Simple. Because people only want to pay $9 bucks. Brackets are the worst. I have learned to flat out tell friends that want some kind of bracket, to either find and buy exactly what they need, or I might possibly modify a purchased one.
Question: So at work, on the waterjet cutter, for some reason they installed a water softener/DI system. Our water is so soft, we have to go to Don's neighborhood to get the soap off our backs. The salt has not gone down/dissolved in a year. It is starting to make salt chunks at the plumbing connections.
Do we even need a water softener if it won't consume the salt?
I've been having trouble with my left eye for well over a year. It makes matter. I tried different drops, even Cipro drops that about burned my eye out. I've never had a sty or pink eye in my life. It was bothering me yesterday evening, and this morning there was a swollen bag under my eye about the size of a nickel. I went to the clinic, Doc said possible sty. Prescribed Tobramycin (have tried it before with no success). She said she would refer me to an optometrist. I went up to the front desk to make an optometrist appt, and they said OK, on April 26th. I said I guess I need to find a new optometrist. It actually hurts like a black eye. It kind of itches, but hurts when you touch it.
Work was BUSY! moving company came and moved out 5 machine tools, and moved 1 from downstairs up to the main level. Our big building is kind of a walkout basement format.
Ended up helping a student who's about to graduate, fix a 3 jaw lathe chuck runout problem. Turns out some bum from some time ago, put the A-5 chuck on without cleaning the chips off of the precision ground taper. Grrrrrr. These are the kind of things that would get people ran out of my shops over the years, if I had something to do with it. Yes, it ruined the precision taper. Best we can get it is .003" TIR now. I guess I could program it, and indicate it in, and recut it on the cnc mill. It would probably take 6 hours to get it right. grrrrr.
Bupps, more prayers for you to get better.
All guests have returned home. School started back for my kids. Life back to "normal".
Rip, so glad to hear the news. Prayers.
My Grandparents lived about 13.6 miles from Washington's Crossing. Would love to be there. He worked at Rohm and Haas, probably at the stinky place y'all talked about. They invented either acrylic or polycarbonate IIRC... He was a maintenance machinist. Was in the 4th Armored Division that helped rescue the Battle of the Bulge guys.
RNG, batten the hatches! Get your wetsuit ready and the floatable gold mining digger. Aren't there a lot of people who go gold mining after torrential rains in California gold country?
