Stupid stuff you see at work...

The 9" grinder didn't work when I plugged it in . I turned the cord a bit that it would run and held it in place because I was in a hurry, the cord blew up in my hand .

You can see the split in the cord and soot on my hand.

Logged in to the CAT service tool today for the first time in a long time, a tool that is downloaded and installed, I wasn't aware it was "updating" from the web and got this message...

If the software doesn't need the internet for content edit the hosts file so that whatever domain it tries to hit is directed somewhere nonsensical (usually 127.0.0.1)

the slapper brackets got grooves worn in them?

Y'all got the funniest names for shit.

You are the reason safety exists in the workplace.

Honestly I'm impressed Chewy has got a guard on there.

Good tip but I'm not touching any of that stuff for work, but IF I ever roll my own I'm paying attention...

One of the more glamorous parts of my job, and today's entry in "pictures that you can smell"

So much stink for such a small critter. And right after lunch too. I didn't plan that one out to good.

I live in a place that's right between meadow and forest and I feel your pain . If the mouse caught in a trap isn't removed within about 3 hours...

 

[Johnny Longrifle]

I dig mice out of blower motors all the time, but Chip here was the worst I've ever dealt with.

 

[speed bump]

On today's episode of let's clean up 120k lbs of scrap we picked the wettest, snowiest day of the year to play in the dirt.

Also for some reason a 336F does not look like 80k lbs.

some of my names for shit straight up deanonymize me
as in type in a made up word of mine and it pops up with me under a few names and one of the commanches under a few names

which really fucking rankles

 

[I HATE PONIES]

Is that a pile of tire chains?

 

[speed bump]

Is that a pile of tire chains?

It's kiln chain that gets strung across the crusher inlet to help prevent rocks from flying back out at you. Here's the new stuff we hung.

Jesus. Fucking. Christ.

 

[CarterKraft]

Jesus. Fucking. Christ.

Sheesh

 

[M92PV4U]

Sheesh

And it ain't the first time. I pointed it out to him and walk by again and it's latched with out the lynch pin.

 

[Penetrode Offroad]

Doesnt have the chains crossed either.

I don't do that. I've had trailers come un hitched with stright chains and nothing worse happened.

Keeps the tongue off the ground. I seen't it work before & I cross trailer chains.

I've seen it save 2 trailers.

 

[Penetrode Offroad]

I dont know shit about fuck but I've heard that you should. I've towed a trailer about 15 times.

If your breakaway is correct it pulls out before the chains are fully tight then the brakes keep tension on the trailer and the tongue elevated.

 

[JR4X]

I cross my chains. Only had to rely on them once but the tongue was hanging in the chains when I got it stopped. No trailer brakes on that one, it was my pickup bed trash trailer

 

[ExWrench]

If your breakaway is correct it pulls out before the chains are fully tight then the brakes keep tension on the trailer and the tongue elevated.

. . . and if your coupler is correct, the breakaway never gets used. Redundant layers of safety are comforting, given that at least one thing can get fucked up.

A couple weeks ago, someone here said, "I'm not superstitious, but I'm a little stitious"

Any trailer we have without brakes have a chain.

It was a fucked up ball couplers. Now everything is a pintle hook so you can visually see if it is connected correctly.

 

[Squamch]

Got a work order today to fix a hole in a ceiling. In the text of it was a note that civilian contractors are working in the space and fixing the hole may effect their job.

They cut the fucking hole. For access to their job.

Huh, I read somewhere recently that it's still possible to fuck those up . . .

I'll get back to you if I remember where I read that

 

[Boss]

I don't do that. I've had trailers come un hitched with stright chains and nothing worse happened.

I can tell you those pinetle hithches can come open on a hard bump without the safety pin. I about shit my pants when I saw my bb 90 KW generator by my drivers door instead of in back, on a Las Vegas freeway. The chains were drug flat too. One broke and one hung on. Ripped 2 tires off that thing. In addition, cleaned out everything under the seat and placed the junk under the peddles.

You definitely can't fix stupid, that is why I checked the connection myself. From 30' away I saw that it wasn't latched correctly.
