Yep, the top three buttons Robatoy always loved pushing were marked:
1. SketchUp
2. SketchUp
3. SketchUp

Yep, Good idea, easy to clean, and inflammable to boot.
As the cook of the family I'd find that handy also. Thanks for posting.

Inflammable is much like the word functionality. Function always works in
a sentence, no need to dress it up with extra letters.

Totally agree. I never met Rob in person because we just never could
organize it. But, over the years, here online, I got to know the man
and he got to know me.

And just as a follow up, some of us here lovingly blame him for our
Festool addiction. I think before Festool was on the radar for many of
us he pointed me towards a German video showing this amazing brand new
European tool called a Domino. And he could not say enough about the
Rotex. Good advice and direction from a great guy!
And don't get me started on his view of KetcUP. LOL

Some folks you just don't need to meet face to face to feel like you
both knew them, and, at the same time, knowing that you'd just met a
friend for life ... no matter how short that turned out to be. Robatoy
was definitely one of those individuals.
A year or so before Rob passed away, -MIKE- Radcliffe sent Robatoy,
Steve Turner and I a special beer, via snail mail, and after delivery,
arranged a Google video Hangout for us to meet and drink a toast.
One of those cool things the internet makes possible (for the
non-Luddites amongst us, that is <g,d&r> ). Will always be appreciative
to -MIKE- for recognizing that, and making it happen.
Rob was ill at the time, but you would not have known it, as he sat in
his robe, with his pup on his lap, and regaled us with his unique sense
of humor, and Angela joined in for a bit as well.
We talked about expanding it, just never got around to it. Damned shame
that is, for it indeed left a lasting memory of special friends, with a
common interest, whom you may never actually meet in person.

Has it been that long already? Wow. Seems like last week.
I didn't know him well but I always enjoyed his posts and appreciated
his input on all things.

One of my favorites is the verbing of nouns (when a perfectly good
verbs exists). My all time fav was "solution", as in "we'll solution
that problem". Management kept that one going for years.

Angela's response on FaceBook:
Angela Small Sekeris Thank you all, you all meant so much to Rob
Sekeris, He treasured your friendships, please know and share that. The
'wreck' and all you all shared there was such an important part of his
life, especially his last year.

Yeah... Rob loved being in the cutting edge of things. He loved his tools =
and chided me on and off line for not purchasing an oscillating tool for my=
remodeling/repair efforts. Turned out he was right, when the Fein kits we=
re around $350, it still would have been a bargain.
I remember his love of Lamello, and he needled me a lot about buying the ve=
nerated PC557. I wouldn't buy a Grex pin nailer, another tool he <knew> I =
needed and that would find its way into the conversation along with his lov=
e of his Rotex sanders.
I loved to see Rob push buttons, and he had the direct line to tick some pe=
ople off. He wasn't mean about it, but loved to stir the pot, then sit bac=
k and laugh.
Sadly, I lost touch with Rob when this group became almost completely a pol=
itical screaming match and I went away. Although he was a great craftsman =
and innovator (carving the sheaves of wheat with his CNC mill onto kitchen =
cab doors blew my mind) I miss his sense of humor the most.
Gone but not forgotten.

Yep, I have one of, if not the last thing he built on his CNC, it is a
proud addition to my kitchen and dang handy too. He was too ill at the
time to come out and install it himself and just sent it by courier, I
installed it with a bit of his advise.
A very generous and funny man that is missed.

Yep, I agree totally, it is just a small shelf made from cutoffs from
his counter materials, it sits above the oven with veggie oil, olive
oil, vinegar bottles, a mortar/pestle, salt and pepper and a timer, all
so handy to have at immediate reach when cooking. He lived about three
hours away, the timing never worked out to actually meet.

He wanted some pictures after I had it up on the wall, apparently some
people
had seen it and were interested in one. I think it was a one off though
as he unfortunately passed several months after I got it.
He just recommended PL7000 to attach it to the tile and it has been rock
solid and not having to dive into the cupboards to find that stuff is so
handy when cooking. I just spread the adhesive on the back, propped the
shelf on some cans of kernel corn on the back of the stove, pushed it
against the wall and waited a few hours.

Point of pedantry: Of the trio of words for that idea (flammable,
inflammable and non-flammable), only the last one refers to things that
*don't* burn.
Why three (or even four if you count non-inflammable) terms for a binary
concept? Who knows.
