Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

In just 3 short hours they found my package and changed the delivery date for the third time.

 

Is it some kind of press? Looks like there's a piston element to it?

Actually, it looks more like it's on rails instead of a piston.

 

I'm not 100% sure, it does have some moving parts on it that make it look sorta like a press and I made one just like it a few years ago but I can't remember what it does

 

At my old job I had 4 UPS guys over the years -- I feel all really did their best for me. If I was waiting for a critical part they would text me when they got in town so I could go meet them and get it. Good guys all of them.

 

My boss just emailed me a picture of the part I got done today. The customer sent it to him and said “this is what it should look like”. I responded “that’s what it looks like, it’s on your desk”

I would love to share pictures of it but I can’t

 

Gathering ingredients for some venison & moose chili. Gonna slow cook it in crockpot all night.

 

I’ve never had moose, what does it compare to? Have had deer, elk, bison, bear, and caribou.

 

I'd say it's closest to really good venison. If hung for a few days in proper temps before butchering of course.

 

I've not had Caribou though.

 

Made me think of a time many years ago and my good friend was making some venison chili. I come in the house and hes at the stove cooking away. I say smells good Kelly whatcha making? Deer chili, oh yum yum. Anyways and this was back in the drinking days where heavy beers consumption occurred regularly. As we were chowing down it didn't take long for me to notice it looked more like chunks of carpet in there. Apparently he must have had some beers when he butchered it up. Quite a bit of hyde left on there...

 

That's just organic dental floss!

 

Great guy. I bet haven't seen or talked to him in 12 years. I should try to find his number and and give him a call. Many good memories. Last time I seen him the family was with me and we stopped and said hello, he lived in Blackfoot Idaho. We were good friends when we both lived in Phoenix AZ.

 

I'll ask my B-I-L for the specifics on the one he made. He's a machinist too.
Edit; and get drawings if he has them.

 

That would be awesome!

 

Thats a shocker

 

At least the panel outside stays nice and clean.

Nice tile work .

After some work days I could shower there and never take notice.

 

My thoughts on Fed-Ex ground they took on to much freight to fast .Rate cutting will do this!!.

Massive growing pains . Desperate for drivers never the same one more then twice.

Using the China Flu as a excuse .

Against the door means in the middle of the driveway 500' from any door.

It arrives when it does.I can only guess like most places the bigger accounts get the better service one package that can wait.

I will say for me UPS is still the best by far.
