Recommendations for a trim router?

Yes, and you want some course teeth with a bit of a rake. Metal- cutting blades will not work well...melts the plastic. The Bosch T101B works great on acrylic even it has no 'external rake' and the 101AO, if you go really slow and if you need to make tight turns. I exclusively use Bosch, and replace them more often that needed and then keep them for demolition and such.

With the right bit, they'll even get that "old man" hair out of ear holes ... but go ahead and have your coffee first, it helps to be fully awake.

I would sometimes watch the odd episode of Friends with one of my daughters. In one of them, Joey had just said something dumb and Chandler said: " You're supposed to stop pushing on the Q-Tip when you feel resistance!"

Your post reminded me of that.

LOL. I remember that one ... I too watched "Friends" with my youngest on a frequent basis before she went off to college, and in the summer when she was home. I believe she still has all available years on DVD.

We established a similar pattern when she was much younger. I'd pick her up at school and get us home in time to catch the early "Seventh Heaven" episodes together. Now, IMO, that was a rare TV show with strong family values and good moral content. AAMOF, it gave me the opportunity to answer/discuss many of her questions on life in general while watching that show together. I've noticed in the past few years that a number of her judgments, based on those very same values, have been reflected back in the way she's handled situations as a young adult.

As much as I deride the general content of TV today, shows like "Seventh Heaven" were a rare learning experience for a youngster, and an opportunity for a parent to discuss/reinforce moral behavior.

I hope it's still on, and still serving that purpose.

Watch that nose hair trimming bit ... a climb cut will make you sneeze, for sure!

I wonder if Festool makes a nose-trimmer. Ask Leon...

btw, just waiting to hear from Morris, he's near Des Moines. I hope he's okay.

He is, in fact, only a couple of miles from a river... not sure which one. DeSoto...

He hasn't been here in a while.

Did the spam get him?

Lew

I don't think so. He left here before all of it started. I seem to remember him being tired of all the petty infighting and pissing contests that were going on here.

He is quite active on other groups, as of yesterday.

Robert

You mean the:

"My daddy can beat up your dady................. nah-na-nah-nah"

got to him?

Lew

Yup, he got tired of "all heat, no light" arguments. Just heard from him. He's okay, some of his stuff in a storage unit in Des Moines is likely going to get wet.

And my tools are better than yours, etc. You know, a normal day at the wreck.

A loss. He was a good guy.

Robert

oooohhh... and here some people thought that *I* was a s*it- disturber...LOL

The thing is, Rob. You are. I doubt than any regular here would question that.

Now you have competition. And that has to add to our daily enjoyment.
