Really? For razor blades? I figured cnc and robotics

 

Since I don't know anything about surveying, what does your tolerance ratio stand for?

 

Yup we have Cnc and robots too. We build machines from scratch and ship them around the world.

 

Ah that makes sense then!

 

I screwed up when I made a big deal about how I hated the chrome grill, now she looks at other tacos and notices the differences.

 

Didn't someone recently back into you in a parking lot while you were grocery shopping or something? ;-)

 

if its a manual, maybe you forgot to put on the e brake one day, or maybe some how you left your automatic in neutral and it rolled into something?

 

There was some rust starting and you had to replace the bumper so it didn't spread to your frame

 

Hahaha, replace the plastic bumper with a steel one to avoid rust.

 

Hey if I told my GF that, she wouldn't question me!

 

Told my wife the same thing about my grill. Absolutely hate it and how I wanted to buy a new one. She looked at me and asked when I was starting my second job to pay for it.

 

Its a mathematical closure based upon the angles you measure and the distances recorded. In a perfect world, you should end up exactly where you start when you trace a perimeter, but you may be off a few seconds of a degree every time you turn an angle and a couple tenths of a foot when you finish tracing the perimeter. Its a unit-less number, but if you are measuring in feet, you cant be off more than 1' for every 75,000' you run (which is a very high tolerance to meet for surveying).

 

Thank you sir!

 

So I thought about it while I was at the meeting. Here's the excuse:

I bought it because....


It was on sale!

Of course I'll include just enough sarcasm so that she'll not be sure if it actually was on sale or if I'm throwing her excuse back at her...

 

Yup

 

I had a friend in high school who ended up working there as a machinist, I think. Do you know a James Casey?

 

The name sounds familiar but I don't know him personally.

 

Yeah, my cousin Ryan used to work for them making razors. Been around 10 years I think since he quit, though.

 

Dad and I were doing the lower intermediate shaft on his truck and I found this

 

Ewww, that sucks!
