Forgive the blatant ignorance, but what is that? Whatever it is, it is sexy and has a very cool history. 😎

@ColbyLang I'm digging that banner on the back wall, is queen/empress part of the company or model name?

You are ever the detective, @canugghead. And often a successful one.

This is what translate came up with but I don’t know if it can see all the letters or what the heck it means.

Rheon Artisan V4 bread system. It’s a stress free divider and string line. It’s about 60” and 40” wide. A lot newer than my current. Will be capable of running about 3 tons of dough per hour thru this one. It’s approximately 20% faster than our current line. And brand new. Old one getting antiquated and electronics getting harder to find other than eBay. We ordered this in January.

@ColbyLang

Thanks for the explanation. Looks and sounds like something that nearly qualifies for the Exotics thread. 

Forgive me if I’ve missed prior reference, but I guess you are into baked goods manufacturing? Either that, or you have a serious carb addiction.

What the heck, my attempt to suppress the mouse fart...

In the absence of any potential strokes cut off at the top, it says queen/empress #1, perhaps it's a nickname + serial #1. As for the translate result you got E sounds similar to #1, not sure where Zhang came from though

Yes to both. We own a large regional bakery specializing in New Orleans style French bread.

Maybe this will help your translations……

Ah ha, thanks for the complete picture. Without the 'roof' the first character on the left means female, the second means king; with the roof they mean safety. Was wondering about the cross

Safety first!

Indeed, but the cables on the ground speak otherwise, lol.
Edit: and zero distancing during Covid?

alaskanassasin

What caught my eye was the green arrow on the wall looks like it’s been running a little hot

ColbyLang

The cables are in fact air lines supplied to the machine only while testing it. This is their R&D lab. Covid was meh over there. Some of the Japanese techs had on masks, the others (including the company president) did not

No dog in this hunt, but the Red River Rivalry game has been amazing football to watch.

Kind of a neat video containing 100 “kitchen hacks”. Some were new to me; others were not. Insightful and quick video.

I watched a lot of Joshua's videos earlier on, but his Junior High level of humor (in prose, and audio/video editing, and worship of his own ass) had me stop watching him.  
However, there were a lot of fascinating hacks here, and I'll be watching it again in about a week or so, as I probably missed a few things (I completely disagree with him on #85, however).  Thanks!  

Corv

That was indeed a good one. I generally don't watch videos or if I do, watch them on 1.25 speed. This one was informative and fast-paced; I watched it on normal speed. And I'll probably watch it again, too. Thanks!

Speaking of collisions, @Ozzie_Isaac, this is a very sad story with a minor personal connection. My daughter is taking equestrian lessons here and had just formed a pretty great bond with one of the two horses that was killed; the owner had previously remarked one of the two horses, “Indy”, or Indiana, didn’t take to people the way she did to my daughter.

They’re still searching for the driver who broke the fence and simply drove off. 

Saw the owner Saturday morning and they were very distraught. Death of one human being and of two horses just because someone didn’t report having broken their fence. People can be awful.

We had our nephew, who is a freshman at IU, over with some of his buddies for the Colts game. They did a great job of cleaning out the fridge and pantry. Lol….kind of like those goats people rent out to clean up a property. In and out with everything stripped clean. 

I wouldn’t have it any other way. 

Go Colts!

Awe, man that is awful.  For the horses and the driver.

Who ever damaged the fence took a minor property damage situation and turned it into human and animal deaths.

I am glad your daughter is taking lessons!  Hopefully, this doesn't disuade her.  Losing an animal you have a bond with is very difficult.  Horses have so much personality and can make very strong bonds when they choose a person.

Thanks for the response.

My daughter took it much better than I thought she would. There were lessons yesterday morning (to ensure a sense of normalcy for the owner, I suspect) and we took flowers and offered condolences. 

Like I say, owner seemed pretty shaken.
