No worries! Just thought I'd ask. I have not liked MB in years. I guess the rents living in Florida did have one advantage.
Weekend is over...what did you get done?

Agreed. Ocean Isle is a good beach too. About a 30-40 minute drive to MB if you want to go out for the night and it's not near as crowded as MB either.

I like Surfside, my dad had a house at Salters Cove for years but we sold it when he passed away.
The problem is the whole grand strand has gone down hill since the 80's when I first started coming here.

We fished the jettys early as its too rough to go out to 5 mile reef. I hooked a nice 20" spanish and lost it at the boat. We headed back in and fished the brackish water for red drum on the NC side, right behind Sunset Beach. We ended up hooking into a dozen or so reds and put 6 on the boat. We kept 2 that were legal size
Heading out through the Little River Inlet
My son with one of his 3 reds
We might come back in the fall when the big drum are running.

Dealing with busted ass machines that the company doesn't want to spend the money to fix.
I run a lathe with a crack in the saddle big enough to stick my thumb in. Obviously, Its difficult to hold any kind of tolerance. Much less .0002"
The mill that I run has a rotary table on it with 2 fixtures. The table is 3 foot wide and 1 foot deep. From left to right the table has .022" of run out and .008" from front to back. This is due to a trainee starting the program in the wrong spot and ran the spindle into the top of the part on 100% rapid. Broke the part in half. There is not one reason I should have to put .012" of shim under my fixtures to run a flat part...
If they would stop using my two machines to train new hires we wouldn't have this problem. Those two machines have been crashed HARD several times in the past month on 1st shift.
Seems to me that spending the money wouldn't be an issue if they were worried about their employees and their customers.

Are these the Mori Sieki's you run? I've been training on a couple(not sure on the model) and they aren't too bad. Waiting on a custom one piece mat to come in that goes between the two. The guy on second has a bunch of mismatched mats over there that are different thicknesses and the safety department spent 3000 for this custom mat, just for me!
The guy hates the fact that they moved me over there. I'm not some idiot, i can run a machine pretty damn well!

Ahh the joys of running ANY kind of machine. I ran into similar problems with machine malfunctions and whatnot when I was a machine operator a few years ago. The 3rd shift guy some how managed to screw up a very simple injection molding machine and leave the mess for me on 1st shift.

Yeah, SV-503 Mill and SL-203 Lathe. Same here. We have 2 piece mats but they're really thick and I can't stand them!

Here's my junk. We have 3 different cells setup just like this. This one is the biggest pain. and of course It's the one that I run and the one that everyone gets trained on when they're on first.
Look similar?

Thank you Rubicon Express for your crappy bushings!!!
3 Years I daily drove and wheeled on this. For the first time since then, I now have quiet leaf springs!
