Might not be long enough. Dan |

Thanks for checking, Paul. I am going to buy the two dies and cut it either out of SCH 80 PVC or aluminum pipe. I have about 30 feet of the PVC, and maybe 50 feet of the Aluminum, if my dad didn't find it when he lived next door. He found a brand new 'Bud' 19" aluminum rack panel and cut it up for some project of his. That was about $30 wasted. I know that he wadded up some of the pile to sell as scrap aluminum. He had no idea what that stuff cost.  One end will be 1-14 UNF, the other will be 3/4 NPT. I may offer some to people on the test equipment groups to pay for the tooling. a lot of people want an affordable frequency standard. I might even build them a couple at a time and sell them as complete systems on Ebay. I figure that I will have a little over $100 in the hardware and electronics. The cheapest commercial package is in the thousands. |

Even though I went out with only 46% pension, I was money ahead when I took off the cost of going to work. Best move I ever made and I still can't figure out how I had time to hold down a job. Also, the work related BS was getting to me - haven't had a stress headache in 22 years and am way ahead financialy. The only employment I've been involved in was when people who once worked under me invited me to come work for them for a couple months - had a great time and was well paid for the three months of 90 hours per week.

I told her..."ask me in 40 yrs" In 6 months, I've already lived to regret not having more retirement income, but I knew that going in. This old bod couldn't have put in 4 more years as a handyman. But having the house and vehicle fully paid-for has overcome 2 -major- hurdles. If I still had a mortgage, I couldn't have retired when I did. And this year, I won't have to come up with a couple grand for biz insurance, licensing, bonding, or continuing education courses. Being single and having a low threshold for entertainment ($9.99/mo for Kindle Unlimited and $8.99/mo for Netflix) thrill me to no end, and make my life simpler and easier to afford than most. After working 12 years 120 miles from home, I was offered a package; What on Earth were you doing working that far from home? Did you have a room near work and only go home on weekends? Gunner has his RV for that. Yeah, I rented a room from an elderly couple and ended up inheriting every penny plus more after the lady passed away eight years ago. I worked the system and worked a four day work week so that I was only away from home three nights per week unless I was in the field in which case I might bs away for two or three weeks or being home every night collecting "private accommodation" allowance while sleeping in my own bed with SWMBO. unfortunately I was six weeks too younge. Apparently, a lot of telephone lines overheated when they found out and made the six week extension. Even though I went out with only 46% pension, I was money ahead when I took off the cost of going to work. Best move I ever made and I still can't figure out how I had time to hold down a job. Also, Yeah, if you were driving 2-3 hours each way every day, it makes for a short evening and a short sleep period. By renting a room nearby, I could get half my day's work done before the caffeteria opened at 07:30, before the people I needed to talk to left home. OTOH my supervisor (09:00-17:00) used to get ****ed off when I left voice mail for him at 07:00 and then left the field office for the day (I didn't rate a cell phone and wouldn't have accepted on if offered). the work related BS was getting to me - haven't had a stress headache in 22 years and am way ahead financialy. The only employment I've been involved in was when people who once worked under me invited me to come work for them for a couple months - had a great time and was well paid for the three months of 90 hours per week. Fully in favour of early retirement! I've been self-employed since 1991, so I didn't get a package last October when I semi-retired. Social Security is all I get. The IRS, in their infinite wisdom, decided to keep most of my refund this year, even though I won't be making the same income this time around. I just found out a few minutes ago when I saw a small deposit in my bank which I didn't recognize. $148 isn't $410. Time for a 3 hour phone hold while I wait for a 1 minute IRS consultation. sigh The present setup sees me get an income tax refund of $150.00 while SWMBO who is liable for income tax assesment of $70.00, due to income splitting get a refund of $1200.00. She's happy! --- Gerry :-)} London,Canada |
