Things have been pretty damn dicey of late, especially around the markets. This last weekend was stressful enough that I just didn't have the energy to try and post something...Sorry!
News of note, things have been progressing in my Machine class. I have mostly been working on lathes, as our first project is 90% lathe work. It's been about equal in the frustrating and fascinating departments...many machines seem to be pretty rough around the edges and aren't very precise anymore which makes it challenging when your drilling to a specific depth and you have to rely on the machine to tell you how far you've gone. But I managed to finish all of the lathe work for that project last night, and I got to start on the next project which is all mill work.
I like the mills already. Not certain why yet, but maybe I just like how they work.
In related news, I have decided to drop my other machine class, the blueprints and math one. Not because it's difficult in the slightest, but because I am not getting anything at all of value out of the class. If I am going to sit in that decrepit room for 2 hours, I want to learn something damnit! The teacher can't teach, but seems to be making certain that everyone is going to pass the class.
So, yeah.
Fuck that.
I am going to try and have another post ready for Monday ahead of time, so look for another then!
