Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

Same here. I don't even like the thought of getting so drunk that you can't remember things. Scares the hell out of me.

 

I don't mind the crowds, I'm just too damn cheap to drink. Water is damn near free.

 

Black jacket in the El Paso heat? You're a braver person than I. Unless you work in an office with the AC set to 0° then it's all understood.

 

My buddy had a Ranger...Triton....Skeeter....can't remember which; max sppeed was 74mph. I loved driving that thing, until you start thinking about how light that front end must be with all that air under it.

 

Nothing in the water but the prop.....


I've had their jet ski up to 52 with Cole on it with me, don't want to think about it

 

Pretty much same boat here...although I was a heavy social drinker from 21-32. Wouldn't get drunk but I would have 2-3 beers every night and more on the weekends or at gatherings. Now I can go months with out a drink, and usually it's 1 or 2 and I switch over to water if I drink at all.

 

Complete and total lathe newb going to try and make steel bushings to replace the brass ones. (We don't have any brass round stock) how hard can it be?

 

No that was from the beginning of the year, when we actually dip down into the mid to high forties overnight
I’d loose it by ten or so. Although I do still wear long sleeves in summer a lot because I burn quick.

Also, it’s actually navy blue. Not that it would be much better in the heat.

 

Slow and steady, just don’t rush it and I bet you’ll do a good job.

Is that a work lathe or a personal lathe?
I want one at home so bad, one day.

 

Work lathe. I've posted a couple pics of it before, it's pretty clapped out and in questionable state. Still turns at some speed though.

 

Third plate almost done, two more to go. I like this job, long cycle times

 

That reminds me of when I first got my Captains license and had a charter of 45 people for a day of deep sea fishing mind you that the vessel is 65 feet long 21 foot wide and 5 foot of draft w/twin screws and 871 Detroit's. slip is 25/26 feet wide wind was cranking 20 knots starboard side pushing me like a leaf in the wind. I have one engine in reverse one in forward port engine balls to the wall and the starboard engine balls to the wall trying to push the bow starboard so I can get this bitch in the slip whole vessel is caveating im turning mud because its low tide. I see the people on the dock shaking there heads i'm pissing my pants my ass puckered tighter than a frogs ass and all this in between 2 other 4 million dollar vessels....

 

Man I miss working in a shop, maybe I’ll find a good one again someday.

 

Let me know what you think of it. I just picked up a Hellcat and got spooked when a friend said they had trigger issues. I watched youtube videos where people had issues when pushing the trigger sideways and pulling back at the same time but I cannot duplicate the issue on mine while dry firing, havent put any rounds through it yet.

 

What did you do when you did work in one?

 

Did they have trouble with the factory trigger? I haven't had any issues with mine, although I haven't shot it much either.

 

Thats what I read about doing a google search then watching some videos.

maybe mine is a revised trigger because i just got it new.

 

I watched those videos too thier full of bs it’s safety trigger of course if get on the trigger side ways ur gunna have problems I will def let ya know
