    Donny:
    I'm semi-retired, run a take-and-bake pizza shop for pin money. I play in a 4x10 cell in my basement until my garage gets built (hopefully at the spring thaw).
    You're right about no work, a couple mines are still open but that's small head count. We're trying to become a tourist town but very few of the business owners are open on Sunday, go figure.

    robotic regards,

    Tom

    Tom,
    How about a pic of your machine.
    Attached are a few pics of my machine and a render of what i'm working on. And a old pic of my shop. Looks about the same now just less snow.

    And guys don't forget to join Frapper so we can be mapped in the world. Need a few pins for the Inland Northwest.

    I'm clear up in Bonners Ferry, have to drive through Sandpoint four days a week to get to work. The area is nice (oh I mean awful don't bother coming up here) but the traffic can be a pain and land prices are hyperinflated. Need a good winter, drive everyone out of here.

    I am now happily entrenched in Idaho Falls. I escaped the oppressive Republik of Kalifornia in search of a better life for my family. I just had my Bridgeport CNC 4 axis knee mill and Femco Durga lathe delivered this week and am waiting for the electrician to wire them up so I can get back to the business of making chips.

    Welcome to Post Falls and Idaho Falls.
    I have Family in Idaho Falls. I go there about 2 times a year. Cold windy place but nice little city.
    Ryan if you need help with your router in Post Falls let me know I'm just up the road and go through there a few times a month.
    Still building a new 6 axis machine a lathe and a mill. Have all the parts just not the time. Building a 1200 sq' addition to the house so that has absorbed all my spare time this summer and fall.
