Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

Good morning friends

Hope everyone has the most amazing day ever


I brought my friends tractor back this morning and discovered where the vibration is coming from in the Duramax, rear driveshaft, front universal joint. Every time I stop and start it makes a nice racket

And now it smells like a skunk. Couldn't swerve pulling the trailer

 

I do the same.. but somehow I'm never allowed to use the money saved for toys.

 

That mill is a cool old building. I love seeing the remnants of an old painted advertisement. You afraid strike an arc and the whole place would go up in flames? Prolly wouldn't take much to burn it down.

 

Mornin’ Gents
Yessir when the Elevator back home blew, it melted the siding off a couple of blocks of houses all because of an arc inside. Accident just waitin’ to happen.

 

Liked that for the positivity -- about the way your morning started -- that stinks.

 

Yeah I'd be scared to smoke a cigarette within 50' of the building. The owner was wanting me to weld in there, I think he may want it gone

 

Every time I "save" some money another bill comes along...

 

Thanks Rusty. I know things happen and stuff wears out, got to fix it and roll on or not fix it and complain

 

Good morning shop crew, hope you have a great Thursday!

 

Even if I have a bad day it is all right.

I'm still not having to deal with the inductive whirlpool of stupidity that was my old job.

 

My coworker complains enough for all of us. He just told me a 10 minute story about how his Jeep may be cutting off because of the radio. He watched a video and the guy unhooked his radio and it fixed his.

I said did you pull your radio fuse to see if it helps?

He said nah, I'll do it this summer

And he trapped one of two raccoons last night. In his attic.

He's had that problem before.

Fix the hole where they get in

 

Old boy would rather chase his tail for dinner than cook something.

 

I really enjoy that guy even though I've never met him.

 

If you did, you'd him

 

Exactly

 

Tell him to put that coon in his jeep. With a little time and luck it'll chew through the radio wires. Two problems solved!

 

I think you enjoy him because you've never met him.

 

or wait 6months to get reminded by wife

 

Good morning hooligans, had a great surprise this morning. Just as we were getting morning coffee and dog & cat breakfast time. I heard wife say the fridge is leaking water, me: what do you mean leaking water?
The saga begins: pull everything from the freezer as that's the side where I see water gathered on the front floor. Bottom is ice.
Remember I'm not too handy according to my family . Pull the back panel off and low and behold the frost free drain is frozen . Wife puts everything in the deep freezer in garage . Get the ice out, and the thawing begins.
Bulled the fridge out and back off vacuumed and hair dried the drain . Put back together . Then really started with the drain. Out comes the tiny funnel and hot water along with the zip tie for battle . Once I was able to get the funnel in I poured hot water in and used the zip tie to push in to be sure it was cleared. A bit more water to make sure clear . Put back together after a good vacuum underneath. Replaced front grill and pushed back into place, waiting for the cool down. Now back to coffee , I looked up and see this wanting to play .

 

It doesn't happen to be a Samsung fridge does it?
