my cnc machine arrived!!!

[Dragonkort]

welll i had to wait all day but finally about quter to 5 the ups man came and dropped it off!  opened the box and took a peek but we wont be putting it together until tomarrow.  its a little late to start something like now today.... wish the usb thingy was at the top of  the box so i could install it and start reading the directions for the program but oh well at least its here now and its not going anywhere and nothing can happen to it!!  now let us all pray that i will be able to understand the program and can learn how t o use it!!!  the only thing that concerns me really is how much math will be invloved with it....but i have spike here to help me with that and once i know where i'll down load patterns for it onto a jumpdrive plus save what ever patterns i might be able to manage to make to a jump drive too...that way if anything happens to spike i'll still have some patterns i can use...well smells like the pork chops are done so im off to get eat a little something

I hope the pork chops are stuffed! Been years since I had pork.What no pictures yet? String us along why don,t you. I,m too old to learn math I never learned to begin with, hopefully Spike and you ,2 heads are better than one with this CNC thingy,lol

no they werent stuffed...just baked to almost burnt with lots of pepper.....i like my meat dry and very well done......spike had to go into town...or rather the bigger town 20 miles away to get something....when he gets back he said he will help me try to put it together....i was thinking id more be watching him put it  together ..... i tend to mess up everything i tr;y to do.... i know what you mean about the math.... im afraid i will have to send it back before the time is up as i have little to no math skills and spikes is more just simple math....i got both computers up and running so i could try to download easle  but theres a download for winzip update driver and i don tknow if im suppose to down load that first or if its just an add or what sigh almost in tears oh well we will see i guess...i can hear spikes i told you so already

You'll need to do a lot of math with them.. all decimals too.. which I suck at as well, LOL... BUT.. my software is awesome and maybe your will be too? But I can put in a fraction such as 1/2 and then hit the = on my keyboard and it'll enter it in as a decimal for me .5..  I will say though.. from what little I've run mine.. I have been learning my decimals.. I bet my math teacher is proud of me looking down from above,  see.. they should have put me on a CNC way back then if they wanted me to learn math.. Funny how life happens sometimes... Like I failed math when it came to decimals and fractions etc.. but now.. I know them better than I ever did..

sigh, im not sure at this point that we'll even keep mine.....spike spent half the day trying to put it together and hes a nervious wreak now....and it still isnt all put toghter and we havent even gotten to the electric computer parts...sigh i dont know if he'll be willing to eveb try to tackle it tomorrow or not and i dont know anyone who could come over and help us with it....  im tired depressed and i have a headace.... and i cant do math at all really and spike can only do simple math.... so it seems were not smart enough...going to go to bed and pray we can take what hes managed to  put together apart again so we can pack it all up and send it back....
