    Speaking of seals....
    I might have one up inside this dust cover to change.
    main engine seal?

    Wiped up some oil on the cover. (Not bad but it was oil)
    That's why I was digging around by the tranny.

    After taking a peek at what's involved in replacing it, I'll take that advice and run.

    When the paper thickness specs for my press are from 0.0032" to 0.011"
    why would a salesman bring in a job on paper that is 0.0015" thick?

    My press doesn't want to run it but the job is here and I'm most certain you can't order sheeted paper at 0.0015". So my press is the only one here with the ability to try.....

    Retirement can't come soon enough.

    I keep saying the same thing about retirement, 3 years. They're
    days l feel like just walking out. Don't get me wrong, I like my job. Just the bullshit. That's why I don't work 1st shift, it's even worse. I was asked by the plant manager why I'm not on 1st, I had 2 opportunities to do so. I told him straight out. It's because of the way the place is being run, and I would also have to lower my standards.

    I hear that.
    Worked nights for 7 years.
    Should've kept it.
    There was only 2 of us here on nights. It was great.

    To give an idea of the fun I'm having...
    I run @30k sheets per hour.
    I've been here for 5 hours.
    There's 15k sheets off.

    You just scale the tire. It's basically a big rubber ladder.

    Small lift, slightly oversized tires, well...
    Was just going to ask...radar has looked a bit spicy over that way much of the afternoon. NWS shows tornado warnings out there...a watch for the rest of the state.

    The warning ended at 4:30p.m for us.
    Headed toward Marshfield.
    The hail lasted about 10 min.

    yeah but look on the bright side, you wouldn't have any more starters problems unless you found some much deeper water!
