well I splurged today. bought a digital caliper, solar auto-darkening welding helmet and a whole bunch of other stuff. I have a little 70AMP arc welder, and I've NEVER welded before. everyone tells me wire feed is easier. they have a really nice Deca wire feed welder at Princess Auto (same as your Harbour Freight). well, I guess i'll try burning holes in steel tomorrow.

Wire feed is way easier[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] If you buy one, I suggest a quality welder, I bought the Hobart 140 for around $350[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] Very happy with it.

Ya know, I've never seen one live, only in magazines. but what you're saying is exactly what I think when I see a Hummer. The first generations designed for military use were neat, but the rest are for napoleon-pecker complex men. my 10 y/o likes the CXT, but he's into total 4x4 stuff.

Oh, and yeah, I'm posting from work. Gotta get this damn project done. At least I've figured out how to really use this new app we dropped $6,500 for. My plan is to work until 4am, go home, shower, eat breakfast and come back at 6. Came in at 2pm, left at 8pm and just got back.
Fresno PD was scraping some little red car off the ground around the corner. NOt sure what happened, but it hit SOMETHING. What that something was, I don't know. I'm thinking brick wall by the shape, but since there isn't one in the middle of the intersection.

Considering it's using that masterpiece of automotive engineering: GM 6.2L Diesel you can't expect much. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Where's Hoss been?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img] He's been missing ever since he brought the mighty PSD (on topic for once[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]) for some tranny work. Maybe he's in the hospital from a bad case of sticker shock[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
