Shop Time w/T.W. Friends. Deleted your text. What was it you wanted again?

Did my time, work is now more of a social event on my own terms. Mornin', just the same!

 

Little hydraulic cylinder thread repair slipped in this morning.

 

Also got this welded, flipped, and finished.

 

Same here. Only one, he’s 10, so I’m not doing much.

 

If I'm in the store with the kids and my wife is gone people say "she got you baby sitting?". I say nope, they're mine, baby sitters get paid. It's called being a dad

 

My wife thanks me when I watch the kids while she's out. I get a little miffed with her because...duh! They're my kids, it's my job, plus I love to spend time with them.

 

That's good, she needs a break from them after home schooling them and everything else

 

Exactly!

 

Did you say y'all were looking at buying a house? How's that going?

 

Yup. Going to probably be in the next couple of months.

 

Nice, were all jelly

Heck ya


Kinda sorta working myself lol

 

Get one with some land so me and @StayinStock can come kill some monster Ohio bucks!

 

We had a good stretch but it’s time to say goodbye.

 

That’s the exact one I use at work, they tried to give me a piece of junk lufkin, I dug to the bottom of the drawer and found the good stuff! It weighs about 3x more than the lufkin at half the size!

 

I like it because it has standard and metric

I bought a box of tapes at an auction once, it had these in it. Ever seen a left handed Stanley tape measure

 

We have plenty of public land up here. There are even farmers that will let you park a camper on their property for $2,000 a week.

 

Thats so generous of them...

 

I get about two and a half months out of a tape measure

 

I’ve been using that one for a little over a year, it mainly depends on what I’m cutting and rather I’m milling or welding as to how it holds up. It takes a beating if I’m cutting dirty hot rolled and welding.
