Pretty bizarre and cool if you ignore what caused it and the hazards it presents to locals..

Sunken German WWII warships emerging in the Danube river (Serbia) due to extreme drought and low water levels

Do you ever watch shipwreck dive videos?

 

A few but not really...on a related note I recently read the story of a deep sea diver back in the 70s that died in a pressure chamber that malfunctioned and sucked him through a 24 inch opening. Might be one of the most brutal deaths of all time yikes

 

I think I've created a circus. A whole house of unfinished projects, all being worked on in parallel sorta.

1 - drill press, can't put it together till i figure out the identity of the missing bearing that wasn't there when i took it apart
2 - trailer, which needs lots of love and welding, and also cut my thumb open this morning
3 - tent, which is new, but i'm trying to apply a UV coating to and its not really sticking
4 - frying pan, which my ADDness burnt last week and is being reseasoned.
5 - Smoker, which needs to be cleaned and plugged in so we can smoke some tri tip for dinner.

 

Pressure is one of those super scary things underwater. It doesn't even have to be a lot to pose a hazard.


Then there's this guy:

Lucky he survived that, damn

Delta P is the term i was looking for.


The crab is the classic example:

Pretty soon it'll just be shipwreck walk videos. People climbing down a cliff to see the bottom of what was once a lake or riverbed

 

Fucckk yeah what happened to that crab is what happened to that dude in the 70s, brutal

 

Man, I’m so glad I’m not the only one here trying to get ONE thing done out of a dozen that are 80-90% completed.

Yay! Multitasking, ftw!

 

Got the drill press put together.

Have more of a "shop" now -

 

Sounds fun tho

 

What would life be like without hundreds of unfinished tasks?

 

definitely looks like a shop haha, how was the assembly process?

 

The key is to set your standards appropriately. I got out of bed this morning, so today is a success.


Washed the kayak, packed up the tent, and did some grinding on my plow disc wok - looks like its gonna need more welding.

Frying pan is looking great, but the girlfriend is bringing over two more she found at a sale

 

def current mood haha

slowly poking away at weeks plus worth of chores and errands

 

That reminds me, I need to finish the load of laundry I started last night

Its all good.

 

10 mins really is all it took!

I ran it (without drilling anything yet though) and it doesn't have any visible runout; nice and straight and pretty quiet for a drill press.

All I have left to buy is either an Evolution saw or some sort of bandsaw.

We'll see.

 

I am literally in the same boat, washing sheets between other stuff. didn't do laundry or much maintenance in the kitchen for the last week after trying to recover from wheeling and going to a concert l

 

No runout and no noise? Aight I'm gonna have to get one of those
