Good Morning

[69crawler]

That sucks right before the holidays.

Nature of the trade.

Money in bank to keep bills paid until the new year and some extra for projects if I don’t got the materials on hand as is.

[PhantomEB]

See....roll with the punches......name hired back up to work. Major pieces of steel found in the processing train of line 2 and 3. Looks like we gonna be looking for how and where. I can see me working until the holidays now.

[69crawler]

Good news. What do you do?

[PhantomEB]

Journeyman millwright by trade. -30*C temps sure make heavy process equipment break easily. This time chain of the apron feeder sheared the teeth straight off the 6” thick 6’ diameter drive sprocket. We were on standdown all 12 hours last night waiting on direction whether they gonna weld them back on or....

all i I know is I want to be home by Sunday night for the holidays at the latest!

[PhantomEB]

3/4 the way up to work, told job on hold, turn around......

frustration led to this, got to get back productive..... time to seal this tank up once the lines fully welded out.

Good Morning All,

I hope you all are making the best of things, not working too hard if the business you are in is considered essential, getting some Bronco time, and not thinking about killing your Wife or children since they are home with you 24/7! Be Safe and wash up! Doug

Good morning, all!

day 5 (Ithink) of my 95% self isolation, only go out for the essential part I need and beer.

Better half has to work due to her essential job at the TV station, otherwise nobody would get the news. Due to her 1/3rd of the day focus on the news, we have mandated a minimal viewing of the news at home.

i am just awaiting on UPS for my steering links and heater box. Until then it’s gonna be weld up all the extra holes and grind smooth.

My job is essential so business as usual. My wife is bored out of her mind. If only I could get my wife to do my job so I could spend days on the EB.

Just some light humor!!


Coronavirus Pandemic, day 16
if anyone is still out there, we're alive but struggling.Food is running low. Down to only 459 days worth. Our hands are super sanitized and our butt's are super clean. Down to 1599 rounds of ammo (dropped 1 round down the heat vent while doing daily inventory). Power is still on, but for how long? Missing human interaction but i have my dogs.. for now... (i'm soaking their food BBQ sauce in an attempt to marinate them from the inside in case i have to eat them) . i fear dark days ahead. News is all bad. Neighbors have attempted to leap from windows to their death, or near death.... most have single story homes so they are badly bruised.) Blew through most netflix series so may have to rewatch some again... Basic Survival is a definite challenge. i vow to persevere to the end, i am a survivor!! Please, if there is life out there, communicate with me to help preserve my sanity....

Good morning friends!

im just keeping busy by sanding and painting things until my new camshaft shows up.
the last time these doors were painted was with OSH satin black paint.
I miss that paint, it was the most durable, easiest paint to use.

Good morning, America!

killed off another project which will be cool to have kicking around the shop. Converted my bender to become mobile.

Week 6... And I took on another rewire job. Kenny's rig. It is going slow, lots of things to think about the layout before pulling the wire... And plenty of things to identify before ripping out stuff!

This is a before picture

Holy crap what a cluster Fu** that is :-). I know it's going to come out sweet when your done. Thanks Doug.
