That's fine. Send me a PM to let me know how much it's going to be. It might become the winter project. I just want the blue coat off and make it look shiny.

Would I be able to ship you the pieces in a small box? I live in Hibbing, about 3.5 hours away from the cities.

Ben, those calipers are heavy. When I shipped mine to Atlanta to have them done, I had to make sure they were clean and didn't have any fluid or contaminants in them. The box has to be able to withstand the weight of those things and not fall apart from shipping.

I was expecting a headline of

"Steve of St. Michael, MN was arrested today on 7 accounts of child kidnapping, abuse, and rape. The victims' names will not be released, as all victims were under the age of 12.

When asked about the ripped piece of blue and white underwear on his nightstand, Steve replied, "I take a big sniff and it helps me fall asleep"

Steve will be appearing in court August 25. He has hired a lawyer."

You know how Asians cook. A little of this, a dash of that.... all done w/no recipe.

I used tomatoes, garlic, celantro, jalapenos, home grown peppers, white onions, sea salt, home grown mint leaves, and a little bit of water. Boil until soft, then blend and mix to taste.

Speaking of "hot chics", there's appears to be an exclusive "hot chic" beer-fest going on across the street from me as we speak. Every chic walking into that house have been gurgling down beer on a beer bong. I need my dress.

Good stuff Steve. It seems that you took a pic in the mirror tho... So what do they say? I can make out "Grace" on the bottom.
