Simon was your shop buried in snow?
I've fired off a few belts of those. Very boom, such fun. When the Mk19 was finally OK'd for our Scout Platoon, I was one of the ten guys in our unit to go to "beautiful" Camp Shelby, Mississippi for the training course. Still have the manuals somewhere, even though I've been out nearly 20 years. Laying waste to a target 2200 meters distant was seriously cool.
So many irons in the fire right now, but having a really hard time getting most of them moving. No time, no money. I think I might have to just suck it up, annoy my wife, and spend some of both of those to get things launched. Phase 1 is kind of the kick-starter to everything else.
We are deep in the midst of contruction for the taproom for our brewery, in fact, we just got our drywall delivered.
Way cool. Hit up SMC for sponsorship :)
Congrats on the new job and good luck! Manufacturing is awesome but never easy.
I like to visit LA but the traffic there drives me crazy.
I wonder how much work we would get done, and if I would get dragged into doing it to. I hate spackle :)
Nope, not at all. It did get cold though.
The first step is always the hardest. Just got to take that first one :)
mmm beer!
I'm fast-track designing a new custom residence in my hometown. Its pretty sweet to be working on projects in the neighborhoods I used to race my bicycle through with friends as a kid.
At home I'm finally working on my office/paintball laboratory... Master bedroom and bath are done (till I scratch up enough $$$ for a custom shower door...), livingroom and dining room are all done, kitchen is 95% wrapped up. Debating how crazy I'm going to go with exterior christmas lights. Bought the house in August, and its been a ridiculous amount of work. We hosted Thanksgiving last week, 23 people plus babies!
I guess it's my turn:
Survived another round of layoffs at work - they shitcanned ~2000 people company wide. New CEO, new regime.
We're swapping email service providers from one large company to another, with the current contract ending on 12/31, so it's been non-stop work getting our assets together, pushed to the new vendor, stopping to answer questions every 10 minutes and meetings galore. I also see how much the peers on my team have screwed up our email program since we brought them on board - links going to wrong pages, wrong images, bogus text. When I was doing it solo, shit got done correctly - these people can't do anything without either screwing it up or asking me questions and STILL screwing it up.
Wife's play is finally showing this weekend and the next 3 - god willing she doesn't get the next play she auditioned for, it'll be nice to have her home once and a while.
Lining up winter projects around the house - we put off quite a bit until after our 10 month walkthrough (the joys of building new). So we're looking to paint (quite a bit of it too), do a backsplash in the kitchen and then plan out the garage modifications (finish drywall/insulation, run power lines).
Hmm... well, we did it board mounted, etc.Quote:
Talk about a roller-coaster of emotions. All I want is a set of HES's to mount to a 1/2" throw ram. COME ON.
They are stupid cheap for ones activated by a magnet.
Shoot me an email josh@j4pb.com
TI has a new Hall effect sensor (not switch) available.

Simon, you got it all wrong. You do the run/area of spackle, bust it through, non-stop, THEN we sit down to let it dry & that's when the bullshitting happens. You then after the dry time, do the sanding and the second coat as needed. As long as there was something more than what was there before, then its "Progress".
As long as you supply the mud & tape, i got the tools. Now i just have to find the time.
That's not a terrible Idea, though since they don't make the valve that I want, I'd have to go clippard and I don't think they'd like that.. :P
Might do that.
Clippard and SMC both make ram mounted HESs for use with their stainless bore, magnetic head rams. With the limit of information I was able to find (and understand, still learning) I was kind of hoping for them to help me find the correct one for our application.
I'll just have to do more research!
