    Seems to be holding up damn well . . .

    I guess compared to a slab , it has a lot of give , I have never been inside the post office to see, but I remember a few threads about slabs being damaged by some kind of rollers they use to move the mail around ?

    I guess when going through these rollers the Slabs just crack , whereas Chucky is allowed to bend and move without showing much stress .

    Interesting thread . . .

    Glad to hear he made it safe and sound.

    prscott933, if the DEA come knocking on your door, deny knowing anything and you're all good.

    Will update the map tomorrow. Sorry loyal Chucky followers...
    Next MONTH? So he's saying that if he wins, the best-case scenario is that he'll be paying for it two weeks after the auction ends?

    Forget blocking him; find out where he lives and go punch him in the nuts. --WalterSobchak 9/12/12

    Just as a side note: After I scanned Chuck, he went into the envelope and was mailed the next day. While I didn't look very closely at the card, I didn't notice corner wear.

    Not saying it wasn't there, just didn't notice anything. So, any obvious damage must have occured while in transit.

    You can't change the whole thing half way through it! What kind of scientist are you Lawnmowerman?!

    Oh well, just make sure that Chuck still has a head and can see when he gets to me.

    due to more bad weather and chuck being a wussy his photo shoot got cut short and he did not make it to the Negro League Baseball Museum or Kauffman Stadium as planned. However, he did have some exciting times image

    Chuck started off by checking out my spectrometer
    imageimage

    Then he made a stop on my new grill that is getting too little use due to this dang weather and my old grill

    Chuck and I then admired our next batch of beer. Yummy! Irish Stout!

    Chuck stopped by my Broncos bear and then decided to brag about how he hit a game winning homerun at the 1985 NLCS. I quickly corrected him!!!! LIAR!!

    Chuck finished off his day by chatting with Albert (not the Pujols type)

    What exactly is this contraption? Is it your time machine or something you use to make beer?

    Either way, Chuck seems to like it. Maybe you can take him back in time to teach him exactly how to hit the first baseman with the ball instead of throwing it to the fans behind the first base foul line. ( Sorry Chuck image)

    Originally yes, but at his request I bumped him down the line.

    Also, the card will be going to Gumbyfan next. We changed it due to a really cool "surprise" he may be able to do with the card image

    What are you up to with EM and particles at relativistic energies?

    After all this excitement, Chuck may not be very interested in what I have planned...

    i was measuring the radius of particle travel of some relativistic particles that i was flowing through a magnetic field. i wrote those up there so i could visualize the correlations between r, mass, B and q

    i love my chalkboard image i hate white boards...

    Nice.

    I think the equation for determining PSA 8 vs PSA 8.5 is best captured with a magic 8 ball.

    So the "Knobby does America" scandal with my wife is out of the question? HAHAHA

    Naa, I just figured it would be cool to get a photo of Chuck cutting up the dancefloor and stuff, lol.

    My guess, if you try to take pictures of Chuck on the dancefloor at the reception, he can stick around and get some pictures with you signing the divorce papers as well. image

    Chuck is here, but someone wants to speak to him before I send him off to his next spot. I will be trying again tomorrow (and the next day...and so on) until I can convince Chuck to go to the meeting. I just hope the other party is agreeable to the photo once I talk to him. image

    Chucky is still in Milwaukee. He went on a brewery tour at Sprecher and hasn't left the beer tent. He is going to try to have his meeting again today and if he can't get in this week, he's going to be back on the road. Chucky may be a bit intoxicated, but he's safe and in good hands.
