• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Who's going to Daytona?

I was untill Southern Nuclear started being asses along with a large contractor I do business with. Now it looks like I will be stuck doing quotes and expiditing till hell freezes over. :(
 
Brian I am so sorry. I know you were looking forward to Daytona.
 
That sucks Brian! I posted this mainly to see if you were still planning on being there. I was really looking forward to finally meeting you in person...and burning down Daytona together! ;) :D

Hopefully next year...

btw...if you can get free, just show up. You can always crash in my room. :)
 
Jay as always thanks for your kindness and the offer. But right now I am up to my neck in getting proper documentation for all materials ordered for a certain nuke plant. Damn NRC and their cradle to grave documentation is frigging killing me!! I never work Saturdays but I find myself at home going through stacks of mindless documents stating origin of every single material which made the item which is to be shipped. :(
