Good morning (barely) Oregon FTE gang and friends.

I've been placed on restrictions here at work... Ok, not really but I need to be a bit more careful about how much time I spend on the interweb.

Catch everyone tonight.

Morning everyone! Just checking in. Day off, and it's damn cold outside.

Wanted to wash the truck, but, that's not going to happen as car washes never get it clean enough for me.

Got that milling machine back together? You mentioned not fixing the gears right away, how far back down will it have to be disassembled to get the the gears?

Afternoon Rob! Will have more pics tonight of the main pieces back together! Not too much trouble to get at the gears after it's back together. Maybe a half hour? Back to the shop I go!

Sad on those, and a lot of other stuff.
I still get upset when I think about it

People are stupid.

Harley is getting an education now that very few will ever again get.
The days of a true machinist are numbered

That brings me much sadness

Makes me sad and mad at the same time. Another generation, and nobody will know how to do anything anymore. I am so glad Harley and my granddaughter are interested in learning all that I can teach them. Maybe a few like them can survive...

I thought my boys would be that way. God knows they know how, just don't or won't

The 3rd son is very gifted when it comes to being mechanical, but would rather steal and do drugs. What a waste.
