    You ever have one of those days when...

    nothing goes [u]WRONG</u> ? This is how it went...

    - Guys arrived [u]on time</u> to move the new saw onto the base.
    - found just the right stuff to get all the grease off.
    - Miter slots [u]perfectly parallel</u> to the saw blade - no trunnion adjustment needed
    - found a local engineer to dismantle the guard/splitter/pawls. His sign said "Minimum charge $40". Did it while I waited and [u]refused to let me pay him</u> [:O] (Must be the gray hair!)
    - switched it on - virtually no vibration AND so quiet! I'm an induction fan

    I think you guys use the term "he's Happy as a clam"

    I'm hoping the weekend continues like this...
    Downunder ... 1" = 25.4mm

        Um, no, the days I've had have all been the other kind.

        Must be another one of those "hemisphere" things.

          Why no Rod....can't recall ever having one of those days. In fact I'm the guy that exposed Murphy for what he really is ...a woodworker... before he became famous as a law maker anyway. Very glad to hear that you had one of those days though! [^]

                  Congratulations Rod! I will go along with Larry's assessment that it is due to your "clean" living. Now if Crokett starts having the same experiences, then some of the rest of us might join in on the "clean" living campaign!

                      It must be your life style. I have never had a day that worked out like that.

                              Well - what can I say - the lucky streak continued thru Saturday.

                              Today (Sunday) @ 3:45am is looking good

                              Why am I up so early? Well I have this new saw, and I'm drawing up the power connections, and the rip fence extension, and the rip fence travel stop, and the extension table, and the ... [8D]

                              AND - LOML is letting me run with it
