Wish List, Rev A
Ok, I've been looking at these combo lathe/mill machines from Smithy for quite some time now, and I would still love one. Of course, I doubt that I would do enough work with one to warrant purchase, but then, I won't know how much I'll use it until I have it....
And then I saw this 50ft x 20ft x 8ft, 5 axis mill at Scaled Composites... I don't know what I'd do with it, but there's no question: I need one!
I was thinking about submitting a resume and application to either Scaled or Virgin Galactic, especially after today's news that the Scaled/Virgin-partnership has received the DDTC's approval regarding any possible ITAR restrictions. What do you think, Honey? We could live about 2 hours from Mammoth...

How about this Ultrasonic Welder from Boeing Surplus?
Oh, hell yeah.
I've got a shed, I could take that.
Chan, if we save your paychecks, we could buy that in about a year and then weld up your trapeze rig...

Let's try this again:
How about an infrared telescope instead?
Greg, if you get the job, could you hook me up with a ticket? I'm a little short of the $200,000 price.
WHEN I go into space, I will definitely be taking cameras with me, and if I'm shelling out that kind of cash I can certainly afford a bitchin' IR camera...
Greg, you know I'll let you hold my long-focal-length sensor on any moonshot I take.
You know, that just sounds dirty... which of course means I'm all for it.
