Thats basically a trip hammer, the machine from which power hammer derived.

And oh, where there's a whip there's away. :ugeek: :mrgreen:

I start singing it anytime one of the managers come up with a last minute brilliant idea, that invariably involves me spending more time at work than I want to..

For some reason, I get weird looks for it. :mrgreen:

Argh.... My heater which was supposed to be delivered October 2, shipped and now has an estimated delivery date of the 22nd "because bad weather" or some such. Not finding any good options for getting another one shipped much faster, either. At least all the pipe should be here in a few days. I may tackle removing the smaller heater which I was going to remove anyway, since that may be where the blockage is, and it's something I can do which may help while I wait for the new heater to arrive The only good thing is that at least I won't be trying to do everything in one big all day thrash. :x

After watching the latest episode of Lower decks on a certain video hosting site(that I check daily for new stuff like motion pictures ;) ), I finally know what I want to be when I grow up...

"In a game against the Dodgers, the opposing leadoff batter was a speedy rookie. In his first appearance against Gibson, he bunted for a hit.

Gibson retired the next eight batters before the rookie came up again. Once again, the kid bunted for a hit.

In appearance number 3, Gibson’s first pitch smashed into the rookie’s helmet, knocking him down and nearly out. Gibson took a few steps towards the fallen batter and yelled: “Bunt that, a**h***.”"

RIP, Bob Gibson.

Put a MEC Sizemaster in backorder a couple of months ago, and it arrived yesterday. So far I am not real impressed. Fit of some parts is marginal, and the manual is garbage as far as getting it assembled goes. Wish they had put half the effort into the instructions that they did into the included literature trying to sell me their other products.
