[TheForge] Machinery needs to go...

[Andy Vida]

Bob,

I've written to Mike.  Not heard back yet.  Dunno if he's in town or on
the road.  As for $$, a money order or cashier's check would be best
for time purposes.  Also, Jim Binnion over on Artmetal was interested in
the Van Norman and I said I'd give him first crack, but if you want the
South Bend, it's yours.  BTW, if you have Mike's home phone, could you
send it please?  thanks.  I've been in idiot mode these past few months
and apparently I tossed his numbers.

Thanks.  

Regards,

	-0Andy

	A sense of Good Enough is one of the tools you need in your shop.
	I'll tell you, the gods will spot you 90%.  Then, if you like, you may
work
	it up a little, you'll maybe get 96%, if you're real good, 98%.  Be
	satisfied.  That last 2% is Heaven's prerogative.  If it's granted,
offer
	prayers and praises, but on no account try to force your way up there.
	Points will ALWAYS be deducted for Hubris.
