Got some more Japanese iron coming in. Rearranging some of the machines, which is a massive undertaking for us since most of them weight over 50,000lbs. Any machinists in the house, I would highly recommend looking at DMGMORI for your next purchase. Yes they are high but my god do they perform.

I helped install some resinous flooring in there Davis, ca facility. Pretty neat stuff they have there. With 50' ceilings that had to be held to less than 3° from top to bottom to maintain machining tolerance

Yessir, it’s takes a lot of AC to keep our plant cool. We are really struggling with keeping the air quality to our standards during high production hours. The scrubbers we have just can’t keep up when everything is running full tilt.

Just got back from Pfronten seeing their facility over there. It’s an amazing plant for sure. There is A LOT of cool top secret tech coming out soon.

Boy 8 a day 6 days a week sounds like a heck of a work load. My little guy is special needs. I got a lot of respect speech especially when it comes to food. Nothing like going to work knowing a food fight is coming.

Solo 1800 miles drive past 42hrs. Thru WV to southwest FL and back. Saw lots of strange things along the way. Charlotte NC with no cars or traffic. That's a first..

FL welcome station closed. Free Orange Juice sign replaced with Free Covid testing for non-commercial traffic originating north of Mason-Dixon line. Cruise ships stacked up in the port of Jacksonville.

Was great ride, but somewhat apocalyptic landscapes from the highway views..

Do any of you use the UPS app to see where your driver is during the day when youre expecting a package?

My new 9mm came into my gun dealer on the route today, so I inputted the tracking number and watched myself work all day. :roflmao::roflmao:

Got phase 1 of the floor refinish done. ~4,000 sqft. Only about 16,000 left to do... 23yrs of no paint and abuse was hard to correct. But I think it looks great now.

I am thinking spray wet teflon, and forklift races. :D

Or the kid in me says sock races, greased pig catch, or small furry animal chasing. :D
