    You could build pedals that would work your feet would need straps so you could pull and push .

    If your shoulders were so ruined you could not use your arms .

    In my career we had two clients that had lost both of their arms and still drove. :eek: Scroll down a bit on this page.

    I relish the simple things.

    Bent a piece of plastic today to contain the annual mess an oil change on the zero turn used to produce. :D

    Also bent a few pieces of wire and melted them into my snowblower to reattach a broken chunk of plastic. I fixed it mostly to keep snow off the belt, but I think it's pretty strong. BTW That whole mess is behind a cover.

    I tack welded it on the inside first with my soldering gun. :rofl:

    They need the holes clocked differently. 11” OD x 26” long. Let’s do this.

    This piece cost $4,000 :eek:

    The one I'm working on goes on a portable transformer and will have oil going through it.

    Thats cool its portable. Yeh liquid hydrogen, so cold that after we flowed lh2 through it, I went to bump those nuts to 650ft lbs and often times the studs would just crumble into dust. Obviously because they had frozen and been been compromised with moisture.

    It was over 60 degrees here today, an excellent day to get some work done.

    Lox pipe is much smaller based on the quantity required. 8" diameter as I recall.

    I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned it before, but I have my type 01 FFL, and have had for 11 years now. Just a little side gig. I’ve been thinking of getting a suppressor for a bit, but didn’t want to spend the money or wait. One day out of the blue I decided to send the government more money and apply for my SOT dealers license. Guess what came in the mail today?! :kona::evil::dancingbacon::broccoli:

    Yea I did. Taxes especially in the great state of CA got out of hand here that’s why I got rid of it.
