A wise man once told me that duct tape can be used to fix anything. Well, it doesn't work on mufflers.

As far as I know same here.  But of course once I get home, the first thing I am going to do is check the bators and probably be right back to hatching envy.

Glad you finally told him and he was ok with it.

Anyone else?

 

 

I could probably use one to get me out of work-mode. I've decided to apply for the supervisor position I was in a year ago as acting. It ate up my life and the little sanity I had left, but someone's gotta do the job, it's been vacant for almost a year and a half and we need to get rid of the inertia in there.

You know, Dar, I think I just might know what I'm going to do with my tax refund. Would your wife believe you if this showed up on your doorstep? Or should you just PM me your office address?

I agree completely.

It would be worth the 850$ just to see you panic over a cabinet incubator twice a year.
