Some days I don't ride. The battery was too low to start the Ural. Yes, I tried.
The 1200's battery is in the basement, and I have to admit, I wasn't even tempted to put it back in today.

 

-6* That's just wrong!

Here, maybe this will warm you up!

 

^^ Put'm in jail or the hospital.....last day off for the rest of the year...........sounds like a long time donit?

 

The shop got a "new" used Drill Mill.

Over the last 10 years we have worn out TWO brand new $1000 drill presses.

Last week we stumbled across this 33 year old drill mill. It is in excellent condition.





They just don't make them like this anymore. This unit weighs over four times more than the drill presses we've been using.





I expect this will last another 20-30 years!

if it doesn't, it's the operators fault......dad had a ''bridgeport'' drill press....it was stolen from the basement....not an easy feat, but shows you how worthy a piece of equipment is.

 

It's not as cold as up in Frozelandia...but it's pretty cold for us here right now....and projected to be colder over the next week!

We're working on some Trophies for the 4th Annual IBC.


Here's one that's almost done-





A few roughly mocked up-



















These parts are nasty, so we need to run them thru the vat before starting to weld them up.





Here are a few batches, after coming out of the vat...










Tomorrow we'll weld them up.

Got them mostly welded up today. Still have a little to do, here and there...then they need to be clear coated.

It's been a busy and COLD long weekend!

Hope everyone had a great 3 days!

I got out for a 30 minute New Years Day ride in 20* sunny temps. Was a tad chilly, even with the electric jacket, to comfortably ride any longer. Must be getting old. lol

can't wait to see my heat bill....natural gas is cheap but not when it's this cold.
