Educating our youth, one 42 minute block at a time.
 
I love what I do for the most part. I get paid to think mostly when I am at my gov job occasionally I will run and experiment at the request of my superiors and this I love, putting my brain to the challenge of solving problems is great but I guess you cant say I do too much actual "work". I work two part-times just for kicks, one as a math teacher at a local Uni and the other as a manager for hyvee. I don't care much for the teaching job because most of my students are just there because they have to be and have no actual desire to learn. I do like the hyvee job though because I get to actually do some work.
 
I too love my job. Sometimes I can hardly believe they pay me to do it rather than the other way around. I spent 29 years on active duty and since 2009 have worked as a contractor teaching young 'uns to fly in the mountains and other things.

Get us some pics!
 
I'm sorry, but posting a pic of what I do would violate confidentality rights. I work in medical records for a facility that serves the intellectually and developmentally disabled. I love the work but it is kind of heartbreaking to deal with some of the histories that many of these folks have.

Sooo..... You teach phernology? Just a guess but keep up the good work! I was teaching at a Tech College for 2 years and most folks have no idea how exhausting a 1 on 15 can be! We certainly need more STEAM in this country. :mug:
 
I have pictures of me and Matisyahu on the other phone
Also Mc Hammer came in a couple months ago
Counting crows played for us in our kitchen about a year ago

I love my job to the point that most of the time doesn't seem like work. I got extremely lucky over the summer and started working for a craft brewery and after a couple of months interning and expressing my intent to stay, came on long term as a brewer in Nov.

Here is a quick picture I took at work

CAT bucket, photo taken by my friend Kristopher Brass. This is not my work, but something e do in our shop. I just posted cuz I like the photo with the black n white conversion and the shadows. More for the photo than the subject matter.

what I used to do. anything from 1"-30" for the methane & oil fields. now it's all just flat, no roots, all wire, boring structural stuff. parts for field sprayers & such.

Nice bead on that last one!

those were all in-place re-fit except the offset 90 with the short pup. the expansion joints would have fit better too if my old boss would have let me take the measurements & pull parts instead of torch cutting in place. *sarcastic whiny voice* "It'll take too long!"

I've had to use this plenty of times: Boss, if we don't have time to do it right, we surely don't have enough time to do it over.

On cruise, there is a moral obligation to grow a disgusting stache.

Also, in accordance with NATOPS I immediately put my mask back on after getting a drink of water.

I am retired now but worked as a Letter Carrier for 30 years. Here I am on the job when it was -22 below zero once upon a time....

You make those tiny parts? That's cool. Do you use a tiny lathe or mill to make those? What are those pieces used to test?

Refueling post-flight. Took the flight doc (in the back seat) on a low level training route through SE WV.

It's a Swiss lathe. It's not particularly small, but can machine very small stock. Much of what we make goes into our oscilloscopes, and we also do a lot of radar equipment. Anything where precise measurements are needed, we try to be there.

you ever make a beer faucet?

A teeny tiny one? ;) Nah, never made one. It's actually not at all worth it to go through all the trouble of designing, doing the CAM, tooling up, dialing in the setup and machining just for one faucet. I'd have to make at least 20 for it to be worth my time. Plus, faucets are mostly cast. My faucet would either be very square looking, or I would have to put it up on one of the 5-axis machines and use a ball endmill to profile out the faucet curves. And that would take several hours of machining time.

Finally up and brewing at my new job! This was a pic from our commissioning brew, a simple ESB as a sort of 'calibration' to see how the system was going to work, what kind of numbers I would expect to hit, etc. before rolling out our regular beers. I have had three more brew days on this system since and it's going pretty darn well. :D

you lost me. I'm not seeing a problem. :rockin:
 
The welds cascade from 16mm-12mm-8mm-16mm on this bucket.
The bucket I'm on now has 18mm-14mm-8mm-16mm.
All is .052 hardwire.
