Hummingbird

would have been nice to put a face to a name - Monday is going to be a little hectic, gonna meet the broker and finalize shipping (not to mention him paying for it) a couple pics - one is the make up tank and the other is the bck half of the boiler

The company that was bottling hasn't for several years, the bank reposessed everything and we bought 5 semi loads of the equipment at auction. The boiler is the last thing to go. The plant is in the Snyder Industrial Park at 180 and 84 - think I'll mapquest your suggestion, it sure is no fun sitting here eating cookies. The little thorn things are real small, brown and seem to attach to my socks and occasionally to my jeans.

sure wish there was something to do today - pretty much have a free day and most of tomorrow will be the same. btw - anybody know what those little prickly thorns are called and what use could they possibly have except to aggravate

OK - so I'm here. Looks just like Ohio except there's no snow, oh and I was told that I'm in the geographic area of the largest windmill installation in the world. It is pretty neat at night to see hundreds of red lights blinking at 1100 feet high and darned near 360 degrees - quite a site Been having a hard time getting everything to jell - Semi from California, buyer from Venezuela and broker from Miami. I've spent more time on the phone than a teenie with unlimited texting

I prefer a 9mm single stack for cc. It is agreed that bigger is better, however, if more than 2 or 3 cartridges are needed to quell the impending threat, then you're probably somewhere you shouldn't have been to begin with. The other calibers are really neat to shoot, own and fondle but sometimes they just don't fit with regard to cc.

izzat so ?? well I heard that you never sleep and that you built a round hose so you couldn't be sent to the corner

whatchu talkin bout yammer

It's a Williams-Davis Boiler, 150 horse power pump, 14 feet long and weighs 12,700 lbs. Most people use it to steam clean their hardley Really, it is a 150 hp industrial boiler

bought a 150hp boiler in a now defunct salsa bottling plant in Snyder, going down to dis-connect it and ship it to the new owner in Florida. Probably be there 2 or 3 days

I'm going to be leaving Thursday for Snyder Texas in my truck. Mapquest has me going to Indy to St.Louis , tulsa etc. wondering if I might be better off taking the southern route ( speaking of weather ) Louisville, Memphis, little rock etc . it'll be a few more miles but rather have miles that snow Anybody on either of those routes those routes have local weather forcasts ? 21 hours driving is bad enough without a blizzard to contend with.

:Happy Birthday:

if light beer delays any re-occurance - sign me up before the first time. glad to hear the surgery went good for you -

years ago I had a 1x kick back and hit me just below the belly button. Shock and pain are a pretty lame explanation of how it felt. never did that again - live and learn

Yeah, they sewed it up and sent me home. That first joint doesn't work at all and it's pretty much numb but I still have it ! Took me 40 years of making saw dust to finally get stupid - funny how a little thing like that renews ones respect for tools.

it means a lot if'n you don't hit what you're aimin at because it pulled hard.

it has been mentioned but not emphasized - for me there are 3 important factors #1 - is it comfortable your hand ? #2 - how strong is the trigger pull ? #3 - if it's for daily carry, can you conceal it comfortably ? There are too many fine hand guns out there and that makes for some hard decisions. At any gun show or store you can handle anything on display ( just ask first ) and as well, you can dry fire to test trigger pull. That brings in the comfort portion, if it doesn't fit right and the trigger pull is too hard, you won't hit what you're aiming at anyway so why bother at all.

and here's what happens without the safety feature and a touch of stupidity in progression - pic #1 a couple minutes after blade test pic #2 trying to decide how to get stitches pic #3 at hospital after iodine bath I didn't get the super stop for the saw but I did wise up a little.

I have to admit that I'm not the best shot around, not even close to second BUT in a 20' to 25' range my 3 shot pattern will make a large hole especially using Home defense ammo. Anything outside of 25' is hunting - go to jail for that

except mine is an Ultra CDP 11 w/laser grip in 9mm

just another example of why Bill Gates can donate 26 BILLION dollars to charity - he obvously knows more that the average geek

you definately have many more wrenches than I have - and obviously know how to use them !! Thats quite a project - great progress so far, I can hardly wait to see the cosmetic finish.

don't forget to get some soft ties -

now wait a minute - I have a grannie that lives with me. As a matter of fact we're married ! So I'm gonna look any time she'll let me

Well, whomever runs the Grammys has decided that a dress code was in order. Earlier today it was announced that the attire for the Grammys would not include bare curves nor nothing pointy. So I guess my only question is ' why bother watching the show ? '.
