I forgot to mention that the cutting stand I built was done with my new Ryobi 18 volt cordless drill, which is awesome.  It put a 1-inch spade bit through the pressure-treated 4x4 like nobody's business.  I'm pleased with that one.  In fact it was so strong it sheared my 1/8" bit right in half.  I never liked that bit anyway.

I posted a simply delicious reply to a LJ post asking about where they could find 'used cubscout uniforms' (use your impression of me to wonder what I might've answered with), and I come to find out several hours later that it isn't on the thread.  Not even a 'reply deleted'.  Was it ever there?  Did it vanish?  Lost in limbo like all the unbaptised babies?  The world may never know.  Actually, come to think of it I have a used cub scout uniform hanging in the closet at my Mom's house, I wonder what's in the pockets.
