Now this is a Great Idea for a Dispenser....I did make many of Just Steve's Design.  Didn't sell very well.  Ended up after holding on to them for a while just Giving them away as gifts.  I can see how you designed yours it will dispense Perfectly.  Looks pretty professional quality too.          Danny  :+}

The Coffee Shop / Words to Ponder.... :+}

« on: May 24, 2014, 02:02:04 pm »

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles roll
ed into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full.. The students responded with a unanimous ?yes.?

The professor then produced two Beers from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space between the sand.The students laughed..

?Now,? said the professor as the laughter subsided, ?I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things?-your family, your children, your health, your friends and your favorite passions?-and if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house and your car.. The sand is everything else?-the small stuff.

?If you put the sand into the jar first,? he continued, ?there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life.

If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff you will never have room for the things that are important to you.

Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness.

Spend time with your children. Spend time with your parents. Visit with grandparents. Take your spouse out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house and mow the lawn.

Take care of the golf balls first?-the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the Beer represented. The professor smiled and said, ?I?m glad you asked.? The Beer just shows you that no matter how full your life may seem, there?s always room for a couple of Beers with a friend.

The Coffee Shop / Just WONDERING....Is there any ..SENIORS.. here? :+}

« on: May 06, 2014, 10:37:45 am »

If you are a senior you will understand this one; if you deal with seniors, this should help you understand them a little better, and if you are not a senior yet, God willing, someday you will be.
The 2.99 Special
We went to breakfast at a restaurant where the 'seniors' special' was two eggs, bacon, hash browns and toast for $2.99. 'Sounds good,' my wife said. 'But I don't want the eggs..' 'Then, I'll have to charge you $3.49 because you're ordering a la carte,' the waitress warned her.  'You mean I'd have to pay for not taking the eggs?'
my wife asked incredulously. 
'YES!' stated the waitress.
'I'll take the special then,' my wife said.  'How do you want your eggs?'  the waitress asked.  'Raw and in the shell,' my wife replied.
She took the two eggs home
and baked a cake.
DON'T MESS WITH SENIORS!!!
WE'VE been around
the block more than
once!
Send this to the Seniors in your life.
I'm sure they'll appreciate it!
Even non-seniors will appreciate it!
always laugh when you can -
it's cheaper than medicine !!!

I use ALEENS Clear dry.  Found if I snip the end of the spout so ONLY a Real, real small dab comes out I can just tap it where glue is needed with no extra puddle build up.  Drys CLEAR and with a piece of wood on top and some weight for a while all is Great afterwards.  Danny  :+}

Pattern Requests. / PENQUIN FAMILY JIGSAW .... :+}

« on: May 03, 2014, 08:18:08 pm »

Somewhere back yonder I obtained a pattern for a Family of Pinquins.  Cut like a Jigsaw Stand Up thing.
The Original pattern had THREE ranging in sizes.  Can anyone lead me on.  Thought STEVE had the pattern, but NOPE....  Thanks for anyones assistance.                              Danny  :+}

The Picture where I got the Pattern showed the THREE PENQUINS.  All were cut like a normal JIGSAW puzzle with each piece interlocking.   They were painted Black with Wood tone feature.  Thanks again..  :+}

That looks like a Very Good Set up Pete.  I also used this method with my Old Delta years ago and I will vouch for the fact....IT REALLY WORKED BETTER THAT what the saw came with.  The Aquarium pump had a Hummmmmm to it and needed to keep turning the little flip on/off switch, but worked Good.  Danny  :+}
