Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

I already dont.

 

Wow that was a complete unintentional last part pun, the first part was planned, butt the last part wasn't

Just think, I might have put my hands on any one of y'alls packages!

 

unless it was Toucan Sam handing out Fruit Loops, I wouldn't bother

and on that not Tuesday-Mondays are the worst Mondays

 

My 'monday' went similarly. Normally, I punch in for my hourly, and also punch in on a specific job. But not today. Just punched in for the day and then ran around chasing various fires.

 

I also found out today that Phil Robertson passed away this weekend.

I worked for UPS in So.Cal.while in college the first time. They didn’t have those safety restrictions in place when I was there. Walked a lot of belt clearing jams. While on the sort line the boxes going into the bottom bins always got my “boot print” of approval. If your package was broken..then apparently you didn’t pack it correctly!!!

 

Good morning shop crew, have a great and blessed Wednesday.

 

After getting used to it (about 5 minutes, as you know) you'll wonder why you haven't bought one before now

 

Good morning shop friends! Hope the day is good to you all

 

Pulled the VW in the shop when I got home and took a 4mm allen wrench and moved the sunroof back so I could open the top and clean the drains. Hopefully it helped, will find out tomorrow.



Looks like a transformer when it's doing it's thing.

 

Good morning guys. Wednesday already wow. Have a good one!

 

A hardtop convertible, what a novel idea.

1959 Ford



"While a retractable-hardtop convertible might seem old hat these days, it was quite remarkable in 1957, when Ford introduced a full-size car with a steel roof that folded dramatically into the trunk and disappeared.

If you’ve never seen and heard one of these in action, it is quite marvelous. Operated by a complex system of reversible servo motors controlled by a lineup of 10 electric solenoids plus relays, switches, locking mechanisms, cables and about 600 feet of wire, the Skyliner presents nothing less than a mechanical ballet danced to the accompaniment of various clicks and whirrs.

The dance includes the top lifting, its front lip folding under, the trunk lid opening from the front, the whole shebang gliding into the trunk and the lid closing, all done automatically and long before electronic gizmos made it seem easy."

 

That amazes me


The VW uses an electric over hydraulic pump with lines running everywhere, I wouldn't have wanted to be the first person to push the button when it was all put together

 

Not sure if I need one of these or not for $100

 

It is better to have one if you need it rather than need one when you need it.

I may be the wrong person to ask...
