Had to change the oil and a few more maintenance things on the wife’s Suburban, so the ‘55 got moved out temporarily.

I had a tank rust through, and it just started leaking finally. I don’t really understand how one could catastrophically “blow”, but I’m no scientist.

Personally, I’m a cheap azz, and think 98% of new stuff is garbage.
I’d look into rebuilding that DeVilbiss in a heartbeat. It’s not hard to rebuild a compressor.

I work public works/maintenance now for a small town of 500. Sometimes I’ve found I have to wear a lot of hats. Like today I get a call that there is a pit bull on someone’s front porch. The town cop...

I got all my Starrett micrometers off of eBay used. I don’t think I ever paid more than $10 each. I took my time and waited for a “Buy it Now” to be listed by someone who knows nothing about tools.

I remember as a kid we had a dumb dog and have no memory of where we got him. Kind of a terrier looking thing.

“Analog” micrometers are probably like driving a manual transmission for those young machinists. I also got most of mine off of eBay for surprisingly great prices.

Tonight’s show

Seems every time the northern lights show up, it’s in the middle of the night, or I’m busy.
Not tonight! Pretty much all around me, except straight to the south.

My son’s neighborhood in Deland is at a high point in his area, so water wasn’t a concern. He said except for a few branches down everything’s OK.
