You might enjoy watching the taming of the Black Canyon that turned into the Hoover dam. My old company Bechtel changed from being a local San Fransisco construction company into a major engineering construction company
Were you down this way for the STP project?
Kyle, you have been busy. Do you have a summer class too?
Everyone have a great day!
LS, your place looks beautiful, like an oasis in the desert. I'm not faculty, however a few times each semester I do get a chance to lecture some classes on some of the equipment we teach with, mainly for safety and to show off each machine's abilities.
One of my former student helper/trainees is moving to my hometown to work in a Caterpillar factory as a manufacturing engineer. I told him where the best burgers are for the price, and he says they've already been there.
Having a "kick back" day. Need the rest. Had to swap and migrate 3 tires on the SUV, getting the spare disconnected was the worst. I had to lay out cardboard, go prone, lift up the heavy truck tire and figure out the disconnect from the lowering cable. They now have a kind of a button to push to unhook the "bell" from the cable, to turn the bell sideways and get it out. You have to have enough slack in the lowering cable to get it unhooked.
We went to 2 church services. Wifey was actually comforted that I dragged her to the 2nd church, since some friends' daughter was having a fish fry graduation party after church in the fellowship hall. Yummy catfish and crazy good desserts. The strawberry cake was primo.
There, I have used both desert and dessert in my post today, Ha! I hope I got the spellings correct for you English language teachers.
Wifey is getting prepared for teaching summer vacation bible school tomorrow.
Scott, you wouldn't want to wash that great patina off the old girl.
Billy, more Della pics please?
Popgadget, I'm starting to believe you have 36 hours in a day....tig welds look better than mine by far.
I'm wanting to get a small spool of hard facing wire, to run a couple of beads on my lawnmower blades, then sharpen them. A friend is telling me it works wonders for staying sharp longer. He shoots for 60 Rockwell finished. my research says a limit of 4 layers of hard facing max. I know TXDon had a pile of blades from his zero turn that were good blades initially, but his sandy land blasted them dull.
The lone Peahen gets vocal when she gets left behind by the 2 chickens. Right now, the 6 month old ducks are my best bug eaters, but the mallard is eating too many katydids, of which we have a huge population explosion of. Daughter has had to massage the mallard's gullet, to get the bulge to go down. My drive is stone, so they have plenty of gizzard stone available. Katydids are everywhere and loud most of the day. They used to be kind of rare, and make great fishing bait.
PJS, glad to see you're still here every so often.
Anyone have any recommendations on any series on Netflix? We just re- signed up again after being off for the last half year or so.
David, glad your babysitters took good care of your place/pups. Hope you make headway on the relationship with your son/DIL/grandaughter. and your grass cutting equipment.
L4N, glad your sending back the heart monitor, hope everything is ticking like a good watch.
Prayers for our team.
gave Kubota much needed bubble bath afterwards.
