Welding in the Gloaming

 


It was a great evening for welding yesterday. It started getting a little cool when the sun went down, but my student was doing well with the 7018 electrodes. 

Yesterday was an anniversary of sorts. My buddy Kevin sent me an email asking me if I remember what we did 20 years prior. Of course I had no idea. I've never been one to remember the dates of any event of my life other than my anniversary and a few birthdays. I can remember the events but since it happened in the past, I never bother trying to remember exactly when. Anyway, the event was Kevin and I running the Detroit Half Marathon. We ran into Canada over the Ambassador Bridge and back into Detroit through the tunnel. All of the runners had an underwater mile split time. Mine was 11:11, and we finished on the 50-yard line of Ford Field. It was a great weekend for both of us, but even better for Kevin. I dropped him off on the way home to meet up with a friend of his to go to the White Sox play-off game that got them into the World Series. 

Ham radio antenna scheduled for installation this morning.
