TGPWS 7: New Year. See if we can wash the stink off.

[CHUG]

Yep. Should have worn the welding helmet. Had eyes and ears on. But it wasn't enough.

Dang. those stitches blend in with your whiskers.. ;-) Your lips protected yea from getting Early Dentures..

I fear those things, and always keep Protective shield on grinder, while wearing leather gloves and full face shield. Seen too many grinding wheels Meet flesh.. Me learn from others!

 

[Prime]

I had welding gloves on too. Haha. Which are now horribly stained with blood from me grabbing my mouth immediately after it happened.

Interestingly I got a call from my brother in law. He wanted to ask if it was a Harbor Freight cutting wheel. Which it was. He told me that they're banned from using those at his job because they explode so easily.

 

[CHUG]

^^^^ hmm. Sounds like faulty Quality Rejects.. those high speeds I want Quality!!. Paint and leaking fluids hurts!.

Yea lived to tell the tale!. So others will not repeat mistake.

Glad was minor.. go pour your self a fine whiskey.. Use a tippy cup so you do not harm your self again. ;-)

Haven’t used my angle grinder, but def going to get some non-harbor freight wheels and discs and face mask before I ever do

Double header was long but enjoyable.

Took the Camaro to the drag strip last night. Average around 10.80s at 64mph. Not bad for a sticker stock LO3 car.

Headed to Big Levels for a trail ride / truck rescue. Full size Chevy busted on the fun line up the mountain. Gonna meet the kid at the trail head and give him a ride up and assist with the repair. Hopefully a good day.

My exploding one was also Harbor Freight. Guess I’ll change them out more often and when I’m low switch to another brand.

High speed rotating things are not something to cheap out on. People lose eye's, and teeth, and have horrible facial disfigurements from that shiat.

You also need to make sure the discs are rated for the rotation of the tool.

Glasses, shield, gloves and safety guard.

Bossman asks if I want to work another Saturday. Don’t worry, he says… this will be easy. You’re just there to train one of the new guys on a bigger generator load test.

Me: cables. All the cables.





But hey, it’s a ton of overtime in addition to all the other overtime I made this week. So that’s good. Overtime is good.

That could be amazing if done correctly. But you right.

I dunno about that. I rather enjoy my job.

Got the Chevy off the mountain and had a great day wheeling. Bunch of folks on the FB talking crap about the guy, not knowing the whole story and ALSO not offering to help...

The Nittos did good. At least I'm happy with them offroad.

What happened to the chevy?

 

[TerryD]

What happened to the chevy?

Dude ran Big Levels solo. Busted an inner TRE and walked out. Next day he drove the 2hr back, walked in to fix it but had the wrong parts (chevy used two steering systems those years ugh) and then walked back out.

Put up a sign the spur was blocked, posted online to let folks know he would be back the 13th to try again to get it. Folks started giving him down the road about it. He's a firefighter and had to call in some favors to get the day off. He and his girl were gonna walk in today to try again.

Since Sean and I had planned on running the trail with another group today anyways, we headed up early and met them. We gave them a ride in, helped them fix it, and helped them get it off the trail. They were nice folks. That was his first time offroading and it could have ended a lot worse. But I think he really learned some good lessons from this whole thing. First and foremost, never go alone!

 

[Prime]

Never wheel alone. Never.
