    where I used to work we had Libation Fridays. Dont know how it started but on occasion a bottle of wine would get popped open in the afternoons. I dont get to do that anymore, I'd be drinkin' by myself. WEll there is the Bike shop next door, wonder if they like a nice Fezz Special Cab.?

    Had a late harvest Zin last Wednesday...mmmmmm. Presently on a Pinot Gris / Savignon Blanc kick.

    :cheers:

    Yep...

    When I started in this business the Boss's solution to missing critical data on an order(aka pd's and seg ht's) was the following-- 63/60 and 3 below!(ft's)

    It was funny to see how succesful he was with that "formula" I still use it to this day-- Not on my orders of course! Those other guys.:bbg:

    Oh yes, and welcome to the University of All Things Optical!

    He made it too complicated.......It's just in 2, 3below. You never really needed the 63/60. You never saw anything bigger than a 50 eye, and your stock blanks were 58mm...........Unless of course you are old enough to remember the centex blanks in which case you are VERY old!

    Welcome to the new member from TN. He may know Roy Ferguson who is another Tennesseean (I hope I spelled that right!)we have as a member.

    I always used 3 in 3 down. Heck, my old blocker only went as far as 6 in and 6 down. I think, I still have it at work and I'll look tomorrow and post some pics of the ol' dinosaur. From before LEAP pads. Say, isn't saying LEAP pads redundant?

    Anyway, welcome 3down!
