He doesn't live in Utah.
Went into town for a late breakfast catchup with a couple of mates, ex work colleagues.
Wandered up through Pitt St and saw the Christmas decorations at Martin Place.
Couldn’t resist a selfie with the big tree.
Some of you might think this is a joke, a friend's brother has 5 wives.
Keep your mollusks, I’ll go with Crustaceans in my ravioli.
I liked 'em better, but not enuff other people did. 60's through 80's.
Well, there's part of my problem...
My "thin" 3-ply material is 0.090" thick, which is thicker than the 3-ply on my Thunderbird, which is only about 0.062".
Thicker material means the 45-degree bevels and countersink radii are wider, on the top surface, by the same amount as the difference in height.
Which will put the TOP of the bevel about 0.06" closer to the top edge of the countersunk hole. 1/16," essentially.
Which was right about the offset I was aiming for; around 3mm screw edge to bevel; which is what my actual T-bird sports.
So I suspect I either need thinner material, or I have to start over; my screws will be right at the edge of the bevel... unless I go to smaller (like #2) screws as used on the truss cover instead of #3's, or don't countersink full thickness. Or both. That'd buy me a few more hundredths. But would probably bother me.
I never noticed the difference in thickness on the pickguard, even though I recognized the single-ply truss cover and control cover were thinner than "typical."
Drag. Lost time more than anything.

Thank You Sir!!!Well. Finally got the PC accepting posted videos. Had to turn it completely off-I rarely do-for a while. It's ba-ack. For now anyway.
Love me some ZZ. Saw them live at the Miami Jai-Alai fronton in ~76(?).
Excellently done, y'all.
There are poly peeps in every state. Doesn’t have to be a state-recognized marriage!
Oh, ye of little faith.Condolences
You'd think having more than one wife would be punishment enough to know better, but 5?
We have Del Taco. An off and on again regional chain that’s not too bad. It’s primarily a franchise model. They seem to open and close pretty frequently. I believe Jack In the Box now owns the company. The football player Pat Hayden opened some around here late eighties, early nineties, and lost his shorts. Some new ones recently opened. The fries are pretty good….
My niece married into the family that owns owns the Taco Bell stores on the Coast from Camarillo to King City. They seem to be doing ok.
I can't think of Taco Bell without scenes from Demolition Man playing in my head.
I still miss the Enchirito.
3 black olive slices.
"To three shalt thou count; no more, no less."

And Bellbeefers. And the Tostadas.
