Showing students an old military video on DC generators and DC motors.  It's a pretty damn good video

Really enjoy those old vids.  Here's one from the 50s I recently stumbled upon, an artist at work with his hook and hacksaw.  Pretty sad, how hard it is these days, to find an artist.  

Ah, the good ol' days.

Watching Today,
Christian Slater makes me feel old, and the gray hairs in my beard stand out.
Gleaming The Cube was my jam back in the day.

Channeling my inner pyro.  Burned all of my leaves today in this fire pit with a 5 gal bucket.  Worked great while putzin' with the KBQ.

My first beer run to Bent River Brewing Co. while the KBQ was lit.  Got to BS'n at the bar with a Michigander who was in town for a mech engineer interview at Deere.  Picked up a Growler of Steamboat IPA and Replicale.  Lovin' these new rtic Six Fos.

Brew N Que...time to get Bent on this beautiful Fall evening.

Finally rolling smoke - waiting for temp to put on the baby backs for the not-very-presidential debate.

I'm only about 3 hours behind schedule.

Hey @Focker Enjoy getting bent - probably the best way to watch the debate.

I just noticed your neighbor's outbuilding roof.  I'll bet he gets nervous every time you step outside with a match.

Thanks bud, most definitely will.
Steamboat IPA, and the cook's treat.  Misting with Red Stripe.  Things are looking gooood.


Fortunately, Jeff's cool.  If it burnt down him and Jen wouldn't care.

The neighbor might be grateful for an errant spark. That roof has seen better days and a little fire might "spark" his motivation to redo it.

Drinking a few beers before the debate. Should be easier to watch this way.

Yep, that thatch is cool and all, but don't last long here in IL.  Maybe two seasons where it stands now.

Corrugated is the way to go.

Pretty cool with her all lit up at dusk.

The Dave's Habanero Powder helped lighten it up.  5 hours with apple.  Sauce, a disservice.

Procrastinating by watching baseball instead of packing for Brisket Camp.

Beer and S'mores a la bamboo skewer.  A lovely pairing.

We just had a brand new Wire EDM machine installed here at the shop.  Here is a sample of what it is capable of.  On once side you see the Mitsubishi logo.  You turn the piece over and it says EDM.  One pass with the wire.  Cuts way faster than the other three EDM machines we have.

Getting a walk-in  full of 70+℉ kegs cold again.  I'd hate to be the bartender telling patrons...Sorry no cold drafts


&....it's repaired. I'm pretty sure the proprietor wanted to give me a hug

Wishing I was at Brisket Camp.

@Botch

Basically a .010" diameter wire (2-3 times the thickness of human hair) cuts (erodes) hardened steel to very tight tolerances (.0002" is standard tolerance but tighter can be held)

edit: now when i say it is way faster than our other three machines. . . when it is cutting, you can't tell the head is moving.

Hey - I'm doing the same thing today!  Feels good, but makes me want to question every future purchase.

Never question your your future purchases.  When was the last time you were wrong?

We're doing much the same...cleaning out the basement so it can be waterproofed and renovated.  Keep pushing the wife..."We haven't used this is 3 years.  I think we can donate it."
