I'll check the dates Don. I know there are a couple of organized dinners but hope to have one evening free. I will send you a PM.

but being a yank

What? Just cause I happen to live here?
You can't ever leave home. Still an Ozarks boy. 
Granted...the northern part of the Ozarks. 

But I can't say I ever ate crawfish. We called them crawdads. Used them for bait.

I hope you bantering boys get together and have a fine meal.
I'm sure it'll be with good banter.

I don't see a lot talked about this...
maybe it will help others and maybe not...

When I do a setup, I take a dry run. That is, I move the cutter around to be sure I can reach everything and don't run into things.
(There's been times I've started milling only to find the holder colliding with a clamp.)

Zee,

This very thing happened to me today, so your point is well taken.  Didn't check the full Y axis movement needed on a milling step this afternoon. Crank.......crank...........crank............thud...........oops!   :face palm: No harm done, just a little time to reconfigure my set up.

I've gotten a lot out of the thought process you're going through to get set up for this milling step.

Thanks. Most of which I've learned from the fine members here.
All would be great if I could just get rid of these hiccups and avoid those darn toe stubs.

I don't suppose that could be from the: "Plobano peppers, chicken, kernel corn, hot sauce, tortillas, cilantro, and shredded cheese. One of my favorites."

Frame width is 1.0.
Calculating the chord length gave me about 0.92. Or about .04 mismatch on either side.
According to plan the chord length would be a merest tad over 1.0.

In both cases the frames give another 0.125 mismatch to both sides.
I may split the difference. I don't think it matters anyway.
If I take too much...a shim would solve it.

Cylinder is still in the vise. I need to drill/tap the mounting holes.

Nope Jim. No hiccups from that dish. I do get them from vindaloo or a hot pepper pizza when I add red pepper flakes.  I'll break a good sweat too.

No wonder not many pictures, all those spices are fogging the lens...

Keeping with the perennial OT nature of this thread and Marv's preposition story, I'll provide this:

A female college freshman upon meeting her high-society dorm roommater, asked "Where are you from"?  The latter replied, "Where I'm from we don't end sentences with a preposition."

"Let me rephrase that question.  Where are you from, asshole"?

Another one joins "the list".

Which one and whose list?

Thanks! I thought we were in the dirt.

Not really. It's the tears. This guy... ...but with a smile.

 I'm sure that you are at the very top of the list Carl.  Then again, you could be at the very bottom.  Depends on the list.

Bottom.

Best place. Easier to work up than to stay at the top.
Once at the top..where do you go?

Is that a bad/poor philosophy?
