So if you didn't do anything airgun related what did you do today?

[Jshooter71]

Replaced a rooftop package HVAC unit with a couple knumbskulls… looks really good… but won’t start- wrong voltage… and even if it were matching voltage, what’s there isn’t even right for 480 volts 3 phase. I’ve got 480 volts single phase on the outside legs, middle leg is 110 volts… grrrr~  This wasn’t for a regular customer, so we went in a bit blind. We’ll have to get an electrician to get us the correct power- 208/230 volts 3 phase. Transformer probably… I start a 9 day staycation Saturday. The knumbskulls can have at it, if it’s not me that goes back Wednesday- Friday.

Just another day in the auto manufacturing industry and all the craziness that goes with it.
I am grateful for the team I supervise here in the materials department. We don't have anywhere near the BS that they have going on in the other departments such as press and assembly. Altho I am down one guy on 2nd shift we are getting the job done without issue.

We came home from a two night camping trip. We haven't been out in our camper since the January blizzard for various health reasons.  There were no leaks and everything worked as if new.  Martha,  with her COPD and Pacemaker, has gotten pretty good with the setup and takedown and my new Mobility Scooter allows me to do my part.  We got home, unhooked and unloaded just minutes before the cold front and rains hit.

We've taken the 'For Sale' signs off of it and have booked December trips.  We're goin' campin' some more.

[Blowpipe Sam]

The boss turned me loose with some power tools.  I got to break in the new Stihl brush cutter.  Works good on saplings but I prefer my Stihl power hedge trimmer for most work.  So I went back and forth between the two and cleared about 400 feet of fence line.  Saplings, muscadine, and smylax.  Looks like slaw now.
Tomorrow I will be driving boats.  Friday probably more brush clearing.

Outstanding, Greg! Good for you two!

I've spent my day wishing I was back to doing HVAC such as replacing a heat exchanger ijn a 12" crawl under swampy houses with copperhead nests everywhere I turn or replacing an A-frame evaporator coil while fighting monster hornet in 1:12 pitch 120* attics shingled with 20-penny ring-shank nails and 15" of Rockwool insulation while buck naked.


I don't see how a bunch of grown adult office professionals can be such a selfish clueless non-communicating bunch of nitwits.  And yes, that's being extremely nice.

Welcome to my world except add.. non English speaking. Well, many of them can speak English, they choose not to which makes it even more upsetting.

Many office people are like that from my experience.  But not all.

[Sqrl Klr]

I know an office like that. Bunch of moody wimmin who refuse to say anything to customers all while blaring worship music mind you. Not a good testimony of their supposed faith.

Today I learned a high school friend passed away after a brief illness of what I don't know. Didn't even make it to 50yrs old. We had a lot of laughs and good times back in the day. We never know when our time's up.

I have successfully completed one side of the ball joint/bearing repair on my truck. Test drove it to make sure the wheel didn't fall off and the brakes stopped it. Will start on the other side this weekend. Still have to get the muffler system and evap system repaired to iron out the rough running, gas sucking mess it's in. All good, just tired, it's been a long week for me.

[Jshooter71]

So sorry for your loss, Gil. You’ll be in my prayers, as well as for your friend’s family.

Good for you, Kris, you’ll get there!

I'm envious!

That sounds like a fun day.  I'm looking forward to us heading up to our property tomorrow.  I've put my Stihl into semi-retirement until I rebuild the power head; I much prefer my Homelite HomePro (it's a "residential" line trimmer with a commercial 2-stroke Shindaiwa power-head)- nowhere near as finicky in colder or hot weather.  The Stihl has been a disappointment since day one even running WOT.  And it really doesn't like .095 line, which baffles me.  Even my Ego trimmer runs .095 and it's surprisingly capable.  When their next-gen stuff comes out, I'll probably drop some more coin.  Yes, I love line-trimmers the way I love airguns.

@ Kris: you never sit still, do ya?  I'm thinking you need to get out on the water and do some fishing, then come back and shoot one of them Korean big-bores.

You are right, I don't sit still. I would love to get on the water or pull out some of the arsenal to shoot but I have to keep the vehicles running so I can get to the water or woods. Believe me I am not happy knowing hunting season is going on and I am not in the woods. Red tide has put hamper on the coast right now. Getting the tractor going so I can get a winter garden planted and fire proof the property is on the priority list as well. The weather this summer caused a lot of set backs for me, it's has started to dry out some to where I can work on the property and not get stuck. I don't know what "park it" means anymore.

[Blowpipe Sam]

Rain today.  I would be in the field otherwise.  Catching up on administrative tasks instead.  The red tide hasn't been as bad this far east.  The mullet are running and I am for sure gonna throw the cast net this week end!  Probably put out some crab pots again too.  If the weather clears I'll go squirrel hunting.  We'll celebrate the memsahib's birthday so we'll probably go out to eat.  Shaping up to be a pretty good week end.

My wife wanted me to make her these 5 teir display racks, for markets to display her soaps. I knew once I seen the plans, that it wasn't gonna work.



But she never believed me, so I made it anyway. It was soo wobbly And massive. Over 32" high and 30" wide.. and she wanted 2 for a 6ft table..It was suppose to use no glue or nails. Honestly it was a waste of wood. Lucky I was able to save some and repurpose it to 3 teir step style.




Also found out Dewalt braid nails are garbage and don't put your hands on the side. I had the nailer straight and I was getting 90 degree blow outs.

Raked leaves from a huge oak tree in backyard. Took most of the afternoon. Only excitement was when our dog finally caught the squirrel that would sit on a low branch and tease her. It was a little too far from a tree. There was a dustup and she came out holding the squirrel (thankfully dead) by the head. After carrying it around a bit I managed to get it for the garbage. You could see how proud she was to have finally got it. Only about 20 more in the neighborhood to go.
