Good Morning!!!! 54F @ 7:45AM. Mostly sunny. High 74F. Winds NW at 10 to 20 mph.
What a relief those positive test results were, Kyle, but if you're still feeling under the weather, they're not much consolation, either. Here's hoping the surgery will do the trick and you'll be back to your old self in a couple weeks.
That video was no laughing matter, Don. Really sad that man let himself get into that condition. On the other hand, I'm happy to hear you took so well to the wood shop training, and are now fully qualified to join planets. Once you've finished your wood projects, perhaps NASA could put your new found skills to good use?:laughing:
I'm glad cooler heads prevailed, Rich, and you're not running off to Europe half cocked. Right out of school I found myself asked to make a weld at the bottom of a water filled nuclear reactor vessel using equipment I determined was not up to the job. After a month of waiting for another fiasco to be fixed, the feces hit the fan when I was unable to get the job done. When I reminded the man in charge he'd been told of the problem weeks before, he lunged at me as if to shake me by the collar. Fortunately for me, I was on the other side of a containment barrier, dressed in a bunny suit and decked out with dosimeters, and was able to narrowly avoid his grasp. But his drill sargent's voice set the whole building ringing. After he calmed down, he directed his wrath where it needed to go and two days later I was finally able to return home, not to a hero's welcome, but to criticism from the same manager who's poor decisions caused the situation in the first place. It wasn't long after that i found a much better job elsewhere...
Had lunch with my buddy that runs the custom motorcycle shop in town yesterday, and he's working on a new project to mate a '60 era Ford pickup truck body to a '90s era Crown Victoria chassis, both of which were purchased at auction for less than a grand total. Guess things must be slow on the motorcycle side.:laughing: Aside from the vibration, the van ran well, the only issue being a small oil leak from the new decoupler that I think will be easy to fix with some teflon pipe thread tape. The good news is there was no sign of a leak around the oil pan, and my suspicion that the oil I saw there before was coming from the old decoupler may be correct. That leaves me to focus on the drive shaft and getting the transaxle and front differential properly aligned to quiet the shakes. More quality time on my back, squinting and measuring.:laughing:
TGIF gang!:drink:
hope the driver was okay.
