[22:36:08] <rue_shop3> go figure eh?
[22:37:23] <The_Jester> true, pbx answered but phone rang to vm
[22:37:24] * katsmeow wonders what rue was using the phones as
[22:37:41] <The_Jester> Cheapo synth
[22:37:43] <rue_shop3> ?
[22:38:03] <rue_shop3> oooh I was asleep from 5 to 7
[22:38:06] <rue_shop3> ish
[22:38:26] <The_Jester> Rue_SleepingZZzzz...
[22:38:54] <The_Jester> So I was calling to remind you to glue on spring mounts
[22:39:08] <rue_shop3> oh yea
[22:39:12] * rue_shop3 turns right and does that
[22:39:25] <The_Jester> Also went to R
[22:39:30] <The_Jester> PE
[22:39:56] <The_Jester> place is huge, bought 200 2/56 screws was 8.50
[22:39:57] <rue_shop3> and?
[22:40:06] <rue_shop3> hahaha sweeet?
[22:40:13] <rue_shop3> so they aren't dead!
[22:40:39] <The_Jester> relocated and expanded huge space, half empty
[22:40:57] <The_Jester> 4.2 cents per screw
[22:41:13] <The_Jester> $1.53 per robot
[22:41:17] <rue_shop3> nice they had more than the 1 pack expected
[22:41:54] <The_Jester> that had 4, I'll prob go back when i need more unless i get inspired and switch the model to metric
[22:42:12] <The_Jester> left 2 for the next guy
[22:42:50] <rue_shop3> I was at extra, bought the last case of noodles, less 1 pack I left for the next person
[22:43:11] <The_Jester> Kat: you are USA, can you find us a source of 2/56x1/4" screws out of the us that is not $30 per 100
[22:44:00] <katsmeow> umm, maybe, but why do you want them out of the usa?
[22:44:00] <rue_shop3> I wonder if carpet would be a good idea for the new shop
[22:44:09] <rue_shop3> fearlessly drop glass things
[22:44:25] <rue_shop3> katsmeow, cause in canada they are usually $30/100pcd
[22:44:26] <rue_shop3> s
[22:44:55] <katsmeow> but Canada is out of th eusa
[22:45:24] <katsmeow> so that wouldn't help if i found them in Canada
[22:45:34] <The_Jester> ebay sellers want $19 usd and $10 per 100, and since they arnt metric the chineese dont sell them. yet to contact the local guys but i suspect the wont be too cheap either. but i figure they are probley all made in the usa so you can probley buy them by the baggy cheaply
[22:46:24] <rue_shop3> the freaking gun broke!
[22:46:31] <katsmeow> maybe, but importing them to Canadia is pricey because rue has not set up that robot coss-border transfer company
[22:46:39] <The_Jester> Lulz @rue
[22:46:55] * rue_shop3 knaws at the tube of silicone with his teeth to try to get some out
[22:47:12] <katsmeow> use a drywall screw
[22:47:23] <The_Jester> put them in a big legal mailer and mark them as gift, I only need like 1000
[22:48:03] <katsmeow> HO Parts Miniature Hardware Pack of 100 Screws 2-56 x 1/4 Tapered Flat Head
[22:48:09] <The_Jester> or as a side line, you can settup a ebay store because appearetly 2/56 screws are work about $1 usd each
[22:49:03] <katsmeow> Shipping:
[22:49:17] <katsmeow> http://www.ebay.com/itm/HO-Parts-Miniature-Hardware-Pack-of-100-Screws-2-56-x-1-4-Tapered-Flat-Head-/201134137706
[22:49:36] <katsmeow> i'd lose money on anyone with the same amount of search-fu as i have
[22:50:01] <The_Jester> killer is shipping
[22:50:07] <katsmeow> what do you use 2-56 for?
[22:50:20] <katsmeow> Shipping:
[22:50:31] <katsmeow> 78 cents seems fair to me
[22:51:35] <The_Jester> http://imgur.com/WOOhHMG
[22:51:37] <rue_shop3> we should set kat up with a proxy so she can see the $78 shipping on the same listing
[22:51:43] * katsmeow stops looking, because she satisfid the terms, and 78 cents for shipping 1000 screw is fair
[22:51:55] <rue_shop3> or the "dont now where canada is, wont ship there"
[22:52:06] <The_Jester> $8.07 canadian
[22:52:49] <katsmeow> $8.07 for s&h on 1000 screws, when the screws are $49/1000 ?
[22:52:50] <rue_shop3> ok, anchors are done
[22:52:55] <rue_shop3> will be pretty set by friday
[22:53:12] <The_Jester> screws 4.90 usd ($6cad), $6.10 usd shipping to canada.
[22:53:55] <katsmeow> 1000 screw are only $4.90 ?!?
[22:54:03] <The_Jester> thats 100...
[22:54:08] <katsmeow> that sale is for 100@$4.90 as i reasd it
[22:54:25] <rue_shop3> for supper tonight,
[22:54:30] <rue_shop3> I want to not have to eat
[22:54:33] <katsmeow> s&h is set on the first item, each item more is free
[22:54:50] <The_Jester> okay given i guess
[22:55:38] <The_Jester> but its usually not that way
[22:55:39] <The_Jester> uyers in other countries should contact me for a shipping quote.
[22:56:13] * katsmeow kicks herself in the ass for not helping you
[22:56:58] <The_Jester> you get ass blasted on shipping to and from canada, i used to sell alot on ebay but us buyers would always balk at playing like $20 shipping for a $10 item when they can buy from a us seller and pay $6
[22:57:57] <The_Jester> this is why china is a huge boon to makers inn canada, they can send us stuff for free, Digikey is like $35
[22:58:07] <katsmeow> i thought i got you good price on s&h this time
[22:58:24] <The_Jester> Thanks for looking
[22:58:38] <katsmeow> wasted my time :-/
[22:59:10] <The_Jester> keep you eyes peeled though, doesnt seem to be a canadian seller with them.
[23:00:50] <The_Jester> but $1.53 per bot for screws doesnt seem unreasonable, Rue was trying to convience me it was too much and i should cut corners on ridigidty to save a few cents
[23:01:02] <The_Jester> :oP
[23:02:13] <The_Jester> Okay, Jester out, Buddy has Fear the waklking dead from sunday on his dvr and he has been saving it so better head down there.
[23:03:15] <katsmeow> he should have emailed it, sunday evening
[23:03:23] <katsmeow> you'd have it by now
[23:12:54] <The_Jester> Meh, we get raped on bandwidth too.. so..
[23:12:57] <The_Jester> lol
[23:13:57] * katsmeow had not considered rape was funny
[23:39:46] <rue_shop3> ok, well I assembled about 4 of those boards
[23:39:52] <rue_shop3> good enough for me tonight
[23:40:00] <rue_shop3> the iron is playing up too much
[23:40:33] <rue_shop3> thejester is being all fanatical about calibrating his iron temp, I suspect as the iron ages, the temp slides anyhow
[23:41:00] <katsmeow> heat making the magnet weak
[23:41:11] <rue_shop3> these ones use a sensor
[23:41:24] <rue_shop3> not the old magnetic switch
[23:41:30] <rue_shop3> electronically adjustable
[23:42:43] <katsmeow> k
[23:47:59] <rue_house> well I didn't get what I wanted for supper
[23:49:20] <rue_house> today I fit in the smallest attic kat
[23:49:41] * katsmeow adds a comma to de-pron that line
[23:49:46] <rue_house> one inch smaller and I'd have been stuck
[23:55:06] <rue_house> This Commodore 64 Emulator Comes in a Tiny Package
