    So my office ran a survey at the end of the year and we're just now seeing the results. The purpose was to get to know your coworkers and had questions like; who's the loudest, quickest to respond to an email, most traveled, etc.

    Well, it appears I have the most interesting hobby. Here's a screenshot of the company newsletter. :rofl:

    To give everyone an idea of how long these springs are, here's a shot of them on the bed.

    The shackles are in the oven. I would have done the spring plates, but I might end up welding bump stop risers on them, so I'll hold off for now.

    I'm still upset they got rid of the millermatic 252 at the shop. That was my favorite.

    :woot: My new wheels have shipped and will be here Friday. If I can get the spring swap done on Friday I have a shot at getting the new wheels installed on Saturday. That's a tall order, but I'll give it a shot.

    We had the choice of the millermatic 252 or getting the one that runs the spool gun as well. Handy as the spool gun is never again will I get a dual purpose welder. My miller turns out a strong weld but it doesn't look good ever.

    That's a bummer. What model miller did you end up with? I'm still new to welding. Laid my first beads last June.
