Finished rebuilding 4" shaft mount

Posted By Rob Wiederrich

Well..I just finished rebuilding and mounting my custom 4" shaft Gem with 12" ring gears to my 8ft pier in my 18X18 ROR OB.

I finished building the DEC drive and release mechanizm...and am currently machining and building the RA drive with differential clock drive.

It will hold my homemade 10"f/15 refractor......here is a pic.

Obama still doesn't get it.

Posted By Rob Wiederrich

In his address yesterday...Obumer...clearly stated that he saw the republican victory as a message from the *People* that gvt wasn't working fast enough....People just weren't fealing the *change* quick enough....so they voted folks in who could make it happen faster. You know..Obumercare..stimulous..JOBS

This guy can't even admit his policies are what were rejected..that it was his agenda(and those who implemented it)...not that it was being implemented too slow. 8O

His whole speach was a cover-up...he looked like he was going to blow a gaskit. He's so diningenuous.
a true narcissist.

Is it political or moral

Posted By Rob Wiederrich


I enjoy honest thinkers..because they help us stay on track. I especially enjoy this quote.

"When I joined the military it was illegal to be homosexual; then it became optional. I'm getting out before Obama makes it mandatory."

More..Where's the outrage from the Left

Posted By Rob Wiederrich

More likely? I posted a fact not debatable..so how can you say further debate is a waste of time?
The law will only be retained as long as people refuse to debate and use logic and common sence to refute and repeal it. It is not a law of *choice* but rather selfishness and murder.

If choice was the reason then any mother should be able to kill her children until they can provide for themselves.

Any rational liberal thinkers left in the forum?

More likely, the debate has become so predictable that no one cares to beat what is already a very dead horse to a bloody pulp.

Besides legal access to abortion has been the law of the land for 35 years now and that's not likely to change anytime soon.

What makes someone think so differently

Posted By Rob Wiederrich

I'm not one to follow conspiracy theories...but there must be some thing wired wrong in the mind of a left thinking liberal. Example #1 Only liberal democratic patients who visit my office ask me to change the office waiting room TV's channel from Fox to another channel..claiming the office is a public place and Fox is offensive. Example #2 Only liberal democratic patients who visit my office ask me to change the office radio station from Christian music to another channel....claiming the office is a public place and it is offensive.

Now...First, what is in the liberal Democratic mind that first leads them to think my office is a *Public* place? Because I treat them?
Second, what is in the liberal Democratic mind that permits them to assume I have to treat them in an evironment that is neutral or liberal to all things they find offensive?

I have never had to change channels for any conservative minded patient...ever!

Anyone have an answer?
