Look what I found!

for those of you that have M.B.S. (multiple bike syndrome) and have the "silver wing" models.
as our sponsors also have supplies for those bikes and they are popular with the "wing" crowd.

So I was meeting with a possible supplier today at work, and they hand me their catalog. Look what was inside!

Looks almost exactly like what the Doctor stuck in me when looking for "stones" in the bladder. He saw them. It was a $750 office visit. The operation came later. I could have bought a very nice new motorcyle with that bill!

This is what we use in the USAF to look at compressor blades on our motors. We have a little bit more expensive set up, but still the same concept. It would be really neat to have one for my own garage.

Now that's cool.

Every so often Princess Auto (sort of like Harbor Freight but in Canada) advertises one of those for about $150. Its tempting but I have a feeling I wouldn't use it very much.

I keep telling the wife (she's a nurse) that they are selling home colostomy kits :(

Go to ebay and search for borescope. Lots of cheap ones for $15 to $50 bucks that plug into your computer of tablet. I couldn't resist and was pleasantly surprised!
