When it doesn’t fit, the people that ordered it for them, told them it fit on paper! I’m sure they had to buy it though. When I graduated boot camp, you could order a ring that had the EGA on one side and I believe Iwo Jima statue and your platoon number on it.......wish I still had it, some hussy ended up with it along the way

Thats good shit! That’s what makes people want to turn a profit for their employers, getting treated right! I’m making my moves to hopefully in the next year leave company I’m with and start doing my own thing full time. Tired of the bs I can’t control! And it’ll be nice to work in the daytime and not come home to go work for myself. I’ll be able to spend more time with the family and the funny farm here at the house......keep up the hustle and always make sure the ball is in your court!

What do you think about electricity generated with the steam escaping from a double barrel steam sterilizer?
I think it would be cool to charge a deep cycle battery enough to work a few hours in front of the HEPA with the steam or heat from the sterilization cycle... Simple energy conversion right?
Roar if you ever want to get into making glass working tools let me know. They are spendy AF and looks like stuff you'd have no problem with. You ever work with high density graphite blocks?

Theres a few different thing ive thought about in terms of energy conservation and trying to kinda tie everything together... idk if you saw my dumbass post yesterday morning, but it was one of those trains of thought... to be fair, if I hadn't been doing 3 projects at once going 1000mph I probably would've realized how dumb my question was... lol... but thats definitely something I'd like to look into... we do a lot of different things in this hobby that all seem to be stand alone projects, but if I can find a way to re use or re purpose something, I do.

Well I’ve got a project coming up.....my buddy has a rolling frame for a 79 f150 single cab 4wd and a 79 f250 2wd crew cab.....he’s got the 400 with C6 on the f150 and no motor for the f250. Said I could have whichever one I want. I’m gonna be putting a flatbed with 5th wheel on it, so I’m thinking I’m gonna get the f150, let him keep the motor and put a Cummins 12valve in it....I’d rather have that 4wd than crew cab in case pulling livestock in the pasture.....it’s going to take a lot of time but the wife asked if we could get a old diesel and I’m not letting that permission slip get lost!!!

Don’t do it, I sold the one smaller one I had and my Klein backpack is sitting in the bottom of my van somewhere.....gives you too much space to pack shit in. I downsized to a small cheapo side satchel and it’s fantastic. That Klein pack I have is in great shape, I just put too much in it that I never wanted to take it to the equipment with me, just grabbed meter and 11-in-1

I backyard welded flanges on my cousin’s catalytic converter this weekend.

It was tricky because we didn’t have the car all we had was a measurement and the flanges were canted. It fit perfectly though.
