Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

That’s really cool! Nice pics!!

Years ago, I saw a Shuttle launch from Massachusetts but need binoculars to make out a bit of detail

 

You have piston compressors at your work? Is there much air demand? From the size of the equipment in your pictures I was expecting giant compressors as well.

At my old job production used air tools all day, I had two 50 hp rotary compressors, 235 CFM each. Occasionally the demand could exceed the supply, I would have the workers closest to the compressor room stop briefly to catch the system up.

 

I was sure my EX-Wife had got a light for her broom.

Air raid Drill can be canceled weapons put back in safe mode till next time.

 

Is the blizzard going to have any Major impact as far east as you are ??

 

No, that wasn't my heep...I have stacked a couple of 4x4 blocks, not Jack's in that fashion. Reminds me of internet picture, sure some have seen the guy working under his rig propped up by a large timber or something.

 

Not this far East, I did just see news said interstate 80 is closed far West and they said will remain closed for some time. It must really be coming down out there.

 

I getting the itch to go out in search of a apple fritter and other donuts this morning.

 

Years ago I saw a guy working under a 1971-72 Chevy Caprice -- supported by four bumper jacks I'm confident the dude has by now met his maker...

Edit: Occurs to me, some folks here may have never seen/used a bumper jack -- I feel old...

 

I remember them. My parents had a 1970 Cadillac had one and a hook contoured to the bumper. First car I purchased was a 1974 Camaro and it had a bumper jack but it had small notches in the bumpers at 4 corners.

 

Wait, wouldn’t hooking a jack to holes in the bumper just rip the plastic bumper cover???!?!!
(Just joking, by the way)

 

The good old days .

They were Ok on Concrete anything else your life was at the mercy of the jack.

I loved my first Floor Jack

 

From 74-78 maybe? Those bumpers were actually aluminum! But yeah the years just before they went to plastic. Endura bumper or something I think GM term.

 

That just sounds like Natural Selection at work to me.

And I know exactly what a bumper jack is.

 

Mornin Shane. You ringing up customers this morning?

 

1968 Pontiac GTO was the first Endura bumper car.

I remember when you could buy cars like that - GTO, Mustang, Camaro, etc. for $500 running and driving -- of course I didn't have the $$$ back then. How times have changed -- I finally saved up the $500 and all the deals are gone...

 

Good morning Critter!

New poll. I can’t stand the time changing, leave it alone
