Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

Original Robertshaw thermostat:
Note the accuracy of the stamping and the quality of the finish.
The equivalent of the jiggle vent in this design is the little notch at about 2 o'clock in the first photo.






Modern version:
Probably works ok, just doesn't have the look of quality construction as the originals.

 

Thanks for pointing out about the jiggle valve. I didn't see that feature mentioned on the link.
I'm up and having coffee.
Song going through my head; we've got to move these refrigerators, we got to move these color tv's ,
Microwave ovens, custom kitchen deliveries...
Note for other parents whose kids aren't off to college yet; tell them....one fork, one spoon, one knife, one plate, a small table and one chair...that's it!

 

Speaking of, we have these Robertshaw resuscitators we deploy at work to every KSC ambulance, fire vehicle and at the visitors center. We fill, service and maintain the bottle and pack itself.

 

Morning, all.

Slept a long time but it didn't feel like it was particularly good sleep.

 

Spoken like a firefighter

 

Morning all , long night at work. Got in to the bees and fix a weed eater, then drop the 15 y/o daughter off at golf match.

 

Gotta love it when the flyer for a local welding Distributor open house shows up a week late!!

 

That happened to me when they were giving out brains

Just about loaded up this little box truck. Truck is a little beauty, 10 footer GMC V8 power.
I'm taking a little break; finally convinced wife and daughter the more we pack in here now the easier it's going to be for them to haul the remaining odds and ends, clean for deposit back hopefully.

 

Unless your baby Girl had lots of family Heirlooms at school my First stop would be the closest Goodwill.

Helped a friend move his daughter home 30 years ago 90 % of the junk still takes up far to much room in the basement and garage covered in dust covered tarps.

 

About 1/3 of it slated to go to our local landfill tomorrow.

 

That is a good idea, the thrift shop might want the recliner.

Edit; and matching couch

 

Dire Straits - from the 1985 album Brothers in Arms.

 

Like putting lipstick on a bullfrog, still a few things to do before I run her but I feel better about it anyways.

 

Nice boat!!

 

Thankya it's expensive just to live right now, it's downright outrageous if you're trying to have any fun. I better get back on the OT train sheesh.

 

That Yamaha aint gonna use much gas!!

 

That's the truth she's a sipper

 

Not exactly a twin...but at least a sibling or cousin. Dis one has a built V8 and geared for muddin' is my understanding. Next break I'll see can I get the hood up... curiosity takin' hold.

 

Let's stack for grins... @RustyGreen

 

Oh yeah
Good Morning Mr Shane & Co.
