We're getting unseasonably cold, down to freezing last night, but thankfully
no snow or ice this time.

Suggest instead, you scribe a line on the barrel and use a jig saw with
metal cutting blades. The barrel is at best 18 gage sheet metal so the
blade will cut it quickly and easily. Let the saw do the work and don't
"crowd" the blade, they will last much longer. If you have a sawsal same
result.
Fruit trees or ornamental?

Thanks for the idea, my jig saw is currently out of commission, but your
correct that it would be a much cleaner and controlled cut. Have to see about
repairing that saw...

Hi Max,
Yeah, I'm afraid Global Warming is taking its toll on all of us.

I think you can put some sort of Unix flavor on the stick and boot from
it, then use the file utility to just "Copy C -> D" or whatever, which
should move everything over and make an image of C at whatever time you
do it. You could try Ubuntu, which is a fully-featured OS and not

He would probably like to know what he's talking about as well - he
obviously doesn't have a clue.

Never bring a grinder to an acetylene fight. Think about how

Mao,
That may be so now, but...
I recall presentations by the Rutan brothers at flight test symposia back in
the 1970s; they explained that they could not afford to build and sell their
designs because of legal/liability issues. They could (and did) build
prototypes and sell plans for some of

On that same thread.. one of the most advanced aircraft to be produced, the

influenced by Bert Rutan. Beach jumped through all kinds of hoops with the

We need to hear JFK more. Ask not what your country can do for you
but ask what you can do for your country.
It's worth noting that there has been no shortage of innovation in US
military aircraft, even now (e.g., F-22, IOC 2005, and F-35, IOC 2010). I
don't accept that we are no longer capable of innovation, only that we're

In fact, military aircraft engineers probably innova
