I got this giant Noga magnetic base. This thing is huge! It's bigger than some of my micro machines, machines are too small, nowhere to stick it LOL.

So very sorry to hear. I know how much it hurts to lose your 4 legged companion.

So sad. R.I.P.

So far the equipment seems happy with things so far.  In New England it was like blink and rust had flashed across everything.  I was always rubbing oil on them.

Not the expert, but I'm gonna say all the wind at my place has something to do with very, very mild rust on bare metal in my hobby shop during the winter months. At my last place/location I had to be very careful and oil all the steel or the rust would ruin it in one season.

Some of the locals tell me it's like that here over the winter. I don't remember it that way but we'll see how it goes.  I know that I can see the White Sands Desert lifting into the air on those mornings when a storm is coming.

Quote from: 4GSR on Mar 27, 2025, 04:12 PMYeah, we go some of the high wind down here, too. Not near 80 plus mph. Now, we went from extreme dry to very wet! I'm guessing 4 inches of rain the past two days.

Oh, I wish we could get some rain ( Not 4" tho! )  The rains seem to go around us somehow.  We had some sprinkles this past saturday but not enough to wet down the driveway.  But in the evening I could watch the rains pour down into the Cloudcroft area east of us.
