The CZickness XLIV Girding our loins for 2022

Can we vaccinate the thread?

No need. Most of us have anti-virus software.
And a mask!

Yea. Tdogg told me you have to take shots.

I almost forgot the best part, i watched the bossman pull on a run testing how much it would take to adjust the length at the main panel. Anyway, he put his full 250lbs into it and ended up slowly dropping into a puddle of lube (gotta use liberal amounts of lube with this wire).

500s are a heavy pull. Hope you got to keep the scrap.

Did you get a new tugger?

Were not done with it yet, we had 4 runs @120ft a pop. Used about 70 to get to the new 480 panel and were hoping the other 50ish will get us to the new transformer. There might be a couple feet of scrap leftover but it wont be mine. I could fashion a mighty fine beating stick out of a chunk. Its all for a new swiss machine and to finish hooking things up from the move.

1.544 lbs/ft !

Yes, i dont feel old often but tonight is one of those nights lol. That stuff does not like to cooperate.

Yeah, baby! A shot of JD might not cure COVID, but, if you drink enough, you won't care!

that's hilarious!

I'm not sick. Though I had to take my wife to a doctors appointment. She thinks she has kidney stones. We will know in a day or two.

I hope everyone gets to feeling better soon.

Sorry to hear that. I don't wish that on anyone. Had a couple that I passed on my own and that's another level of pain.

Now no caffeine and lots of lemonade and Sprite, etc for the citric acid these days.

I might take a sip tonight. Might help my back too. Back is getting better, but quality of sleep is poor. Still better than some other's sleep.

Evening folks! I need to hit the range one warm day soon. It’s been a while since I’ve run a P07. Those are near the top of the list of favorite CZs for me. That reminds me that I need to get my compact from my son. That’s another favorite that I want to play with sometime soon.

Back pain is very painful. I was thankful to find a chiropractor that could help me.

We must be getting old in here folks. Talking about our ailments and appointments with a little bit of guns mixed in... Just the way life goes sometimes I guess.

Here’s something to brighten up those sick among us.

Up battling the dreaded Rona.

CKW was just asking if you had put any new pics of the little one up. I said not in a while. This will get a solid smile out of her.
Thanks RH.

Our Chiro is a solid reason I could stand upright and keep working in my trade. Many I came up with in the trades succumbed to back issues.

Yep, trying to get the fever down right now. Feel slightly better than yesterday, but that's not saying much. The WuFlu is kicking my butt.

She got her shots yesterday so I was going everything I could to make her smile. Such a happy little one.

Obviously.
Little man got his shoots a few days ago and he showed his frumpy side.

Sorry to hear that WT. Hopefully things improve today

Good morning : one and all.

Got 10 hours of sleep..in 5+5 increments. I'll take it.
Drove back to DSM yesterday and was a very quick trip.
540 miles 7 hours
Zooom zooom

Checked into a new Northern Lite Truck Camper when we got to DSM.
Holy Schmoly are they nice.....and expensive.
*what isn't these days*

Problem is if hafta get a Tonner truck to haul that 3300# animal. Makes for a $150k investment. OUCH

I am still thinking in it.
