Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

Morning all, back to work have a great day.

 

Shawn is awesome!

 

I know Shane is

 

Grew up with a guy who spelled it Chane, pronounced Shane, but we and everybody else called him CHAIN lol

 

Had a nasty cold hit me last weekend but pretty much under control now. - got much better after I passed it along to my wife.

 

Rule 1. In every aspect of life, as well as sport, you have winners and losers.
Rule 2. Life is not fair.

I taught my kids these two simple rules from the time they could talk.

By your post, I'm sure we do not agree and that's okay. Good luck.

Oh, if there is anyone else in this thread that agrees with the "everyone gets a trophy" philosophy, please pm me and I won't darken the doors of this thread again.
Thank you.

 

Participation Trophies are a joke.

 

Well my son was hinting at hunting blackpowder and I was hinting he should(as I wanted to get him one) asked mom what she thought and she said it was up to me and I said it’s ordered

 

I see both Ace and Hipsi's points, you guys are talking apples and oranges at each other. In youth sports, obviously you try to win but building resilience to obstacles and teamwork skills are more important long term than whether the team was .500 or .750 win percentage. After all one person or one coach can only control so much. Im extremely competitive personally, I've snapped ping pong paddles in half playing on lunch break at work, I hate losing. But anyone hyper focused on wins and losses in youth sports is missing the forest for the trees.

 

How have I just found out about this?

 

Your life is forever better now!

Reminds me of my BIL who worked with a guy, last name Goodness. Didn’t matter what his first name was. The nickname was “Oh My”.

Sorry to bore you @Da Boogie Man. Looking forward to your gripping and engrossing participation.


Good Afternoon everyone

 

Brother in law welded the meat hanger

 

Chopped liver you say - Psshah!

 

Glad you're better!!

 

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!
Figured I need to share some shop photos in here!

 

Was wondering how things were going in the workshop…
You getting the hang of that beast? (I see you hired an operator)

 

They are going okay. Been a tough summer with some person family issues. But it’s on swing up!!!
This new mill is doing great. Now I need to start messing with macros and ect to implement more process improvements and reliability.
Yeah. The little dude hangs out on Monday’s and Fridays when he is not in school. He really likes pressing the cycle start button. Lol

 

8 cord of tree length firewood here is $1320. For my place all I have to do is cut, split, and stack, (about a months worth of work) and it’ll heat the house for about 3-4 years. The sad thing is I still have to buy oil for our domestic hot water.
