Last day of business here in the shop. Almost over, and a very strange feeling. The shop is empty except for a couple personal projects, haven't seen it look that way in years. No machines to work on, spent the day fabricating swing-out bar stools for our new kitchen island. Used the metal lathe, drill press, metal bandsaw, belt grinder, and both welders. Probably doesn't sound very peaceful to someone unaccustomed to such things, but it was a very productive, relaxing, day.

Time to change the message on the answering machine, and hang the sign on the door.


"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.
