last night was night #2 on the wagon, did not sleep any better.

I'm actually going on about 3 weeks, except for 1 night last week. Can confirm that I am not sleeping any better, though I do feel better so I can't really explain that. Magnets?

Utahites, is porcupine rim ridable in the middle of March?

The lower part of the trail often is, and often isn't. Consult with the local shops a day or two before you want to go.

That's a solid rig. I still haven't bought myself one, but that one is always top of my list and I can get parts local.

Got a pile of welding to do on the new trailer, so this should come in handy. Gotta figure out how to MIG, I’ve only done stick, oxyacetylene brazing, and a wee bit o TIG. Can’t be too hard right?

If I can figure it out, anybody can.

Start with some flux core and mess some stuff up. You can do some really nice welds with the gas, but I know a lot of guys doing damn nice work with flux core, just more clean up from splatter. My Harbor Freight auto dark helmet was cheap and works like a champ. I think I got it for $35 on sale or with a coupon or something.

If I could only tig like Nate Porter.

Do a bunch of test welds on similar sized plate. Stick it in a vice, beat it with a hammer or whatever and make sure it is up to snuff. The first few welds I thought were good were shit. Once I thought I got to a point where everything looked good and seemed strong I made an alternator bracket for my Volvo, which fatigued and broke three weeks later.

Ha! after today's work day I'm ready to reset. But, I won't. Ugh. I just want to sleep.

How was skiing the rest of the day?

 

[rideit]

Anyone need a near minty three process welder? I have only used it for tig.

 

[eric strt6]

ahh that was good. I did 30 minutes of intervals on the elliptical 3 minutes with the incline at 6 then 3 minutes at 18 repeated for 30 minutes and then i went outside and ran for another 30 minutes. quite the sweat going

Pulled the chute around 2:30 so I could GTFO without getting screwed in DEN traffic. Did a bunch of runs down in the creek, north/south chutes area. Probably best snow of the day, but I was pretty well baked at that point.
