I like the joke

 

Superb painting of Colonel Sander

 

Did you KNOW?

The triggering of quality auto darkening welding shields is done by detection of the UV emission Just prior to the arc ignition?

Much like the ionization prior to a lightening strike.

3M owns the technology today that was once "Hornel Speedglas" out of Sweden.
Closely held technology 20 years ago, now somewhat common knowledge in the industry/

Crap chi-com units use light intensity. Burn your retinas first, then go dark. NOT THE SAME!

But much cheaper.

 

Good morning everyone, welcome to Friday

 

Good morning everybody, have a great, safe and blessed Friday.

 

Probably what mine will do.

 

Morning all have a great day

 

Morning

 

Good morning everybody, have a great Friday!

Maintenance projects completed at my wife’s shop. Not sure how the paint on the front porch columns and railings will look as it decided to rain about a hour after I finished. Replacing them will be the next big project. That will need to happen pretty soon too

Today is a babysitting day, changing diapers and a wagon ride will be on the agenda.

 

We have a couple of younger guys working here that like to spend a little to much time in the bathroom playing on their phones. I could care less but when you have to go but all 4 bathrooms are occupied by these idiots playing some stupid game against each other it’s hard not to let it bother you. Going to hang a sign up in each one.

 

I shared this story before but it goes with the flow so:

Factory bathroom comeuppance story:

At the way back job the Maintenance shop was at one corner of the building, we had our own 1 seater bathroom complete with a shower and a door that locked.

Well, this fellow who worked clear across the plant frequented our bathroom, seriously this was a 10 minute walk to an area he had no business in...

What was worse was the fact the he really frequented it, he was in there often and for a long time , I believe the locking door (uncommon in factories) was the attraction.

This rankled one guy quite a bit - his job/office was right next to the BR yet every time he needed to go it seemed this fellow was clogging it up you might say.

The BR was made of metal studs and corrugated steel siding on both sides.

One day the already irate fellow came bustling across his own workspace on his way to the BR just in time to see the fellow step in - again... Furious, he stepped out the overhead door and had a whiz in the driveway -- and plotted his revenge...

Obviously the fellow had time to get comfortable by now -- our hero took a long handled shovel and gave it his best baseball swing on the steel wall right about where the fellows head was when seated.

Spoiler: A courtesy flush

If it scared the $#it out of him at least he was in the right place.

The fellow came out looking a bit shaken only a few minutes later - well ahead of his normal schedule.
He looked around at the 1/2 dozen people giving him the stink eye from around the area and skulked away never to return. I guess he got the hint.

Good days.

 

Management told me it’s a touchy situation speaking to someone about their bathroom break. Said I don’t need you to yell at them just let them know there’s no need for them to be in there 45 minutes 3 times a day.

 

Good morning friends! Have a great day!!!


Saw this yesterday, a true survivor. Had an older lady driving it. Zero rust.

 

I like the idea.
Too bad at where I work, it might trigger a hearing of harassment

 

Great way to start out the day, thanks for sharing!

 

Whatchew gone do with that?

 

Put your miniatures in it!
