We typically cycle 3-4 of them per month through the TV station for scrap cable going out to the recycler and such. |

Generic wheel hub assembly i bought from rock auto. Middle of the road price wise. Seems pretty baller for a G6 part. https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...c02055daba.jpg |

Joe Perez,
Story about thief losing job because thief makes me happy. I put thieves right up there with rapists, bosses of government employee unions, self-proclaimed "community organizers", and international drug cartels. Few things make me as giddy as seeing a thief get swift and unexpected justice. Re: Gaylords - I looked into folding plastic gaylords when trying to decide how best to purchase and transport bulk shelled corn. I eventually settled on bulk bags. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...2df60aa3dd.jpg Don't mind Marshall, he's just hanging out. |

I've had people in my sphere of influence who got laid off because of the natural ebb and flow of programming, but this is the first time I have had to actively have someone fired for cause. I honestly thought it would feel worse than it did. And, to be honest, I was far more angry that he'd been stealing food and utensils from the janitor's little lunch area in the corner of the basement. I have the ability to solve missing drill bits in about a minute with the McMaster Carr account. But you don't steal the janitor's personal stuff. That pissed me off more than if Mr. Thief had walked out that door with my drill press. (Well, not walked, per se. He'd have likely been injured trying to get it up the stairs. That's an old-school drill press made with castings that make me think that iron was on sale at the time it was designed.)

The ones I have at the station at present: https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...8f94eeed92.png https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...558f54dfe8.png They're great when you have moderate amounts of construction / demolition debris to deal with, as you don't have to cart them out to a dumpster individually. You just call the rubbish or recycling company when they're nearly full, and they send out a box truck with empty ones, which you swap out with the full ones using the forklift. |

Here is the TED talk I spoke about with some of us at MATG. Gist... technology is responsible for most of the advancements in sports, as opposed to the assumed advancements in training and nutrition. Of course, drugs always help as well.

Even better if you can use it at work for a while still. Fancy people dislike you making money off their garbage for some reason :confused: |
