Just got heavily invited to apply for a job at another company at double my current wage and a 9 day fortnight (5 on 3 off, 4 on 2 off). It's only 80km away and I can easily afford to have my house here and a unit there if I have to until I find a place to settle. I'm at a level at current place I can take extended leave without pay to feel it out on the sly and if it doesn't work out just go back to work and lie about my holiday.

It's right up alley, and a bunch of my experience exceeds their requirements.

It's a different type of work (now gas, new is metals) but I'm sure I will have stories to tell

Whoever was manning the drill probably ended up with PTSD after that one.

In OSHA news, my office has been undergoing demolition for the last week. Since the boss is really cheap, we have to work throughout the demo without any kind of hearing or dust protection. So far we've had power knocked out, fire alarms gone off, live outlets dangling from the ceiling where walls used to be, big clouds of dust blown through the office, and someone almost knocked a wall down on top of me. On the plus side, there are dudes on four-foot stilts crouch-running up and down the halls, which is really cool if you've never seen it before.

Filling your tractor tires is also a great way to overstress a small tractor. A lot of guys do it to small tractors and then break stuff from the added stress on the drivetrain. It is very much not recommended. Get a bigger machine if you need more weight.

Good to know! We didn't have any small tractors so that was never a concern. Going bigger would have been without specialty manufacture stuff (i.e. Big Bud).

No but that's a clever idea for moving a heavy machine. I have a lever hoist like that. But I already got the crane. That thing's bigger than what I got, partially disassembled here, in need of repair and cleaning. Gonna need the crane just to lift of the Z-axis saddle.

Fill your tires with liquid water, that'll show 'em who's boss :krakken:

Back when I was a kid, we always kept the inside set of duals on our big tractor filled with water and Calcium Chloride. It adds weight which is nice and you don't have to worry about airing up. The outside set uses regular air so you can take them off and run narrow when necessary. God help you if you have to move a head height tractor tire and hub filled with liquid. The ones that are filled with air are already too heavy to lift by your self if they tip over.

I got curious about the practical applications of liquid-filled tires when I woke up this morning and discovered an outfit that will fill your utility vehicle tires with a liquid polyurethane; this solidifies to a solid elastic material which eliminates pressurization/blowout issues and makes any tire into a perma-run-flat.

https://accellatirefill.com/products/tyrfil-flatproofing/

It's technically only liquid during the application phase but still, pretty cool.

We use foam filled tires for a few applications at work. They ride like poo poo. But they're great for things like trailers you don't want to move for 5 years, then need to hook up to it and pull it out.

How do you clean it out when you want to move it again? Acetone?

I'm guessing the tires would be dry rotted by that point so it's probably not worth the effort anyway.

I have a couple wheelbarrows I stuffed full of heavy foam rubber chunks because their tyres would always go flat because of all the blackthorn around here.

They're certainly a bit bouncy now, but otherwise seems to work a treat.


You just need to ask which you think would annoy you more - a sore arse or flat tyres.

We don't. And if they're dry rotted to poo poo (they always are) that's ok. The foam holds it together to some degree.

I figured even the softest grade material they advertised would still ride like a wagon wheel compared to pneumatic tires but yeah, probably works great in environments lousy with puncture threats like mining or demolition or that trailer deal.

BURY ME AS I LIVED, A FREE MAN ON THE CLUTCH

I knew a guy in college that disassembled and reassembled a full size vertical mill to put in his dorm room. One piece at a time. It must have weighed near a ton. As I recall it was an Enco but I could be wrong, It was 20 years ago. He got it on the cheap from someone. His degree was in model making and rapid prototyping. He could work overnight that way.

The cutting oil soaked into the hall carpeting and it made a hell of a noise but he never got in trouble for it.

To be fair, I used to run a 1.5 horse pancake air compressor in my dorm all hours of the night and I didn't get complaints either. It was loud as hell, but no-one said anything. I'd set the compressor on top of my flip-n-gently caress couch to keep the vibration down. I used it for painting and airbrushing.

That's college for you. I'm surprised that any dorm room survives an 18 year old kid. I still have that air compressor though. It's a workhorse. The cooling fan doesn't work any more but it doesn't seem to mind.

https://www.space.com/42705-cosmonauts-spacewalk-soyuz-spacecraft-hole.html

quote:

Two Russian cosmonauts ventured outside the International Space Station today (Dec. 11) to cut into a spacecraft and inspect the source of a pressurization leak that briefly plagued the outpost earlier this year.

Expedition 57 flight engineers Oleg Kononenko and Sergey Prokopyev of the Russian federal space agency Roscosmos conducted the 7-hour and 45-minute spacewalk. The two cosmonauts worked on the exterior of the Russian Soyuz MS-09 spacecraft, where the space station’s crew had earlier found and repaired the leak from the inside.

On Aug. 29, flight controllers monitoring the space station’s systems from the ground first noticed a small loss of cabin pressure aboard the orbiting laboratory. The then-Expedition 56 crew, including Prokopyev, Alexander Gerst of the European Space Agency (ESA) and Serena Auñón-Chancellor of NASA, were able to trace the leak back to a 0.1-inch (2 millimeters) hole in the orbital compartment of the Soyuz MS-09 spacecraft, which was docked to the Rassvet module on the Russian segment of the space station.

After consulting with both Russian and U.S. flight controllers, Prokopyev applied an epoxy to a gauze wipe and used it to plug the hole. The repair halted the leak, and the space station has since maintained a steady pressure.

Today, Prokopyev joined Kononenko on a spacewalk to inspect the repair area from the outside in an effort to discover what caused the leak and to collect a sample of the epoxy that had extruded through the hole from the inside.

To reach the area needed to perform the inspection, Kononenko rode at the end of two Russian Strela booms, translating from the Pirs docking compartment where the spacewalk began to the Zarya functional cargo block (FGB) and then up alongside the Soyuz. Prokopyev controlled the booms’ motion from the opposite end, moving Kononenko into place, before shimmying up the second boom himself.

At the worksite, Kononenko and Prokopyev took turns using a knife and a pair of long-arm scissors to stab at and cut away layers of brown, gold and silvery insulation. As they cut into the spacecraft, small fragments of the material floated away and formed a cloud of debris.

The two cosmonauts then used the same tools to cut into and peel away a thin metal orbital debris shield to expose the hole in the Soyuz MS-09’s orbital compartment.

"That is exactly the hole we’ve been looking for," reported Kononenko after peeling back more of the foil insulation and metal layers that were hiding it.

The hole appeared as a black mark or spot on the exposed metal skin of the Soyuz spacecraft.

Kononenko used a pair of forceps and a swab to collect samples of the dark epoxy. The residue, stowed inside a bag, was brought back inside the space station and will be returned to Earth for analysis.

With the spacewalk running long on time, flight controllers decided to forgo having Kononenko and Prokopyev install a replacement insulation blanket over the spacecraft’s exposed skin. The orbital compartment on which they worked is purposely jettisoned and destroyed during the re-entry of the Soyuz descent module into Earth’s atmosphere.

Tuesday’s spacewalk began at 10:59 a.m. EST (1559 GMT) and ended at 6:44 p.m. EST (2344 GMT) when the hatch to the Pirs docking compartment was closed. The extravehicular activity (EVA) was the 213th spacewalk in support of assembly and maintenance in the 20-year history of the space station.

This was Kononenko’s fourth EVA and Prokopyev’s second. Kononenko has now logged a total of 26 hours and 12 minutes working in the vacuum of space, including a 2008 spacewalk when he performed similar work to what he did on today, cutting into the insulation covering the Soyuz TMA-12 spacecraft to remove a pyrotechnic device. Prokopyev now has spent 15 hours and 31 minutes on EVA.

Prokopyev, Gerst and Auñón-Chancellor are scheduled to return to Earth aboard Soyuz MS-09 on Dec. 19 after 6.5 months aboard the space station.

Kononenko, together with NASA astronaut Anne McClain and David Saint-Jacques of the Canadian Space Agency, will remain aboard the space station as Expedition 58 crewmembers through June. An additional three crew members, including Roscosmos cosmonaut Aleksey Ovchinin and NASA astronauts Nick Hague and Christina Hammock-Koch, are slated to launch to the station on Feb. 28.
