Anybody got a time machine...? ;)

I'd just love to go back in time and snatch the solid scales pile in this pic....
I freakin' hate the hollow scales....  :rant:

      The old solid scales were great.  I thought about replacing a set on an old three layer, but kept them and buffed them up instead.  They look great and feel super too. 
       I do have a time machine, but the dial melted and you can't read it anymore.  Might end up in the ice age or running for your life from a Gigabyte or something.  They don't make parts for it anymore.  Just like the solid red things.  Best wishes.  Gary

I was hoping to get a nice stash, and be back in the 80's forever as a bonus....

According to Einstein only time travel forward is possible.  I.E. Time paradox.

But according to Prof. Diamond, space and time are relative and can both be manipulated separately or as a group. Einstein was only working with a theory, not reality.

The only thing required for time travel back is that you beat entropy. It's that easy!
And in case you succeed, and, when you have found a way to speed up entropy (or else you can't get forward in time), can I give you a list of some wanted old SAK's...??

We beat entropy every day of our lives.When we can't it's called death. A constant input of energy is needed to overcome entropy. when that input stops, entropy rules. Basic second law of thermodynamics. △G=△H-T△S

The Time Paradox is still valid. If you were able to go back in time and somehow your father dies before you were born; then you wouldn't exist and couldn't go back in time; etc.

You can't screw with the universe. You loose every time.
