funny story jack reminds me of camping way up
in the upper peninsula in michigan. we would go up camping and
the deer flies would be pretty bad. it got to
the point that we would let them land on us
and just as they would start to latch on we would spack em and watch em fall. yea life was great.

the pistons went to work
from this mornings paper
They attacked all night, the way you attack a fire, the way you attack an enemy hill, no counting on luck, fate or chance, just sheer will and your own pounding lungs, drive the rim, drive the lane, until finally, the horn sounded to end their eight-month shift, which began in October and ended one week shy of summer. Rip Hamilton was jumping in place, a ball of energy. Mehmet Okur was hugging Tayshaun Prince. Ben Wallace took the spray paint and marked the last game with a big old "X." The team whose motto is "Goin' to Work" had put in a little overtime, and the once-mighty Lakers hadn't just been defeated, they had been stomped and crushed like Italian grapes. The Pistons didn't just beat L.A., they reduced it to a single letter: "L," as in loser. And as the music soared at the Palace the Pistons soared right with it.
Pay dirt.
"Never stop dreaming," said Chauncey Billups, the series MVP, smiling widely after the raucous 100-87 Game 5 victory that clinched the NBA title.
Never stop dreaming. But when you wake up this morning, you'll notice a new crown in town. It wasn't stolen. It didn't fall from the sky. The Lakers didn't squander it, and the referees didn't conspire it. The Pistons -- write this verb down -- won it. Got that, Phil? Got that, Shaq and Kobe? They won it. They captured it. They grabbed it right from Game 1 and owned everything but 11 seconds and one overtime period, in what some are referring to as the NBA's first "five-game sweep."
Along the way, they broke the mold of NBA championship teams. In the final, crowning, 48 minutes Tuesday night, Detroit ran dynamite under the Lakers' ego and blew it to shreds. From Billups' game-opening drive to a late Ben Wallace put-back slam, the team-oriented Pistons slam-dunked the superstar era, ripped up conventional wisdom and threw a bucket of paint on the portraits of four future Hall of Famers, who, for this season, only will be remembered as all the things the Pistons were not: greedy, selfish, whiny and discombobulated.
The Pistons, meanwhile, were five bodies and 10 hands at a time. And all their hands are on a trophy now. Detroit is back atop the basketball world after 14 years.
"I'm very fortunate to coach this team," a humbled Larry Brown said. "They play the right kind of basketball."
Pay dirt. pistons went to work

well Lou
it's been a while since i had dealt with this.
we have this on our okk. this is just from memory.
it has something to do with the machine temp.
it is supposed to commensate for this during
machineing.example if you were to pick your
piece up in the morning and then pick the same
piece up in the afternoon in the same spot you might have a couple
thou difference. the soft scale is supposed to
commpensate for this. i think you can only use it
in only two axis's like x,y. now i'm just jogging
my brain on this , i,m sure some one know's more
on this. sorry i could'nt be more help.
have a good day
