That's where I'm at today too. I did some good work this week and I'm pretty much all finished with everything. I have one more BOM that I can start costing for our customer, but it's ugly with old obsolete parts and my motivation to find current replacement parts is low. I'll pick through it and cost out the easy stuff, then Monday I'll tackle the problem parts.

Oh I experience that from time to time but now I realize that perspective is super important. I’m in a good place for my circumstances and I’m progressing forward, that’s all that matters to me.[user not found] wrote: ↑Fri Mar 16, 2018 12:04 pmThe only race I have is with myself.

I spent 3 weeks going over work scope for upcoming maintenance events at the plant. We scrutinized every single piece of equipment and ultimately reduced the work scope to just the bare bones of what needs to be done. Handed it over to the team managing the work. They got in a room with the operations department, the people in charge of running the plant, and they put damn near every single piece of equipment back into the scope saying it needs to be done without actually giving any justification for it.SAWCE wrote: ↑Fri Mar 16, 2018 11:35 amThat's where I'm at today too.

Thanks! The manufacturer added that stain for the first time ever because of our request. They are flexible about custom requests for stains but they have permanently added this spec to their lineup! My wife's suggestion.

I am not a fan, it is hard work to do a good job at it. I don't usually follow curriculums, prefer to taylor it to the needs and skill levels of the students. Thankfully thats done, and today was a 12hr doozy. Thankfully I'm taking tomorrow off to recoupe but will need to work Saturday.
If you need help with web development, I used to be a freelancer back in college. Haven't coded in a while, though.Tarspin wrote: ↑Fri Mar 16, 2018 9:11 amHey buddy, no problem. Its the email service that starts to cost but in my case it is corporate so I write it off, $50/yr is reasonable for all of that. When I get a chance, i will start building a website too.nuggstein wrote:
Awesome! Damn, didn't realize it was that expensive!
Sent my first communication to a possible customer. Acting quickly and professionally was worth the cost.

I have a pimple or ingrown hair coming in on my ass. Hurts real bad. It's just outside of where I sit, but if I shift my weight to the right side I can put some pressure on it and feel it.

I told my boss this was going to happen and we were wasting our time until we had a list of things the operation team absolutely needed done for this event. He said that it's not our problem and it'll come to surface eventually at a higher level in the company.Detroit wrote: ↑Fri Mar 16, 2018 12:42 pmJohnny_P wrote: ↑Fri Mar 16, 2018 12:26 pm

Those are the best looking hand scraped I've seen. Wide planks and that finish look great.
Did they give it a name to commemorate you, something like Surf Brown, perhaps?
