Hello, Piet friends-We're going on a cruise out of Ft. Lauderdale, sailing Monday 12/8, but we arrive at the airport on Sunday 12/7 and need a recommendation on a hotel for the night. Any of you Pieters familiar with the airport and dock area of Ft. Lauderdale that could help out with a good hotel? Think clean, reasonable, and not too remote.And since we don't sail till the afternoon Monday, we're thinking of grabbing a taxi or shuttle into Miami on Monday morning to find some of that Cuban coffee for breakfast on Calle Ocho in Little Havana. If the fare is too expensive, we might consider renting a car for the day but worry that it'll get stolen while we're in having breakfast. Even though we aren't elderly German tourists ;o)Thanks, friends.Oscar ZunigaSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.netShop online for kids toys by age group, price range, and toy category at MSN Shopping.

I bought one of their nibblers and it was a POS. worked for about 8" andjust stopped. When I would put it to a small piece of metal it wouldn't moveat all. What they do have that is worth the money is a "vice brake" it comes insizes from 4" to 8" and uses a vice to provide the power to bend metal.Works great ! and they are cheap, about $ 14-$ 19 depending on size. It hasa wedge on one side and a V side on the other and the parts have heavymagnets which attach to the vice jaws, just crank down and bent the metal to90 degrees or more with a wedge. With a large vice and by grinding theradius on the wedge you can bend 1/8 " 4130, but not to 90 degrees.Dennis Engelkenjohnps..Harbor Freight welding helmets work well too. Bought an auto darkeningfor $ 59 last week and it is great.----- Original Message -----
