Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

As long as it works to keep the weather off win win.

I wonder was a heater coil and fan installed to keep things nice and warm.

 

I have a Matchbox Rivian in that very color!

 

Built a skid & strapped the new to me furnace to it.



Loaded the furnace, both plenums & some odd tools up to take home.



And the furnace is in...
... the cellar.

Lots of work yet to do.

 

More interesting than furnaces & cellars - I saw a bear on the way home, they aren't uncommon out here although I hadn't seen one in a year or two.

It was in the road between corn fields only about 100 feet ahead of me, naturally by the time I got the phone out it was gone.

 

I did some digging and found these pictures from 2016 taken with my then 10 year old Casio G'z One, an awesome phone that weighed about 7 pounds...



Our guest below was snooping around the rose bush.



Daisy, all six pounds of her, was offended -- she first stalked, then chased
and finally treed the bear.
Check out her posture, ears flat, back and tail up.
Chasing the bear she sounded like a chainsaw -- "RRreeeeee" .



Note the bewildered look on the bears face.
(" ... ?? did i just get chased by a house cat ??... ")



With her work done she became bored and wandered away.
The bear took this opportunity to get away from that crazy little cat.

 

Great pics! Thank you for sharing!

 

I was pleased to find I still had them.
Pretty happy to still have the little cat too.

 

Left handed drill bit (hopefully catch and back it out. If not, extractor into the hole it creates…

 

Now that they are here on TW, you can toss that phone. Pretty cheap pic storage when you think of it.

 

The phone is long gone, I had them in my e-mail file that I had sent from my work computer before I retired.

 

You got bigger balls than me. My work IT team would have classified those pics as company property...or worse I'm glad you were able to keep them.

 

Our IT team was a dude with a man bun...

 

What a story! Don't know what to focus, heater, plenum, bear, cat, old phone, but one great post! Exciting life! I just work on a table...

 

Yeah. Unless I meet you 75 miles in the bush and you survived a mountain lion and alligator attack, the man bun will cause me to instantly classify you as a guy using my oxygen without permission.

 

Goodnight everyone, sleep well!

Your table job made me think of a quote I read long ago and I was able to dig it up.

A hundred years from now, they will gaze upon my work and marvel at my skills, but never know my name. And that will be good enough for me. (Dan Holohan)

He wasn't a bad fellow overall, seemed to be pretty decent at the job too.

However we did have differing viewpoints on administration platforms...

 

That is profound. Hopefully, while they might not know my name, they will know my teachings as passed down through the generations. Meaning, what I taught my daughter gets passed down to granddaughter gets passed down to great grandchildren. The first two are happening. I don't know if I will be around for the great grandchildren. I think that is how you live forever.

 

My semi-annual contributions to the Shop,
Table I built last summer but just got around to installing the heater.

 

Finally got around to building a bed for the GF after too many years
