The big hole is on the outside of his right wrist. Minimal blood loss thank God and they got him stitched up tight. He thinks he's ok but we'll see what the doc has to say on Monday. I think cat-burglary is off the career list for him.
I've gotta round up all the scheckles I've got and see where I stand when it comes to paint. I should be close. I'll need more surfacer and ticky-tack stuff to finish the rest of these panels too. I wanna get the cab painted so I can get it out of there and covered. That'll give me the room to spray all the other stuff.
For work.. I'm an automation engineer. My education is in industrial hydraulics but for the last 15 years I've done mostly control systems (PLC / SCADA programming). Spent the bulk of that time working for a sawmill equipment manufacturer but I was traveled to death all over the world. Where I work now the travel is minimal and I work on all kinds of different equipment and processes (water treatement, mining, cement mixing, packaging.... you name it). My next project however is back into a sawmill!! Planer mill actually. It was built in 1977 and the controls are mostly manual and in bad shape. Most panels you open look like bird nests. I'm designing an new central control panel and a couple operator's panels with touch screens. I'll write software to automate the whole thing then head down there to do a change over to the new.
Here's a link to some videos of the sawmill equipment I built.... The plywood stacker was the last one I did.
