[TheForge] Anyone know why IForgeIron dot com is down?

Pleased you are so far from dead Jerry,,,grin.
My guess is that every gray hair is worth some thousands of lost brain cells..
The tree was just a means to drag you down towards our level.
The new programs get harder to assimilate and small screens harder to read.
Ah well.

Took the mistreated bar of steel that ate 3 drill bits yesterday,
and last thing, heated it well past blue temper color, dull red on the bad spot....let cool slowly
Used the template to locate hole placement on the back side,
and drilled through the previous hard spot, then tapped on through, pretty passably.
Trying to work with a piece of steel with that much history,
i should'a normalized it first.

Disagree away Pete, I don't learn much of anything from folk who always agree.

Slower replying than ever. I'm not only learning Widoz8 but trying to get back up to speed on Sketchup. Seems the ITs have been at it too, it's WAY harder to use than before. Of course it could be the dents in my head but . . .

A couple of the local guys and I are putting together a tire hammer and me being me I'm doing as much fitting and bug killing on the CADD screen rather than the shop floor. We have a nice stack of stock to choose from though some pieces charmingly cool they may be, might not be so workable. I am SOOOO glad I have this project to take my mind off the IFI badness, I love brainstorming.

This is the first time I've done CADD on a laptop and I'm not thrilled. I have a mouse hooked up but it's still a pain, the buttons aren't like I'm used to. So, I took it upstairs to my desk, larger monitor, regular keyboard and TV for background noise. Much better but Sketchup, (hold the fries) is different and it's still frustrating. <Sigh> I guess it's good for my brain. Any idea how much I say that to myself? Keeps me from getting a rifle out or taking a hammer to . . . oh . . . Let's see. . . this stupid laptop computer?

Ahhhh, just saying that made me feel better. <grin>
