I built a miter saw table off of plans from Kreg Tool. $50 omitting the wheels. I may add some to the back legs later on. For now at least I'm off the ground.

Helped a friend pull the engine out of one of his mulchers. Going back this morning to pull the good engine from another one to put in the first one.
It was pretty easy to see what took the engine out.

Do you want to stay in NM? Sandia Labs in Albuquerque is a good place to look if you've been at Los Alamos for the past couple years.
I don't mind NM.. i don't know what jobs i actually qualify there from what ive seen with just a HS diploma and military trained (2M072, Minuteman 3 support equipment / vehicle maintenance, and Satellite processing oversight)

I don't know what they pay, but a lot of vets I've known have worked for Allied Universal.
Big weekend! Officially finished baselining, 2 years later. I have July off so I’m planning a bunch of adventures with the kiddos.
I’ll probably make it to my first hang at Daily Grind!

Looking great Bill, please tell me about that radiator!
It's an eBay special referred by someone in the 70-series group. Like most eBay aluminum radiators, it's best to be aware they can have issues with leaking but this one's been fine so far.

Pulled the exhaust manifold on the grader to change the gaskets. Broke a stud off in the head, then broke a tap off in the hole. After working on it for 3 hours yesterday and 4 this morning I was almost ready to pull the head and put it under a mill when I had an awesome idea.
I decided to blow the center out of the tap with the plasma cutter. After I had the center out all I needed to do was take a punch and break the rest away. Then ran another tap in the hole and it's now "as good as new".

Gave Brian a hand with the rear axle housing project on the Troopie last weekend. Ok, I mostly just watched, along with the neighbor's dog

Got just about 200 yards give or take to the backstop. Slight downhill slope.
I admire anybody that can hit steel at 200yds.
