Milwaukee horizontal milling machine by Kearney & Trecker. Once upon a time long, time ago, I had a similar machine. It was way too large for my operation in my two-car garage, so I sent it down the road and got myself a Bridgeport. However, I kept the milling attachment that mounts on one of the large round bars thinking I could use it somehow at a later date.
Some 40 years later, Surly asked what I was planning on doing with it, so it became his just seconds later. Anyway, I think he's going to send it on a little trip and it needs to be crated up for shipment. He came down yesterday to see if the thing actually worked and to see what it would take to prepare a shipping crate. Since the temperature was only about 20 and the wind was blowing about the same, we didn't spend much time out there. We did discuss a few things I'm going to need some help with in the future. As much as I dislike asking for help, I'm going to have to face the fact I just can't do everything by myself like I use to.
Coach Jen filled in for a friend of hers yesterday at the rec center teaching a ladies fitness class. I met up with her after the class was over and we walked for a bit, then did breakfast. We talked a bit of boxing stuff, but right now there's nothing lined up for the two of us together, nor anything in the foreseeable future. Not a problem - lots of other things to do and I don't care to travel too much when you never know what the weather's going to be around here.
Speaking of which, forecast is calling for single digits tomorrow.
