I suspect that for the most part yes. If a new site is developed quickly enough perhaps content could be copied then pasted into the new site unless I a wrong. If I am right, very labor intense for sure.

More important is maintaining email addresses and means of contacting members.

10 ft of 3/4 rigid conduit last summer when i bid job, 26 bucks, today 40 bucks. 500 ft spool #12 thhn wire, 70 bucks last summer, 100 bucks now, etc etc.

I doubt these prices ever go back down. Too many people still buying.

At work, we buy chemicals by the ton. Every year we go out for bid on 200tons per year. We usually have 2-3 bidders for each commodity. This past year we got no bids at all. No one wants to commit to a price that they may not be able to meet next month. interesting times.

PHOTOS OF GENERAL INTEREST (NOT TOOLS OR SHOP RELATED) / Re: Fascination of Bird Watching

I've been spotting Orioles for the past two weeks. Here's a male enjoying some Welch's Concord Grape Jelly. They feast on Jelly and oranges for about a four to six weeks in our area. Then their diet changes to higher protein to service their young...  The little yellow fella on the feeder to the left is a Yellow House Finch



They are very skittish and hard to photograph. I caught him in med-flight...



I catch Bluejays several times a week. They are territorial and and show up alone...

Thanks gentlemen. I purchased that furniture 40 years ago and have come to appreciate their timeless style and quality. The pedistal and table desk along with the round table are from Stickley. The red leather couch and four chairs are from Hickory Furniture.

As per a member's suggestion, I hung up a dozen pictures that I had stored away...
