My hip hurts where they hit me with the steroid shot( I swear they put battery acid in the syringe) I actually winced and had to grit my teeth, and let out a long sigh of relief when it was done. the antibiotic shot was a walk in the park compared to the first one. 6 hrs later and my throat no longer hurts and my ears are not ringing as much. i ought to be at least 80% tomorrow.
good night all, I am going to find a tylenol PM. i have to be up at 430am so I cant get the good sleeping pills out......
I know how that is brandon I have to go get a shot in my foot every 2 months or so... It is a big needle!
the miller 251 is a good welder,of coarse i am partial to miller welders
I have two millers and a hobart 110 mig
one miller is a 225 portable,the other is a miller LE mig tig and stick
Inever use the big mig,gotta mortgage the farm to buy a roll of wire,and the litle hobart is fine for the mig work I need to do
I will take a pic of one of the Hobart machines that we still use at work. It was built in 1957 and still works great. Huge, ugly, old machine. They use it in the fab shop and also on the production line as a demagnetizer. It's the only arc machine that we have left. Everything else is Miller and are either MIG or heli-arc machines. We also have a Miller plasma cutter that gets a lot of heavy duty use.
Andrew if your going to bow my man you gotta do it like this:
Two more this morning! Separate traps though..but both had one. These mice are just babies. I think I am dealing with whats left of a litter.

Ouch! In the hip? eeee....I've had shots in the butt and I've had IV's and blood taken several times, but never anything in the hip. I bet that is sore this morning!

Y'all started this, not me. Consider this. Bone marrow removed from hip for biopsy. I've had that done on more than one occasion. Even the prettiest tech they could come up with did not help much.
I'm going to vote, I better not get too far behind this morning. Lisa has checked in almost 2 hours earlier so that is a sign for lots of activity in the O/T today.

Two more this morning! Separate traps though..but both had one. These mice are just babies. I think I am dealing with whats left of a litter.
Good morning all.
I guess with the cold weather, they are coming in to a nice warm house. We have three cats and they are very active right now with the mice around the yard. Found 2 dead critters on Sunday morning from them.
I usually use 6011 or 7018. There is one rod 7018AC that works great with the el cheapo buzz boxes. You are right Scott 7018 is the best when it comes to laying a nice bead.
this is from Lincolns web site,I tried to find last night why I don't use 7018 as an everyday rod
Do I need an oven to store low hydrogen electrodes?
All low-hydrogen consumables must be dry to perform properly. Unopened Lincoln hermetically sealed containers provide excellent protection in good storage conditions. Once cans are opened, they should be stored in a cabinet at 250º-300ºF (121º-149ºC).
When the electrodes are exposed to the air, they will pickup moisture and should be redried. Electrodes exposed to the air for less than 1 week with no direct contact with water should be redried as follows:
<TABLE width="80%" border=0><TBODY><TR><TD>E7018:</TD><TD>1 hour at 650º-750ºF</TD></TR><TR><TD>E8018, E9018, E10018, E11018:</TD><TD>1 hour at 700º-800ºF</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>If the electrodes come in direct contact with water or have been exposed to high humidity, they should be predried for 1-2 hours at 180º-220ºF first before following the above redrying procedure.
Standard EXX18 electrodes should be supplied to welders twice per shift. Low hydrogen electrodes with the suffix "MR™" have a moisture resistant coating and may be left out up to 9 hours or as specified by code requirements.
