I have a cousin, whos more like an uncle.
Hes an agricultural engineer.
If I had it to do over, thats probably what I wouldve done.
He did parks, lakes, etc.
Always out stomping around in the bushes surveying and planning places.
He did all the engineering for Sandy Creek Park, lake, and nature center near Athens. Other places too.
Hes retired at 82, but still does some survey work from time to time.

My dad is civil, mom is actually a civil engineer too but she doesn't do it anymore. My grandfather was a mining engineer but he wound up doing mechanical. He worked for a millwright company that made replacement parts for machinery in the steel mills. At the time, most of the hot strip mills in the US were made by Mesta Machinery until the Japanese more or less built a better, cheaper mousetrap and ran them out of business. Most of Mesta's mills were custom-built for the plants they were put into and when Mesta went out of business, replacement parts became NLA so his company would re-engineer and manufacture one-off replacement parts to service them. I believe a lot of Mesta equipment is still in use to this day.

I always thought that was a cool job.

Good for him!
Plenty of grown men these days that couldn't figure out how to put that together.
You spelled man-babies wrong.

Mornin' crew. I ran a piped Wild Thing yesterday, and watched a Lewis Winch winch. Followed it all up with some tube steak. Just your average MI GTG.

Morning all. Yes, even to you @dall

Headed to church and then to celebrate my 11 yr old sons birthday. Then I'm going to see if I can break Dallas's bull rope while pulling a few logs I'm having milled for my hay barn.

Oh, then I have to make time to resurrect a TTR50 that's been sitting for 5 years.

Or just plain bìtches.
I remember the first time the sales guys were showing off the new tailgates where you can push a button on the fob and it opens.
I asked if that was so they wouldn't have to set their purses down.

Good morning Sunday, and you guys too. Sounds like everyone has some chit to do. I am going to try and finish the 695 today. Rings too wide and proud of the piston. Going to grind the ID to see if I can gain .007". Seems the piston supplier goofed. Not going to complain as I have had them for 6 months before I got around to noticing. The rings seem to be made of unobtainium from the oem. The cylinder cleaned up nice, thank Randy for the videos. @Mastermind

I have a fanny pack and still push the button.

Mornin’ duallies and foolies…42 to 62.

Always knew Timmy Grizzles and tube steak belonged in the same sentence…and like Paul Harvey, now you have the rest of the story.
If I don't occasionally tee one up for you Junebug, how will the blind squirrel ever find the nut?
