  1. How much fuel can this thing burn under full load?
  2. So this is why everyone ignored me...I thought it was because I was a grumpy old guy
  3. The reason I started this post because @Further made the comment that he was amazed at the heavy manufacturing that is in my little corner of the world. When I was driving past Bucyrus now Caterpillar I started thinking. Some of the largest equipment in the world for the mining industry comes out of Wisconsin. The heavy duty trucks for the military is pumped out of a factory that's 45 miles from my house. I was interested in what industry is in your area, what are they known to produce. I worked for a company that only supplied about 15% of the mattress industry but we would make, assemble and ship 5 or 6,000 mattress a day....that works out to be around 1,700,000 springs a day.
  4. This bad boy is built by the Manitowoc crane company 23 miles north of me
  5. @Further got me wondering. Yesterday I was driving past Bucyrus (now Caterpillar) in Milwaukee and I was always amazed on what they manufactured and the Komatsu mining Corporation. They build some of the largest mining equipment in the world. My son did a internship at Ladish forging where they have the world's largest counterblow hammers in the world. You can be sitting a the tavern and feel the hammer working. Then you stop and think....the hammer is over a quarter mile away. https://www.tmj4.com/news/milwaukee-tonight/exploring-one-of-the-worlds-largest-counterblow-hammers-the-85-hammer-in-cudahy What really cool and amazing things built in your area.
  6. Why not regular Coke and spiced rum?
  7. She was not impressed
  8. I'm wondering if the carpet matches the drapes in color and length
  9. I walked past the bathtub factory this morning on my walk. Yesterday I walked past the toilet seat factory.
  10. If you really think about this it kinda sad. 7 of the city's are within one hour drive from my house
  11. In Wisconsin it would be just a normal day
  12. I look at this a lot more than I look at the sun
  13. Wasn't planning on it
  14. I have a Whirlpool tub. After a 3 hour motorcycle race or a high speed get off I enjoy a good soaking
  15. The last time I was in Florida I saw a few Cougars
  16. No Wo46 has it on the TV in the other room but nether one of us are really paying attention.
  17. I'll be at home I have several welding helmets It's not the first one I've ever seen
  18. More west then north. Bun E Carlos & the Monday night band are regulars at Mary's place in Rockford
  19. Her workout routine will be the same. She mentioned it a few times that some tracks are difficult for her because how quick she has to transfer.
  20. I know she likes racing Blackhawk Farms and Barber motorsports park. I'm OK if she doesn't want to do all the because we have several backup monkeys. I'm not worried about tossing my son off under heavy braking but with the extra weight he upsets the rig by moving around.....and I like someone a little prettier
