Free candy van

Here's the type of chip that I spoke earlier and why I knock that edge off. I can tell this didn't have the stone treatment. Anyways I think it helps and a trick I learnt in school when grinding lathe tool bits...that instructor knew a thing or two. Also taught me when your quenching to wiggle it around in there....so it don't have air bubbles and will cool better...not have spots that didn't get quenched...I remember stuff better if I'm told a reason

 

My uncle came by to pick up some parts we made for him, he works at a major ice cream plant. He said he interviewed a guy yesterday 56 years old who lives with his dad 1 mile from the plant. He doesn't have a license and said he could get his dad to bring him in on rainy days. My uncle offered him $20 an hour working 8 am to 4:30 pm doing building maintenance, painting, changing bulbs, etc.

The man turned it down

 

Failure to launch??

 

$20/hr to do general maintenance at an ICE CREAM plant? FFS... sign me up!

 

How about ice cream QC guy? Any open position for that?

 

Look what happens when you show up on the right day!

 

Might get it this week after all, maybe even tomorrow

 

Random. Cole weedeating the patio.

 

Well, this makes 3 in two weeks.
Another early fifties Wisconsin twin saved from scrap. Got it from a nice young fella, only about 100 miles away.
This one has electric start

 

Wife bought some trellis type stuff to put up along the bottom of the pool deck. I ask her what you going to cut that with? The material is guess 1/8 inch or so. Anyway she wasn't sure but I thought it looked like a good job for this! Ordered Monday, arrived today. She kind of gave me a hard time spending 100 on a tool for one project. I said wait till you try this thing out, you'll be wanting to borrow it all the timeI was looking all over for the blade wrench...ah,haa!

 

Free candy van with rainbow sprinkles, is that like the big burly guy offering free body massages?



If so I'm in...

 

Looks like a C-130.

 

Yup

 

I’ll spray that one

 

Mine showed up today. Now to see if the one scheduled for Saturday shows up on time.

 

My garbage disposal decided it would be funny to start leaking out of the bottom of the housing last night, soaking the cabinet and swelling the wood.

I'm replacing a 1/3 HP Insinkerater Badger 1 with this thing.



Should be able to pull a Tim Taylor and grind baseball bats.

 

If it’s anythin’ like there plumbing fixtures, it’s got a Rock Solid warranty, that’s for sure.
