Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

No, lol. He had the better room away from the front door anyway. As soon as he moved out, I moved in his.

 

you get the valve unstuck?

 

Yea sir. Mashed on it with a screwdriver and it popped loose. He’s been mowing with it this afternoon

 

Nothing life threatening for me.

My only stitches are on my chin from going face first into a coffee table when I was 2 and for some lipomas my wife removed.

I'm pretty boring.

 

Anyone know what led to the 3rd gen what did you do today thread being locked from replies? I want the hot goss.

 

Yes, he hot a tad heated in there. Things were said. Shit was flung, jberry locked it and now waiting to see who gets hammered.

 

Someone posted a picture of a wrapped Tacoma to make it look rusty and a friendly discussion ensued.

 

Friday drama.

 

Yeah I saw you said you liked it, after that comments started being removed I believe. Silliness.

 

Barf is probably gonna get slapped

 

It seems like a lot of the 3rd gen threads have been a bit of a shit show since around 2016

 

I haven't really noticed too much but I have been a mod on another forum for about a decade so I have a pretty good filter.

 

Before that... it was just the 2nd gen shit show.

 

Here it is June 4th and this box is still in our driveway. How long before we can keep it?

 

72 hours.

 

How many times has it been rained on?

 

100%. I remember guys wanting a more powerful engine than the 4.0 and complaining it wasn’t powerful enough when it showed up!

 

The box is toast. I moved it with the loader to another part of the driveway the other day. I called them when I found out who’s it was and they said they were coming after it a few days later. The labels are all washed off now.

 

Almost had a 6'x6'x3" steel plate fall on me once. We used them as barriers on the test range. We were moving it off the range, and it was muddy. I unhooked it from the forklift, and the legs on my side sank in the mud. I back peddled real quick and it hit the ground about 6" in front of me.

I got shocked by one of our 450 kV x-ray pulsers. We kept them in steel boxes to protect them from frags. We were running 2 ranges, and I went over to help the tech at the other range with some troubleshooting. When we got done, I noticed that the shorting plugs weren't in one of the pulsers they weren't using. I squatted down to install it and put my right arm on the box to steady myself. When I put in the plug, I got shocked. The capacitors in the system can charge to 7 kV before they'll self-discharge, so I don't know exactly how much I got hit with. It felt like I had heartburn for about an hour. When I called our stellar safety guy, he said to call him back in an hour if I still felt weird.

Last one coming to mind is my cancer. Not sure if I'd consider it near-death, but definitely something that could have killed me eventually if they hadn't caught it.
