Work thread

That's lookin' sweet. You could do stove top cooking if desired.

 

I'm gonna say it'll last a while but not that long. Cam looks rough.

 

Yup pretty much my prediction as well.

 

Always remember Lads, bosses are like diapers, full of chit and always on your A$$. That's why they get paid the big money !!!!

 

Yes sir. Spot on. I have pretty a good boss and the owner understands. It's just we are an individually owned small company so gotta make stuff last.

 

This is a great sight!

 

I did the production at all cost thing for a long time at the dealership. This place isn’t like that. Just educated idiots making dumb decisions that cost more time and money in the long run. The up side is there is all the hours I want to work always, with the occasional chit show fire drill.

 

I must be a lucky one. I saw my boss for the first time this year on 11/9. He lives about 4 hours south-east and lets me alone 95% of the time.

 

I've been just cruising along here at the shop. All the eq. Is out on job sites and running well. Have to go and mess with some little piddle stuff so I haven't posted any pics lately. Now that I've said this all hell will break loose!

 

My dink finger gloves drying out for tomorrow's fun with the Schwing.

 

“I’m just a player in the band I didn’t write the music” is a common line from me.

 

Rough day with the Schwing today… is there such thing as negative slump?

 

Today was tear apart and drill holes in a 250,000$ truck.

That's always fun finding all the hardware and hidden clips.

 

Air compressor on a Mac granite. It's not in a good spot.

 

Installed new bottom rollers, track master pins, and a little hard surfacing.

 

I'm a Buyer at a pump manufacturer for my profession. We're seen this going back to the date of your post, and it's still an issue with different lubricants. There's a lubricant that is used on a type of graphite impregnated packing rope shaft seal that is currently a thorn in my side. It didn't help that the manufacturer closed the old plant in Illinois and moved all manufacturing to a new plant in South Africa. They haven't been able to produce this rope gasket for months and after it finally gets made it has to go by ship to all over, notably back to Chicago area. Go figure. I see rolling shortages/ outages for all sorts of commodities.

The components that I buy are used to build pumps that provide water to the tops of skyscrapers, municipal sub stations, for watering of crops, use in HVAC, and even pumping/ moving water in wastewater treatment plants.

 

I haven’t had time to go through this thread yet. But the part I did, you guys have just made me tired! Dam, I wish I had the mechanical skill you gentlemen have!
