Fantastic way to spend any day, to spend your birthday there, well , it couldn't possibly get any better!! The place looks incredible. And your wife
Thanks. Those are pretty awesome. Couple rocks glasses will do.
I think it started as a bet to see if they could get rednecks to spend $30 on a beer glass.
“Put a bullet in it and an American flag on it and they will buy it”.
And I want one. And I will drink from it every day. Might need one for my desk at work.

Oxtail soup is done, it'll be much better tomorrow though. Got about 7 quarts. Probably freeze half of it.
Decided instead of sleeping when I got home from work this morning I would make soup all day.

1930’s tech still relevant......
Can you figure out what it is?
Can you figure out what it is?
Yup, we still use this tech on transducers that are a strain gauge hooked to a computer.
Old+new=Calibration
Yeah I've been there before using transducers and oscilloscopes. 10 mV, no good. 11 mV, she's all right.
Wow.....1-5mV, 0-5000psi ? Low res.....
But, if thats all you need, its all you need. I assume a diff signal for noise immunity.
Yeah, it’s just a transducer for pressure testing orifice manifolds for flow measurement at oil/gas sites. They pump it up to 3-4000psi for an hour and look for bleed off, then the computer printouts a certificate of pressure testing. We installed a new Tranducer and calibrated it. Ye ha.Wow.....1-5mV, 0-5000psi ? Low res.....

You people from up north having bad weather / snow keeping ranges snowed in
are not the only ones missing range time.
The weather in Texas is also messing up my range day.
Mid February 70 degree day, sounds tough rite? Poor me.
Had to blow off the range and mow the darn yard! Lol

No elk yet...but there is time yet? Def keep an eye on hydration....or lack there of?
My view will be changing on September 1st. I am the last cube on the last row on the right as of now. No one hears or sees me. Nothing. If there is a system problem I will get an e-mail. After 35 years as a programmer, I DONE. I have had enough. At 70 I did my part. Time to literally ride off into the sunset & not look back.
Only project I have left is getting both eyes rebuilt. Cannot see worth beans.
I have documented everything I know so that whoever follows me will not have a learning curve. Best I could do.
It used to be fun, really. The first 25 or so years I could almost do what ever I wanted. Just kept my boss informed, and produced a really good application / database system. Now, it is all paperwork & covering your parts. Security has gone thru the roof.

Cataracts are easily fixed these days, no muss no fuss on the range in 24 hrs for me.
Just do it while you got insurance. You will be pissed you waited!

Yeah got up to 85 or so here in the North of Austin area. Pretty nice!
But right now, it’s Friday night at the Hockey fights.
We’re ahead 2-1 at the end of two. And it’s Mardi-Gas.

My view tonight is chilli's in Manhattan beach, dropped the kids at LAX for their flight home, of to Laughlin tomorrow then keep working our way North.
My view is a pile of empty boxes. My mom has moved after 32 years in Dallas and is now 10 min from us. First time home buyer at the age of 76. Tired but happy. Now where is the beer???
Its 16 outside but we can still put the tent up inside
Birthday presents for Mom and Day AND the tooth fairy. LOL.
Be careful in those trampoline parks too.

They’re a good place to burn off some steam when the weather isn’t very nice. Maybe he’ll knock out the other one ?
A couple of pics from the match today.

Thats great! My peanut lost the same one on Thursday at her Valentine’s Party at school. They get so excited about losing teeth is funny.
This one took a while and hurt a wuite a few times when she forgot and bit into something. So the Tooth Fairy was pretty generous.....
Or dad is a giant sucker for the kids. She saves it all and donates to charities she wants to from it.
Some teaching is sinking in.......

OMG you're becoming Ohio
We get snow but probably not like you guys??? Two elk and 6 deer came down off of the rim but too far out for a pic. Need to get one of those phone gadgets for my spotting scope?
Little guys came out of the crick bottom to say hello..

A joke is a joke guys but could you please turn off the welcoming weather. If the snow plow had not been through we would not have been able to get gas at Cedar City, snowed most of the way from there to Salt Lake City. The motel car park is like an ice rink. Temperature is almost 100 degrees below what it was at home.
Gonna talk shit about cold Australian weather again, homie?
Barney........
You don't want to come any where near Kansas City...........great BBQ........the weather sucks.............

I'd be flinching
Hehehe, it's funny you guys mention that actually. I had a friend load a magazine for me with two snap-caps loaded randomly (as pictured) later on in the day. I passed the test

Dude that is awesome ? Great tool?
Yeah they are. Available in a lot of calibers too (or you just load a spent primer and seat a bullet on an uncharged case too). Can't tell a difference chambering the snap-caps either which is good.
I've been shooting for quite a long time, but it never hurts to put yourself in check occasionally. Bad habits live long if you don't.
Good Lord man. That’s a whole winter packed into 1 day. I hope the results were what you’d hoped/planned, and you had fun.
Thanks! Oh yes, very enjoyable. I just had an urge and I knew what the cure was. Fixed it right up, at least for now. Very good results across everything. I was impressed with all of my rigs - good feeling knowing I need to tune nothing at the moment, hehe.
On the 2.5 hour drive home from work today (after being on the road for 7), I had 9 wrecks to pick from. Normal winter driving conditions for WI and IA. I chose this one. I’m guessing Ricky Bobby had been a watchin’ that there Daytoner 500 mile race and got all jacked up on adrenaline and Busch Light. Backed his Dodge into the guardrail when it got loose at 70 mph. For you locals, this is 151 SW bound right by the Dickeyville (I’m not making this up) hill climb.
