Not sure if it matters... but I too noticed your absence.

That whole water stone thing I did was to answer a question that you asked.
I hope that you read it ...

Anyway, glad you are well and surviving with those horrible black screws...
(said tongue firmly in cheek!)




Happy Turkey (Thanksgiving) day to all..
Even you poor folks that don't participate in celebrating this national day of thanks for where we in the US come from..and general gluttony with family and friends.

You guys crack me up. This is great. They say your never missed or appreciated until your gone. Well, thankfully I am not gone. This has really become a great little community you guys are almost like the brothers I never had and your words are appreciated. I did read the water stone thread and you did a great job. When I can free up some (actually quite a large sum) money, I will indulge myself with the water stones, based in large part on your work and reports. For now Christmas and holiday travel will prohibit this. Plus as a result of Sandy back east, I have evaluated my survival plan and found it lacking, so I invested in a standby generator. And now my wife wants me to go to Paris (yes, with her) for vacation in the beginning of next year. So only so much to go around for now.

And I am surviving despite my little black screws.

I see Bob is telling people here "They are estimating to have the parts in to ship in 2 to 3 weeks currently.".

I also see Bob now has the new "L" brackets/screws.

Can we expect an announcement soon?

The recall parts are already shipping out to customers... I believe the majority have already gone out.

Good stuff, I guess I will get mine before christmas.

What are the changes?

The original prototype clamp version is probably wishful thinking, but I'll take it... .

I would like that too.

I'm guessing this is it?



If I can get some more length on the ball joint stud, I'll try a large/thin locknut on the back.

Got the socket head put into my ball joints this week!

Billy, doesn't your set up already have the "L" bracket, or are those being replaced?

I got the black screws also!

I've got a guy trying to get some more length on the stud, then I will put a big thumb screw on the back.
