Busy is good, it usually helps me not do stupid shit out of boredom :)

So what evil projects are you working on if I may ask ?

Mostly automobiles, music, and entertaining a friend for a couple of weeks. We're slated to return to VA soon, so I'm also trying to wrap up anything up here that will need doing before mud season.

Keeping busy up in the cold north?

Heck yeah, enjoying staffing issues of the incompetent kind so my days are long & exhausting.

Who the fuck spends $10K on a 2 year welding course if they're not truly passionate about it ? A youngin who scraps $5K worth of Hbeams in a day because he can't interpret a modern shop drawing. Two 50' monorails scrapped :/

Aw well, he's gone this Friday. Sadly that's just this week, lol ! Another one we tried last summer scrapped $2K of custom conveyor parts because he wouldn't clamp them down in the jig.

I had encouraging news today though, one of the students at the school I used to teach at is an early 30s vet, a Canuck army sniper & is looking for a place to do his internship. I'm optimistic he'd have a great work ethic & be a reliable guy for 16hr on-site shifts. He live 10 mins away from the shop & has a family to support so... can't wait to try him out !

So any new additions to your collection or just busy working on them ?
