mornin' y'all
Waiting for Isaias. My sister in Charleston reports that it's starting to kick up there.
we're supposed to get some scattered rain starting this afternoon, and get steady this evening.
I had every intention of blowing off my swim and sleeping in this morning, but the alarm went off and Wife made me get up and go. I had a good swim, so I begrudgingly thank her for that.
Yep, that hurricane has a bead on us. Up to 4" of much needed rain, so bring it.

Last week of funemployment and it's starting to look like I'm going to have a pretty hard time getting out for a ride.
Hey!
The dude who coordinates training at work is such a snitch. He'll assign you a training module, and the very next day send out the delinquent training report to the leadership team with your name in the less than 30 days left to complete training column. WTF bro, why you gotta do me like that?

Meh. Friend tested + for the RONA. I’m really glad the wife and me have been SD
Send a reply to all the original assigned yesterday email...asking how can it be delinquent if you just assigned it?
Transitioned from raging midnight boners to a cracked coffee pot ontop of the stove. No idea how these things happen - boners while asleep or cracked Black and Decker replacement coffee pots. 
It was left unwashed after using it yesterday morning and I find it like this. There's a place on the corner I can go to in the meantime.

Another week of sending out resume + cover letters ahead. Awaiting message from a recruiter I spoke with last week whether they fancy interviewing me or not. Having just four months in previous job spooks people out.

If they have any sense of reason and compassion, it really should not be that hard to comprehend how someone could lose a job in the midst of a global pandemic that has triggered an economic depression. But what do I know.
I’d actively address that so you can control the narrative.
Got 99% or so of our shop stuff moved from the old space into the new space. Still a few things left to go through, then we’ll need to sell off the palette racks and some odds and ends from the old shop we aren’t gonna use in the new shop. It was a pile of work, but having a (rented) forklift in each location made it a bit easier.
One of these days I’ll get some proper pictures for the Workshops thread. We might also knock out a new shop tour video for the website.

I have an embarrassing number of t-shirts with collars that look like that...
Very happy to report that I got offered the job I competed for, managing ITER's beryllium risk through final assembly. Will have 6 direct reports eventually. Will work in Yurp for 5 - 7 more years, then retire in Spain or Portugal unless multiple grandchildren occur. Quite glad the wait is over. 
Working out with a 20 something trainer/pre-Hab who has never broken ribs before was very painful.
that is all.
that is all.
Me too. And my wife is forever trying to pitch them. I tell here they are essential...
BASTARDO!!
Now shall we call you Major General Angus?Very happy to report that I got offered the job I competed for, managing ITER's beryllium risk through final assembly. Will have 6 direct reports eventually.

That was there?! So it was. Nice.
No coffee in the end. Hopefully Corn on the Cob I brought for dinner makes up for it.

Came across it when looking for hardware kits for my frame, assuming it can be fixed.

A frameset in top condition is absolutely key to overall performance; and over time it may be necessary to replace some of the older parts on your frame to newe

that's the only place i've seen to source them so far. to get what i need would be at least $400 before accounting for shipping from the UK (chainstays plus the thru axle hanger kit). considering i only paid $600 for the frame, i dont have the interest in spending that much.Hey @jonKranked ....this place have the stays you're looking for?

Morningish Monkeys.
Today is my unofficial official start date as an employee and just had my first test team meeting. The boss has said he expects me to run it and within 3 months take it over. I like this idea because once I get shit rolling for this project, then we roll out the quality processes across platforms. I've been working towards this my entire life. I know I was the only one in the meeting that was excited, but this is the shit I do.

I used to transport an ex Navy Machinist that had Lung Cancer from Berylium poisoning. He had a really rough last few years. No thanks.
I learned about the material when working at the MIT Instrumentation/Draper Labs.
Has no one noticed my pandemic avatar ? Worked really hard on it for like three minutes, geez.
Do you remember that MTB frame that was made of of it back in the 90s ? Wasn’t it something like $30k or $40k ?
isn't that like what, 3 weeks old already?
Some race car teams started using beryllium brake rotors before it was banned.
