This guy only uses the best steels made from old files and scrap wheelbarrows

Not a productive day at all....

Did get to drive the Veloster Turbo...will have to dig into savings/break budget for that one.

Hopefully will get to drive the Fiesta ST next weekend.  The only two dealers that I have found to have them in stock have already sold them.  The one we are hoping to drive is suppose to arrive late this coming week.

B is starting to realize a budget (non turbo) car isn't something he is going to be able to live with.

Anyone have any big plans for tomorrow?

I'm surprised that a good percentage of the steel plate we get at work is melted scrap and rerolled.

Same thing we do everyday, Pinky...

I have a house guest for about a week.



Not getting as much slave labor productivity out of this one.
It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.

Not just plate....bar stock too

And I wasn't kidding about the files sticking out of plate, I've seen it.

One particular mill we buy from is based out of Sweden. 

All of the Swedish steel is from virgin ore.

They purchased a mill down near Birmingham, AL a few years ago to be able to keep up with the North and South American demand.  All of the steel rolled at this mill is from scrap.

Both us and our customers have noticed the American steel is not the same quality as the Swedish stuff.  I guessing it may have something to with being recycled. 


It seems everyone has great plans for tomorrow.   [thumbsup]

I think reusing steel is better than reusing toilet paper.

Gus is a good boy.

His owner had knee surgery last week, and has issues with walking him during recovery.
