The quality was excellent but when I looked under the lid, it looks as though it may have been a bit hot and marked the plastic seal.

I don?t think that the engraving did any significant damage to the seal, do you?

Les, do Australian canning lids have sealer in the center of the lids as well?  Our two piece lids here in America only have the sealer around the edge of the lid.

I don't have a personal phone either.  I do have an iPod touch though, so it can technically do everything a smartphone can do except make a call, it's just so old that not a lot is compatible with my iOS anymore.  We did finally get a smartphone for the whole household to use though because we got a great deal on one from our mobile carrier, and I have to say, it has made our lives a lot easier. 

I remember milking by hand, extracting honey by hand...

   
I still do both of these things though!

Granted the guy will never have to repel a boarder and his biggest job is telling others to push buttons ...

But that's still no reason to demonstrate incompetence. Even if the armorer set him up, still no excuse. And then it gets POSTED ! just TOO funny...

betting the Air Force is is saying "whew, glad that wasn't us this time" .. heard enough about their "simulated" bs qualifying to roll my eyes.

ugg.  Believe it or not, few sailors do more than fam fire in the course of their career.  I remember when we went to the range early on and they limited our ammo because the Army and Marines needed it more

It reminds me of the one I heard where before columbus in america the woman would pitch the tipi, cut the fire wood, do all the cooking and cleaning and all the men had to do was shoot something and then just sit around the fire and smoke the pipe and tell stories and we thought we could make it better?

Thanks Les.
I just received an email advising Creality Falcon 2 is on sale for $519, $555 including tax, no shipping. I ordered it and then ordered the cover on Amazon, $69.
Do you have a Honeycomb Laser Bed. Do I need it?
Does this Laser come with Laser design software?

LOL We were all over that on the 2A BB that I haunt. The armorer must have set him up.

Nice bit of Gold!
Maybe the mobile phone attracted it?

I'm 76 this year and still don't own a mobile phone!

I can remember party lines - you knew everybody in the village , and their business.

I also remember the time when I would carry around a heavy  6 x 6 camera and develop my own photos.

I remember milking by hand, extracting honey by hand...

Slower times but good times.
