The New “What did you do with your Z today” (with off topic replies) XXXV

vtec to vvel · 03-08-2020, 01:52 AM

Oh yeah, I also took the Z out for the week (she sits in the garage 6.5 days/week), and while getting some oil and filter, I also made to where the top gauge clock is the time with daylight savings, and the nav clock without it (1 hour difference). That way, I don't have to keep going through the series of buttons on the dashboard.

So how does daylight savings work for those that work overnight? Like strippers, do they get to go home an hour early (spring) or work an hour extra (fall)?

At the power plant. We had the option to stay 1 hour later to make up for the lost hour.

Here’s an option for you that is much faster... If its difficult to get the zinc ones out, you can just drill another hole aside of it and stick the galvanized through the new hole and leave them both in...

And I assume you are using a “Ship Auger” bit to drill the holes, right? Those bits will drill your 5/8” holes in just a few seconds every time...

Well... At least Mr. Ford made it to this century before he left us... however,...he’s still a goner...

T-60... or maybe T-120... or maybe T-0... Heck, not really sure.

I guess if I just eat some bacon every hour on the hour, I should have all my bases covered...

Good Sunday Morning All. Hope you all are having a great weekend. Being Sunday you know what that means? "STEAK NIGHT"

The weather is looking ok for us in Austin with a 20% chance of rain partly cloudy with a high of 72*. Hope you all have a great Sunday and remember to be safe out there!!

Now you have bumped your head; we’re talking 5-700$ worth of fasteners getting credited back

The 50 5/8” ones attach the bottom of the structure to the 20 deeply cemented post....they’re in.
The others are 1/2” & some are rusted pretty much already

It’s from trying to work off the scaffold on the concrete & reach around for bolts...some more froze than others

260 1/2” bolts total + washers & nuts

jchammond · 03-08-2020, 07:41 AM

Dueling banjos are playing & sounded like a different tune

jchammond · 03-08-2020, 09:19 AM

Still 38* outside

Gonna build some breakfast & then venture out; as temps are supposed to hit 70 today

It’s 81 in FL. We had maybe 4 days of 55 degree whether this entire winter. Didn’t even get to break out the peacoat this winter

When I was at Elliott. They would tell me it was a 1 day job. I would pack for a week. Tell me 1 week. I would pack for a month. Tell me 1 month. I would start to fill out change of address cards.

Some jobs, I would take a 1 ton dually crew cab stake bed, or fly. There would be times where I'm on the road and they would call and say the job was cancelled. One time when I got to the hotel. There was a message there for me to call back to the office. Come home, job cancelled. That was a 14 hr drive one way. Another time, I got out the plane and they was paging me. Catch the next flight back. Here's your ticket home. that was in San Fran.
