimes they are used to cut out greeting cards. But in this instance, it is DUCKS!

Machinist School - the Boydston Drill Press

Do you ever need a bigger drill press table? More places to clamp things? Something you could weld parts to? Sometimes a new-improved table is the key!

1. FLU
2. Cravings for pickled eggs

The easiest formula for pickled eggs we found was:
1. boiled and shelled eggs
2. 1 quart vinegar
3. 2 tablespoons salt

What I did was:
1. boiled and shelled eggs
2. 1 quart vinegar
3. 4 tablespoons salt
4. 1 tablespoon allspice
5. 1 tablespoon ground garlic
6. 1 tablespoon red pepper

We both ate pickled eggs. The next day ..... no more FLU.

Whether or not they cure anything, they are tasty.
