What good thing happened while you were at work today?

I got to go home early today.....that was a good thing?!?!

Oh yes it was! Is. And still is :D

Time for a good ride!

.wee.
 
Hmmm......I've been on vacation all week --- the minions/performers haven't had to deal with me!!

No worries. I've called everyone, and all the repairs will be complete before you get in. Still having a little trouble getting whatever that is off the ceiling, but compared to the water damage, it's nothin!
 
I got a job today. My previous employer had let me go on the Monday before Christmas. It feels great to be going back to work.
 
wheelbender6- That is indeed good news. Congrats!

I scored a free McCulloch horizontal shaft engine, and some other cool odds and ends from an old gas station my company tore down. Now I am clocking out, and heading to my local brewery. Why not, right?
 
My normal work day is going out to the car, and that is the hard part, snork. Driving some where and getting some thing. I then drive it some place else. Then I go home.

I have a windowed office that corners. Head bopping, toe tapping to the radio @ 74 MPH in a 65. A dollar a mile makes me smile.

Home bound is on me and worry free. Life be good


.wee.

This is one those things I found on the job site today. Do you know what it is? I do not.
It is a brass cylinder, approximately 1 1/4" in diameter, and 9 1/2" long. In construction, it appears to have been hand brazed. It also appears to have had a bright red label at one time. There is no opening in the unit other than the valved port you see. It is operational. It is under pressure, containing some unidentified gas. Although it was unwise to do so, I smelled it, and it smelled like alcohol.

Whatcha think?

looks like part of a blow lamp to me.
I have based this on nothing in particular.
 
The pressurised liquid might be carbon tetrachloride, and the cylinder therefore would a ickle diddly little fire extinquisher. I will investigate.
 
The last of my new found treasures;

Pic 1/2- I had this very stp sticker when I was a kid. I remember thinking it was the coolest thing.

Pic 3/4- I bet this will come in handy...

Neither were we :) It resembles one of the Power Products prior to being taken over, but not totally. For a nerd like me, it really rubs me up the wrong way not being able to identify it.
