Rep we have something in common. You run a CNC machine And I use the old black smith way. I hand build one of a kind custom parts for Harleys. Like a rattle snake headlight bracket. Skeleton feet running boards. Spider Finders. I love to Fab things with my hands.

Nice! I can fabricate, I do it on my drag car, but I think work would get a lil *beep* if I fire up an oven and start bangin on stuff with hammers, but I've always thought that was cool stuff, always wanted to learn it.

I betcha, that whatever I try to do, ends up making a mark on the wall of my shop. I have zero tolerance, for stuff I don't understand.

Ask my boss...

Most of my frustration, comes from the "college educated" engineers, that hand me a blueprint, I start to read it and they leave something out and I call em on it... "Where is this hole here supposed to go...?" "Oh yeah, oops..." "shakes head"

Im just a simple farm boy, don't try to make me read your mind, cuz when something don't fit... ya hit it with a hammer.

Bend to fit, Paint to match.

See Thats something I can relate to. I am currently in college working towards a degree in mechanical engineering. But Before I left for college, I had years of fab experiance on my families land in Midland. So not only will I be able to design a part, ill also be able to build it unlike most engineers [;)]

Duct tape is used for everything around my part of the country. Say a hub cap falls off your car. What do you do? Duct tape it back on (yes, I used duct tape as a verb) If your favorite coffee mug breaks, duct tape it too! you got a leaky pipe? Slap a piece of duct tape over the leak! Those are all exaggerations for the sake of a point, but you get what I'm saying.

The only thing it can't fix is duct work.

Just got a new PC now. Tried MTM2 and FS2004 on it, and it really works well.

Well, except for Evo1 and Evo2, I always get an error message during startup, e.g. "Microsoft reports -671MB (any negative figure) of free swap disk space. You need a minimum of 100MB swap disk space to play Evo1" or something like that. Then, the graphics went blank ingame. :(

System Information:
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E7500 @ 2.93GHz (2 CPUs)
2GB DDR3
ATI Radeon HD 4600 Series
2 x 100GB Hard Drive (that means a total of 200GB hard disk space)
Windows XP SP2
