    So had a nice phone call with a co worker.
    So now the new boss can’t call people.
    New hours
    Increased and earlier.
    Are you friggin kidding me?
    7 to 3
    Like why?
    They furloughed a few people in parts. So now we wait twice as long.
    People are slowing down.
    You think they are going to be ramping up to get to the shop at 7 ?
    Now we have to eat there again.
    The guys didn’t buy lunch items.
    They are trying to circumvent the promises they made.
    One guy just got a second job and now has to cancel.
    We can’t win.
    They are not cleaning cars before they come in.
    They are not wiping cars when they show up.
    People from down south are coming in.
    They are not self quarantining.

    Someone is going to fuckin die.
    While not getting paid..

    This is a big big kick to the nuts for us all.
    Welcoming you to come in 6 days a week too if you would like to.

    This thing has not even peaked here yet..

    So now we stand around again......

    Something is going to give..
    What ,,,,,, I have no idea....

    Nothing broke.

    But the drill went flying when it hit the curved part of the metal. Up in the air it went and landed on the ground in front of the truck. Didn't hit the truck or break my wrist, but damn close.

    Then I kept the revs high and slowly grinded the hole out.


    No I didnt film it.

    Hell with it. I'd normally say "configured", rather than "set up", but it really can be a setup issue. Here's the "secret sauce".

    Cisco's WebEx can bump into cached credentials on your favorite browser, and cause problems, but the resolution is simple. Don't use your favorite browser.

    We'll use MS Edge (the old Microsoft "Internet Explorer") to start WebEx sessions, none of us ever use that particular POS for anything else. :rofl:

    I like!
    If you haven't spent a lot of time with pipe, tube, abs, shedule 80, pvc and conduit and decide to work with them...don't. It'll save a long learning curve. There are differences in how some are measured. You'd think they'd measure the same but, no. And if you are looking for a real accurate fit you could screw it up if you don't know or pay attention. We like the conduit to fit real tight in the boxes because there's nothing worse than opening the lid and finding a wasp nest and you just woke them up. Anyway, the punch is made for conduit sizes and it actually cuts like a press, no rotating cutter.

    Decided to take my mind off the bullshit from work. So I did the spring cleaning on the interior of the Tacoma. I didn’t think it was as dirty as it was. It was bad.

    I just know I don't do any of it enough to have the retention I need to keep it all straight. I have done enough of it to know to compare the bit/cutter size to the material size to the size hole I want so I don't screw it up though. Luckily I haven't screwed up too much and nothing important.

    My friend now wants to sell his shell and I thought his wife said the snorkel too. She works in our office and he works in El Centro (they live here). My thought was how the heck do you patch that up without a bunch of expensive body work?

    A new fender is about $75.
    I saw online someone used industrial velcro to attach the snorkel to the a pillar.

    Personally, it is not coming off.
