Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

Need to crack the whip a little harder!

 

Not even close to what happened!

 

Shhhhh

 

I admire (envy) the enthusiasm -- unfortunately it seems one day you wake up and find yourself struck down by hit and run years, you put yourself in drive and nothing happens.

And it really ticks me off .

 

Had a fellow at work with an Explorer, he came out for lunch and found the entire plastic rocker panel cover laying in the parking lot beneath the car -- everything behind it had rusted away.

 

No! Just the opposite because I've had large steam turbines apart and been up close to them several times. I see the similarities now to the aircraft turbines too. One thing I haven't seen though is any of the rotating assemblies taken apart.
Those are cool pictures, looks like they may be setting up to do some machining on it.??
Westing House / Siemens?

 

No sense being mad after the fact.

We can`t say we had no idea it was coming

 

I see your talking boilers not turbines we just had constructed 7 or 8 Gas fired Turbine power plants within 200 miles.

also a few compressor stations

 

Yeah, imagine surface speed at the tips of those blades, (1,800 shaft rpm?). Then they run 24/7 365.

 

why geese and jet engines are not friends.

I guess it is better now then 30 years ago.

 

I'm 53 and most days feel pretty good still. Strange thing is when I get up in the mornings my feet hurt. Sometimes after spending some day hunched over a lathe and mill all day wreaks havoc on my back. At least my feet don't hurt bad after I'm up and moving around.
But yeah getting old and body wearing out no fun. My Uncle Jim, he's 82 and still pretty mentally sharp but cant get around without walkers. That's what 50 years of framing houses and finish carpentry will do to ya I suppose.

 

Agreed.

 

Those slots are cool!

 

I run my mouth!
