Today is our wedding anniversary; she got to lie by the pool, I got to painting one wall each in the TV & dining rooms and the kitchen. It's a tough schedule us guys have to keep to . . .

First and more importantly, Congrats Gerald! I've had 25 wonderful years of marriage, and my wife has had something close to that with me ... I wish you many more happy years!

This may be off topic, but if two Z carriers were used, what would be an appropriate way to hook up dust hoses? Over the side of the car around the Y axis frame?

Uit die tannie se mond: "Jou m03r!"

Congrats Sean. Being so close after Xmas, there is a risk of forgetting the date. . . . I've done it once . . . . . after the year in which she forgot!

Jack, dust hoses for twin Z's are a major headache - they have to fight for space with the y-motor or with the y-cable chain. (They cannot pass outside the y-car. between the gantry tubes without reducing the y-travel)

Lex, het jy geweet dat getroude mans langer lewe as ongetroude mans . . . . . . . maar getrouded mans is meer gewillig om dood te gaan?

(Did you know that married men live longer than unmarried men . . . . . . but married men are more willing to die?)
