Kyle, are the students going on to study for an engineering degree?
Yes, they are engineering students.
I cannot begin to stress how important that really is. As a Quality Jerk, I've spent a fair portion of the last 23 years trying to get engineers to walk out on the production floor and actually get their hands into the manufacturing processes. "It works on paper" doesn't always translate to real world manufacturing success. Knowing what works and what doesn't is a big part of good design. People have to be able to get their hands and/or tools into the spaces where parts need to go, and they must be able to do it efficiently. Knowing the flow of the manufacturing processes is also crucial. Entirely too many engineers make it painfully obvious that they've never actually built anything.
Sounds like your organization gets this, Kyle. Kudos.
We try, but I can tell you, that there are some who can ace the tests/math but they can't design worth a flip even when graduated. My former boss (an engineer) would send his young workers back to me with their designs. I went so easy on them, that often they'd come back for the next design and do a "white board" back and forth to help them.

I'm way behind in thread again, so best shot ... Catching Up Is Hard To Do. Well, okay, more precisely Keeping Up ...
NOW I know where and how, he gets his name
Wife's Birthday today, she's on her way home from Prince George (8 hr trip) with her dad now. So any birthday plans that I had for us are essentially awash, she won't be home until after dinner. She's basically been gone for 11 months, so I had plans for a day out with her, dinner, hotel and catch up time just the 2 of us. The great escape will be delayed. However I did ace it, I think, in the gift department. (and balloons count as blow up toys don't they ?
- well, that's my story anyway.
I need a nap, or coffee. I think nap is winning. It's still too early to call it morning.
Haphappy birthday to your wifey and hope she made it safe and sound.
Drew, thanks for being our liaison. You have an ambassador quality in your large bag of talents. I just hope she knows how much we loved Randy.
Work is hectic busy. I told my bosses I needed to go to Chucky Cheeses at the mall to play "Whack a Mole" at lunch.... A lot on my plate. Get 1 thing done while 3 things get piled on. I get home, I'm too tired to do my stuff. My fitbit likes what I'm doing, but my knees and feet don't.
Billy, congrats on your finishing the A/T. I pray your family has a good time whilst visiting.
Popgadget, nice pistola, hope the suit buying goes well. Not my cup of tea either, but you gotta do what you gotta do.
LS how are things in New Mexico? Hope to hear from you soon.
RNG, I'm glad you're able to go out and have more fun nowadays. Good for you.
Barn welder sitrep: Since I have very little time or energy when I get home, and since I got such a great deal on the Millermatic 250 tig machine, I have lost interest in sinking more money and time into the old Miller Roughneck 1E (with the single cylinder Kohler)....so I might see if I can find it a new home. I also have a plain jane lincoln AC tombstone stick welder. Wondering if I should sell that too? Sometimes a stick will penetrate better IMO....but I do so little welding....so maybe I'll sell the Lincoln stick welder too. I would give the Roughneck 1E to the right person. (I know its not worth much).
I've had a bit of another outlook forming up in my head about projects...I used to horde them, saving them for a rainy day and retirement, and have many in my barn....but with life as it is, again I just don't seem to have the time and energy to work on them after work. They are collecting cellar spiders. With my young kids, I hope to work another 9 years to get a bit of retirement besides SS. Magic number at work is 80 (age + years of service = 80) I'm only 62, my mind thinks I'm young but my knees think otherwise. If I can last 9 years at work, I can hit the 80 magic number.
Today I will put a new window motor and regulator in my daughter's car. Then work on my MIL's Snapper RER.
Prayers for our team, our nation, Ukraine, and for Putin to find God.
