Yup.

That certainly is an old looking bearing. Doesn't look to have failed due to the lack of grease.

Edit* I just realized your post is literally the exact same as mine i made a year or so ago. AMU was making a "squeak / squeal" and i just figured it was the belt... Nope.


Unrelated poorly designed sink i used at a hotel recently.

Been seeing a lot of coyotes around the city lately.




This is in Detroit, i've seen them at my place in Allen Park but they've always taken off when hit with headlights or something.

This tower is only about ten years old, but due to the nature of being a TV station, it runs 24/7 all year round. Tom the building engineer swears that all of the bearings in that tower get lubed at the specified interval. There was in fact a fair bit of grease present, there just weren't any ***** for it to lubricate.

I've tasked Tom with reviewing our choice of lubricant. Not gonna go full RedLine here, but maybe a grease that we didn't purchase as war-surplus from a manufacturer in Uzbekistan.

(WW 1, mind you.)

That is one of my pet peeves. Not just poor layout, but needlessly fru-fru sinks / faucets in general.

In my business the owner would swear his people grease that bearing every day.

Here's my latest

I can only imagine the **** you deal with...

At least in my line of work, the people doing harm to the equipment are all full-time employees.

I perceive the original to be a composite of the left and right halves of Y8s image. Lighter / less saturated than the left, darker / more saturated than the right.

This one's for you, @Braineack




EDIT: by way of explanation, that is a painting-on-black-velvet which hangs in the restroom at the barber shop I go to, which is illuminated with a UV-A (BLB) lamp.

Yeah, we already knew that and this. But what do it see?

Also glad to know what you see with the dress, that's as good as I can explain what I see as well, light blue and goldish brown.

Just spent an hour getting preached to while trying to enjoy a couple of beers at a bar in Cave City, KY.

Now sitting in a minivan at an RV park, waiting for my sister to arrive in the rig. The radio station which was WBEZ (91.5) when I left Chicago is now a preacher telling me about how the devil knows the bible.

Conclusion: I'm in God's country.

Are you going to do mammoth cave? I highly recommend the candlelit tour. And if you're really adventurous do the 6+ hour one.

I'd love to go back and do an overnight tour.
