Making Boobs again

This is the stuffing that I make for THE boobs.

A handful of the "special" stuffing in each boob

 Pan filled and ready for oven

 Covered and in convection oven for 45 min at 425

Yummy!

A few years ago my father in law, Ronald Jarosch, had van problems and it was discovered that his Pontiac transport had a hole in the trans-axle  big enough to put your hand in.  I had 2 Doge mini vans and I gave him the nicer one.

A couple years have passed and the van is starting to show its age. (i had it on the hoist to fix a power steering leak and started thinking about a replacement for dad right then)

One morning I came to work and discovered that van 41 took a deer hit and was totaled out.  (damaged exceeded the value of vehicle)  But I looked at the damage and figured that this is something I wanted to fix.

I have exceeded my budget by about 1500.00 and still have to buy a clock-spring and paint.  Today was the big push.  Winter is coming and projects have to be out of garage for company vehicles for the winter.  So van and trailer are coming home.

I was going to post descriptions to each picture but would be time consuming and most you can see what was done.

Again this was something I might not of tried if I did not have the help of Mr. Thomas Woodman's help and advice.

Just got home from my normal Tuesday night work load.  Had a wonderful supper with Christina and helped Todd get his medical forms filled out for his doctor visit in the morning.  I called the answering service and verified with them that I was on call tonight and was in bed by 2230.  An hour later I am at PDM Bridge.  Guess I will hang here at Sacred Heart and wait for William.

A few years ago I worked for Eby-Brown stocking the picking line and as a back up driver.  Now many things had happened in our world, and on of them was the attack on the world trade center in New York.  The day that I had the unfortunate "adventure" came a year or so after 9/11 but we were at an "orange alert level".

That wall is done except for sanding tomorrow.

Some of the Computers and things....

This post will mostly be pictures.  I hope to show some of the computer things I have done over the years.

This is a front picture of my file server that I built to hold all the digital memories and videos that we made over the years.

These are pictures of a Sony Vaio laptop with a bad power connector.  the pictures show it being taken apart and the board bing fixed and reassembly and finally... TAADAAAA it works!!! boy was I amazed!

I had a bunch of OKI data printers to recycle.  But I knew that the parts in some of these printers were hard to find and a company that I had done work for still uses these all across Wisconsin.  I gave them a call and they sent a truck the next day.  

A custom system I built for my wife.  Silver-Blue over White epoxy.  Case never scratched or faded.

One of the more interesting builds.  This is a completely functioning M2 R/C tank With An AMD server inside.

if you don't believe me.  I have more pictures and it can be seen at it home here in town.

 An old Compaq Server that I rescued from the crusher


 All the parts laid out on the bench,  I am looking for a few of the missing things

There she is all fired up and modified.

 One day, every computer that came in was a Dell.

Morticia, was another one of those ideas that never should of happened.

too much money was spent and the advertising for Halloween didn't work as planned.

An idea I had that didn't turn out so good.

(go ahead and rub my nose in it Tom) 

another case I was building that was going to have so much storage in it it will need a second power supply and many fans to keep the  hard drives cool.

There are more but who really wants to look at computer pictures
