Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

I understand my neighbor is crazy

 

Dual flush, nice.

 

I know right? I dream of having compressed air in the bathroom!

 

Haven’t thought about that, that would be a game changer. 15psi?

 

Sounds like it's bout time to put neighbor lady in her place. Address it, head on. Be friendly about it, but lady if you want to tell people what to do move to the big city and get on a condo board. I been itching to have my native American buddy out here and his crew been awhile since we've had a drum circle till 3am do you understand what I'm telling you lady

 

Overdo things occasionally?
Sweet!


From a practical point of view - as one gets older getting up from the throne gets more difficult, I think you have the assist handle covered.

 

With all the acreage you got….

for your approach
on the outcome
for starting a conversation directly with the driveway neighbor

 

Good morning guys

 

I came to the realization after my wife and daughter walked down to help that he doesn’t have a problem with women, he has a problem with woman

 

I'm a sucker for flexibility, I'd throw a regulator in there.

 

FIFY

 

Driveway expansion has started! All it took was buying a camper.

 

Excuse me sir can I see your permit that you've pulled for this work?

 

I was hoping to get a load of asphalt millings delivered today or tomorrow, they told me 18-20 tons for $350 when I called a couple weeks ago.

Since I made a mess of the driveway yesterday and it’s supposed to rain tomorrow afternoon I was hoping to get it today or tomorrow.

When I called this morning the lady said they were short handed and to call back in a week

Called a guy and ask about #57 clean stone, he said $650 for 18 ton. It is what it is, I ask him if he could bring us a load today or tomorrow, he said in the morning. I said bring it.

Ny wife just called me and said call that guy and cancel. Her and Sadie rode to the place with asphalt millings and my wife told the lady in the office her husband made a mess of the driveway and we have a birthday party this weekend.

They’re bringing a load today around 4:30

 

Clearance is clearance!
Some shots from the small mill last night.

 

That’s awesome. What material is that, some sort of phenolic?

 

Yeah. Is some old scrap micarta/phenolic I had laying around. Works good for prototyping

 

Let me help you out...
Mega Millions - 1 in 302.6 million chance of taking home the top prize.
How does that compare?
Lightning hitting you - 1 in 15,300
Wrecking your truck - 1 in 366
Winning an Olympic medal - 1 in 322,300
Killed by a meteor - 1 in 250,000
Bowling a perfect game - 1 in 11,500
Cracking a double yolk egg - 1 in 1000

So, you are 10X more likely to be an Olympic athlete than win the lottery, 12X more likely to get killed by a meteor, around a million times, literally, more likely to wreck your truck.
Do people win? Absolutely. But it is literally the worst game of chance you can pay to play.
If you want to win money, play blackjack. If you are know how to play, the odds of you winning is about 50%. It is not a game of chance, is is a game of math and statistics.
When I go to Vegas for work, I always take $200 to lose. That's all - no more or less. I have lost my $200 before, a few times. I have also won before and my winnings exceed my losings!
I also have never bought a lottery ticket. Odds are better for me to swim naked through a thunderstorm holding a 20ft long copper tube and not die than win a lottery.
