Ouch!…. if it wasn’t for bad puns I wouldn’t have no puns at all. No good, clean, pun here .<\/p>\n
Anyways, I think this here blog idea\/function is fairly cool ; never tried it anywhere before but am no stranger to posting strange ideas that come to mind. Having\u00a0 a(nother) (not thatI’m one of those <\/em>people that think ‘nother’ is a real word)\u00a0 place to place\u00a0 actual, meaningful, work-related thoughts can only be a good thing .\u00a0 Not that I have much time for much of anything besides work and moving right now.\u00a0 Moving SHELTECH ….yep, but more about that later.<\/p>\n I’m still fighting with the rolling mill project , since I have another client seriously interested , one that could make some r&d time worth doing . The latest problem is keeping strips flat as they go through the mill, which I solved by sandwiching the copper strip between the texture plate and a flat plate . This forces the mill to operate with the rollers separated by close to their limit, which turns out to be bad for my poor Pepe millthat I had to replace the drive-shaft\/ roller\u00a0of . This time the shear pins sheared right away , and I’m not even doing anything as demanding as before, when I was rolling steel-to-steel to transfer texture . I just gave up on Pepe\u00a0 and have been looking around at more sturdily built mills. I haven’t decided but I have to say that the folks at Durston have been VERY helpful and informative about my specific needs, answering a lot of questions I wasn’t sure anyone would be comfortable answering . An enthusiastic ,and now public ,THANK YOU !!! to Matt and Will there . A shout -out, you betcha\u00a0! (GOD I didn’t really just say THAT, did I ? …\u00a0 but maybe there’s ‘HOPE’ for me yet , nudge nudge wink wink) ((American-political inside-humor)).\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Ah… so… time to stfu and get back to it.<\/p>\n Y’all come back now… hear ?.<\/p>\n
