I stepped out on the porch and promptly jumped back inside
too cold to be out for me, way better to sit inside and look out

how cold is it up there tom?

its warmer down here and what i mean by warmer mid 30's from the last few days it was low 20's or teens..
thinking about taking a short drive on the backroads

tommudd · **Posted:** Sun Jan 23, 2011 4:36 pm

TV said 4 this morning, my thermometer said 2, its now 16
30s is OK, but at under 20 everything is just plain cold.
Talking to my sister in law in Dar-es-Salaam last night and she was complaining how hot it was there! :lol:

blackwidowkj06 · **Posted:** Sun Jan 23, 2011 4:43 pm

shoot, it's just been to dang cold to go wheeling here. can't wait for it to warm up so i can go wheeling again. umm lets say that probably won't happen til late march here. more snow tonight, i saw it on weather.com but the weather channel lies and isn't very reliable, so i'll just watch the local news tonight.

tom, i feel sorry for you all living so close to the canadian cold air. couple weeks ago, the local paper had on the front page 32 BELOW (and that happen back in 1994). geez, i'd go nuts if it stayed that cold down here for ever.

BTW im watching Barrett Jackson and a restored '45 Willys Jeep sold for $26,000 w/ machine gun (doesn't fire :cry:

)

Got the compressers out and a spring :shock:

Waiting for them to thaw out before I go cranking on them :ROTFL:

tommudd · **Posted:** Sun Jan 23, 2011 4:57 pm

Springs would be so cold now they would crack like ice
well almost..... not quite that bad
but trying to work with cold steel is no fun!

KJWildman · **Posted:** Sun Jan 23, 2011 4:57 pm

Just went out to check ....... Therm on the deck says 11* ! :shock:

FRIGGIN COLD!!!!!! :shock:

And I had someone PM me about why I'm not working and making progress out on the KJ in the driveway outside!! :roll:

blackwidowkj06 · **Posted:** Sun Jan 23, 2011 4:59 pm

wow...maybe if they would look at where you live, they would know why there isn't progress on the KJ

Oh by the way Tom, my buddy has a old Franklin (I think) buzz box, he says it worked fine when his Dad used it in the 70's once or twice :shock:

I am free to use it when I want, he also has 220 hook up and a shop I use. Going to dust it off (looks almost new) and get some rod so I can start playing with it and see how it goes..........

oh, yes I'm home after I told Tom and Hart that I was working this weekend!

I WALKED OFF MY NEW JOB YESTERDAY!!!! :evil:

SAFETY FIRST!!!!!!! That's what the new boss told me when he hired me. :roll:

So...... There's this big machine ... (22' x 28' x 32' Tall) that grinds plastic into 1/4" flakes. There is a conveyor belt that goes from ground level up in to this machine. The bearings on the upper roller on the conveyor locked up and SNAPPED a 2-1/2" dia. shaft on a big roller. To get to this shaft you have to crawl inside the big grinder! there are blades that are 1-1/2" thick x 3" wide x 5' long ground to a razor sharp edge. All these are on a spinning drum that is about 8' in diameter. He wanted 4 of us to climb up, stand on top of the grider drum with the blades, heft this big broken 250# roller onto our shoulders while balancing ourselves and then climb down with it!!! F$#K THAT!!!!! :furious:

One of the guys was just telling me on Tuesday about a maintenance guy that had slipped and fell across the grinder blades while changing them and was in the hospital for 2 weeks and almost lost an arm!!! :dizzy:

The other maint. guys did as they were asked and got up there but I refused and the Super got all pissy!
:banghead:

The thing is ... they have all the right equipment to do the job safely! They even have a self propelled Caterpillar crane that would have reached right in there and with a couple lifting straps, plucked it right out. AND BEEN SAFE!!!!! :roll:

The supervisor said that would "take too long, production is down because of this!" I DON"T GIVE A CRAP!!!!!! I'm not puttin myself in jeopardy for production. My way would've taken about 1-1/2 hours. His way took an hour. I say TOO BAD!!!! He saved 1/2 hour but if something HAD happened ....... :juggle:

He got all mad at me and questioned my commitment to my job! SOOOOOOORRRRRRRY!!!!!! C---YAAAAAA!!!!

I QUIT!!!!

Hopefully that other interview that I was talking to Hart about will work out and call me Monday. If not ... I'll just keep looking!! :!:

blackwidowkj06 · **Posted:** Sun Jan 23, 2011 5:29 pm

geez what an idiot! (your former boss that is)

don't worry, something will come along your way. i lost my job this past tuesday, and i'm going to try for unemployement soon. thank you chris for mentioning unemployement, my brain was in a whirlwind and that was far from my mind.

KJWildman · **Posted:** Sun Jan 23, 2011 5:40 pm

Not even gonna try for unemployment, won't get it anyway ... I quit. That's okay, there's more jobs out there for skilled trades. Some white collar jobs are hard to find but us "workers" can always find a job somewhere!! :SOMBRERO:

blackwidowkj06 · **Posted:** Sun Jan 23, 2011 5:47 pm

yes that is true...

just keep looking, something will turn up. i hope i can get a job when im done with college next yr.

teckman02 · **Posted:** Sun Jan 23, 2011 5:59 pm

larry what i would have done was "we do it my way or i make a call to OSHA" if everyone doen not know what OSHA is it stands for Occupational Safety and Health Administration and trust me i have had to call them a few times when i was a job setter with Delphi.
