Actually I was just thinking about this the other day. I was working on
something at the shop and it involved a few minutes of welding some metal
onto a part, then a few minutes at the lathe shaping that metal. When I
first started with these cars, a dark and mysterious time when dinosaurs
ruled the planet ( I'll keep the Dick Cheney jokes to myself ;-) it would
have taken me *days* to have managed such a repair, if possible at all,
with the meager facilities I had at my disposal back then.
And a side effect of such musings were that the various Team.Net services
have probably done more than I can imagine to keep a few of them out of
the junkyard a bit longer. So I got inspired to get busy on some various
upgrades and things I've been meaning to do, hopefully have some positive
changes in place by the time the annual spring funding drive comes up in
a couple of weeks. Stay tuned, and, hopefully, stay tuned!
