General Scroll Saw Talk / Dewalt Air Blower Broken

« on: November 18, 2012, 07:21:28 pm »

Yesterday while waxing the table on my Dewalt 788, I lifted the air blower up and heard a small "crack".  The blower arm them flopped and would not stay in place any longer/  The first knuckle was broken and so loose it would not stay on.  I removed that knuckle and I cannot get the second knuckle to go on the ball type flange that holds it.  The pictures in the parts diagram do not show the ball but rather a straight connector and it looks like the air nozzle has some kind of nut that would lock it down?   The bellows is working fine.Anyone had experience with this.  Pictures show parts diagram and my parts

« on: November 13, 2012, 08:31:49 am »

A young guy's walking down the street when he sees an enormous funeral procession just ahead, led by an older man with a Doberman on a leash.

"Hey, what's goin' on here?" the young guy asks.

"Oh, it's my mother-in-law's funeral," says the guy with the Doberman. "The dog here killed her."

"Oh, wow!" says the young guy. "Can I borrow the dog?"

The older man waves a hand at the procession and says, "Get in line!"

The Coffee Shop / Halloween Rules for Seniors

« on: October 28, 2012, 07:10:41 pm »

You know you are too old to Trick or Treat when:

10. You keep knocking on your own front door.

9. You remove your false teeth to change your appearance.

8. You ask for soft high fiber candy only.

7. When someone drops a candy bar in your bag,
and you lose your balance and fall over.


6. People say: 'Great Boris Karloff Mask'
And you're not wearing a mask.

5. When the door opens you yell, 'Trick or...'
And you can't remember the rest.

4. By the end of the night,
you have a bag full of restraining orders.

3. You have to carefully choose a costume that doesn't
dislodge your hairpiece.


2. You're the only Power Ranger in the
neighborhood with a walker.

And the number one reason Seniors should not go
Trick Or Treating...

1. You keep having to go home to pee.

Made these two signs today.  The first is a very good piece of advice and the 2nd is what you may hear if you do not heed the advice.

The Coffee Shop / Hysteria at the commissary

« on: September 20, 2012, 03:18:54 pm »

There was a bit of confusion at the commissary this morning. When I was
ready to pay for my groceries, the cashier said, "Strip down facing me."

Making a mental note to complain to my congressman about Homeland Security running amok, I did just as she had instructed.

When the hysterical shrieking and alarms finally subsided, I found out that
she was referring to my credit card.

I have been asked to shop elsewhere in the future.

They need to make their instructions to us seniors a little clearer!

The Coffee Shop / Sematics

« on: September 14, 2012, 07:57:14 pm »

I was in a bar last  night, and drank a few, and noticed two very large women by the bar.  They both had pretty strong accents, so I asked, "Hey, are you two ladies from Ireland?"
One of them chirped saying, "It's WALES, you  idiot!"
So, I immediately apologized and said, "I'm sorry. Are you two whales from Ireland?"That's pretty much the last thing I remember.

The Coffee Shop / Speeding

« on: September 03, 2012, 05:54:12 pm »

Morty and Selma, an elderly couple, were driving across the country. The woman was driving when she got pulled over by the highway patrol. The officer said, "Ma'am did you know you were speeding?" Selma, hard of hearing, turned to her husband and asked, "What did he say?" Morty yelled, "He says you were speeding!" The patrolman said, "May I see your license?" Selma turned to her husband once again and asked, "What did he say?" Morty yelled, "He wants to see your license!" Selma gave the officer her license. The patrolman then said, "I see you are from New York. I spent some time there once and went on a blind date with the most annoying woman I've ever met." Selma turned to her husband and asked, "What did he say?" Morty yells, "He said he thinks he knows you!"

Brag Forum / You Are My Life Plaque

« on: August 27, 2012, 10:27:19 am »

I made several of  these and  showed one to my wife. Told here it was for her if she wanted it. She loved it but didn't want it due to absolutely no place to put it. My Mother is a crocheter. We have 15 afghans. Tried to give some to the girls, but they also have way too many. My wife toldme I was becoming my mother except in wood!

The Coffee Shop / Entertainment night at the Senior Center

« on: August 17, 2012, 01:57:38 pm »

It was Entertainment night at the Senior Citizens Center.

Claude the hypnotist explained: "I'm here to put you into a trance; I intend
to hypnotize each and every member of the audience."

The excitement was almost electric as Claude withdrew a beautiful antique
pocket watch from his coat.
"I want you each to keep your eye on this antique watch.
It's a very special watch. It's been in my family for six generations"

He began to swing the watch gently back and forth while quietly chanting,
"Watch the watch, watch the watch, watch the watch. ... ."
The crowd became mesmerized as the watch swayed back and forth, light
gleaming off its polished surface.
Hundreds of pairs eyes followed the swaying watch, until, suddenly, the
chain broke, it slipped from the hypnotist's fingers and fell to the floor, breaking into a hundred pieces.

"CRAP!" said the Hypnotist.

It took three days to clean up the Senior Citizens Center.
