Hey folks,

GIB and I are attempting to build a crude forge that resembles what the Spanish would have used 400 years ago in my back yard. I posted some preliminary pics and questions I need problem shooting with in Beach and Shallow Water. I know there are a ton of smart people on this thread....so if anybody has any input we would appreciate it. I will post pics of everything so you can see our failure or success.

Just took a closer look at the last photo....

It appears that the cores are "Medeco."
Touted as "Unpickable."

I have fooled with picking Medeco's...

I started by loading one pin and picking. I added a second pin and picked.
Then added a third, then a fourth pin.
It gets exponentially more difficult with each added pin.

I could never pick 5 pins....

I heard somewhere that Medeco will pay a "reward" to anyone who can pick a 5 or 6 pin Medeco.

These locks have been the "standard" of high security for many years and were a common lock used in Banks, etc.

Having said all of that,

I will try to pick them but will have to replace the cores with non-Medeco cores as we are not set up for servicing Medeco locks.

If I cannot pick them, I'll have to drill them.

Perhaps I can use a "Falcon/Best" core as a replacement.....

We'll just have to see....

Best Wishes,
Always,

Scott

Picking a 6 pin Medeco mortise rim cylinder...

(I apologize for the language of the person in the video as he "drops" the top pins....)

Buddy has a working key...that helps in knowing how to pick each pin.
He has obviously practiced much on this lock in particular.
Let him try a fresh one, with no working key to compare....

This particular core has a "side bar," adding to the security!
The gist of Medeco locks is that the pins not only go up and down but they also go at a slight angle left and right...

Ah, my Friend, you have touched the heart of this old rock and roller!


Your Challenge is accepted.

You wouldn't be spoofin' us, would ya?

Best,

By the way,

Just thought I might add that no one shall be penalized again,
For failing to post words to songs.....(lyrics)

I post lyrics because of poignancy....

If you wish to post accompanying lyrics, I applaud you!



Who am I to monitor intranet points and such? Sheesh!
Perhaps I'll add to your post with the words!

So,
POST THEM SONGS!

Let YOUR Music Flow!

Best,

What distinction has this song?
(Can you say, "Truth in Irony?")

And,

Of course...

The Lyrics...


I heard you on the wireless back in Fifty Two
Lying awake intent at tuning in on you.
If I was young it didn't stop you coming through.

Oh-a oh

They took the credit for your second symphony.
Rewritten by machine with new technology,
and now I understand the problems you can see.

Oh-a oh

I met your children
Oh-a oh

What did you tell them?
Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star.

Pictures came and broke your heart.
Oh-a-a-a oh

And now we meet in an abandoned studio.
We hear the playback and it seems so long ago.
And you remember the jingles used to go.

Oh-a oh

You were the first one.
(a clue?....)

Oh-a oh

You were the last one.

Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star.
In my mind and in my car, we can't rewind we've gone too far.
Oh-a-aho oh,
Oh-a-aho oh

Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star.

In my mind and in my car, we can't rewind we've gone too far.
Pictures came and broke your heart, put the blame on VTR*.

You are a radio star.
You are a radiostar.
Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star.

Video killed the radio star. (You are a radio star)

Being ready for a sojourn to the mountains for a brief respite with Nature this Christmas, before the aggravations of the coming Spring Semester, I was disappointed by the rain and flooding in North Georgia....

I reluctantly stayed home....

Feeling melancholy and sorry for myself,
I attempted, casually, to find out about my 1st wife.....

Haven't seen her for near better'n 25 years or so....

Last I heard, she was workin' for the Augusta Chronicle Newspaper in Georgia.
As the Assistant Manager or something....

I got her a job there....
As a "Paste-up" copy editor.
Back in the late 70's....


What I found, well....

We were both in Georgia for a couple of years recently....,Then She moved back to our Home town, married a guy who has had a heart transplant, is heavily involved with animals at shelters and still is Beautiful!
She's only 6 months younger than me,
and I struggle to remember why I gave up on us....


(STILL has them cute dimples....)

Her Birthday is this Thursday.
Yeah, I still remember....

Should I send her Birthday wishes?

Or, just leave it all alone?

Surely, If I could find her, she could have found me....



Scott



PS. She was my Wife when I worked on motorcycles in the back bedroom....



(circa 1978)

She took that photo....!





She couldn't sing, nor play an instrument....

But,

I still love her and often dream of us....


Her Brothers...

Whom I have stories including metal detecting...


Johnny and Terry.....
My "Brothers-in-law" once....
and outta-law a few times, too, I guess....

I feel so old and defeated.....


AH!

The question...

Her name?

SNAP!
You tell me and win an additional "Secret clue!"
For you only!



"Sorry, Mac, Can't help ya.....
I'm busy putting together the contents of a PVC tube...."


​

 

[bill from lachine]

Scott,

Nothing to loose.....send her a card and wish her all the best for old times sake.

Regards + HH

Bill

 

[AU24K]

Perhaps she wonders of my life?
Beyond the Quaalude's and Acid that we once shared?

Perhaps she doesn't give two rat's sh#ts....

I think That I might surprise her on this Birthday with a Heartfelt greeting....


What's the worst that can happen?
That we meet again, someday?
When I visit MY Hometown, again?

Hope she has learned how to play a guitar or sing.....

Yeah, it's me, Scott...

Where is the love?






Words, of wisdom.....Friends. Dig?

Get on board... Train leaves promptly...Feel me?

"Where Is The Love?"

What's wrong with the world, mama
People livin' like they ain't got no mamas
I think the whole world addicted to the drama
Only attracted to things that'll bring you trauma

Overseas, yeah, we try to stop terrorism
But we still got terrorists here livin'
In the USA, the big CIA
The Bloods and The Crips and the KKK

But if you only have love for your own race
Then you only leave space to discriminate
And to discriminate only generates hate
And when you hate then you're bound to get irate, yeah

Madness is what you demonstrate
And that's exactly how anger works and operates
Man, you gotta have love just to set it straight
Take control of your mind and meditate
Let your soul gravitate to the love, y'all, y'all

People killin', people dyin'
Children hurt and you hear them cryin'
Can you practice what you preach?
Or would you turn the other cheek?

Father, Father, Father help us
Send some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love (Love)

Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love, the love, the love

It just ain't the same, old ways have changed
New days are strange, is the world insane?
If love and peace are so strong
Why are there pieces of love that don't belong?

Nations droppin' bombs
Chemical gasses fillin' lungs of little ones
With ongoin' sufferin' as the youth die young
So ask yourself is the lovin' really gone

So I could ask myself really what is goin' wrong
In this world that we livin' in people keep on givin' in
Makin' wrong decisions, only visions of them dividends
Not respectin' each other, deny thy brother
A war is goin' on but the reason's undercover

The truth is kept secret, it's swept under the rug
If you never know truth then you never know love
Where's the love, y'all, come on (I don't know)
Where's the truth, y'all, come on (I don't know)
Where's the love, y'all

People killin', people dyin'
Children hurt and you hear them cryin'
Can you practice what you preach?
Or would you turn the other cheek?

Father, Father, Father help us
Send some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love (Love)

Where is the love (The love)?
Where is the love (The love)?
Where is the love (The love)?
Where is the love (The love)?
Where is the love (The love)?
Where is the love (The love)?
Where is the love, the love, the love?

I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder
As I'm gettin' older, y'all, people gets colder
Most of us only care about money makin'
Selfishness got us followin' the wrong direction

Wrong information always shown by the media
Negative images is the main criteria
Infecting the young minds faster than bacteria
Kids wanna act like what they see in the cinema

Yo', whatever happened to the values of humanity
Whatever happened to the fairness and equality
Instead of spreading love we're spreading animosity
Lack of understanding, leading us away from unity

That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' under
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' down
There's no wonder why sometimes I'm feelin' under
Gotta keep my faith alive 'til love is found
Now ask yourself

Where is the love?
Where is the love?
Where is the love?
Where is the love?

Father, Father, Father, help us
Send some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love?

Sing with me y'all:
One world, one world (We only got)
One world, one world (That's all we got)
One world, one world
And something's wrong with it (Yeah)
Something's wrong with it (Yeah)
Something's wrong with the wo-wo-world, yeah
We only got
(One world, one world)
That's all we got
(One world, one world)

OK.

An early story of Scott and ....his 1st wife....

We had bought a house in our hometown of Lawrence, Kansas and one day, the back porch light was out.

I climbed a chair, on a table, on a basketball, to change the bulb.
I asked my wife, "Is the switch off?" She said Yes!

Well, it weren't off!

OH! DAMN!"

 

[dieselram94]

I bet that was the "highlight " of the night!

I can wait.....
For my statement....

Later, my wifey was in the tub, bathing prior for some employment position....
I kicked open the bathroom door, laying 120V AC cable and dangled an end above her bathwater demanding to discuss our differences....Promising to hit the breaker....
(maybe.....)

Your thoughts, My Lady?

Yeah. Your classic love/hate thing, I guess......

We were both so young...

I still have photos of our wedding day.....
Now I Remember....
