Well I for one am a workin' dog. Dan and Dan and George are off on their vacation in Wisconsin, but when I woke up this morning at 5am, I knew there was work to be done at the shop, I ate my kibbles, and to the shop I went..
Princess Morwen and Flash were sleeping (as usual) when I arrived at the windmill shop, but I didn't really care. There was work to be done.
It was a chilly morning, so of course the first thing to do was to get a fire going. Damn... Y'alls may thing loading a stove is easy, but try it with paws and a snout...
And I had to put on a record. Not that it's needed... us workin' dogs don't need no stinkin' music, but the other dogs seem to like it.
Morwen the borzoi thought about getting up at that time... but... she didn't. Lazy lazy lazy.
I had to get some measuremnets from Dan's large windmill in order to get angles for the furling mekanism for the turbine that I'm building to power my sisters new 'dog house'
I had to do some milling in order to get the parts to line up just right... no biggie doing that.. but this shop sure would benefit from some stools.
Flash did prove himself to be a good watchdog. What the hell he was 'watching' is beyond me, but he watched it real good...
I thought the airbrake system on Scott's new/old Wincharger was interesting, and I considered something similar... but...
The simplicity of the furling system on Rich's new genrator looks much more attractive.
So, back to the shop. Had to do some lathe work. I sure wish someone would get some stools!
I took a break from metal work in order to start on the stator. This coil didn't look right, so I just tossed it about for fun. Workin' dogs have to have some fun too, you know.
My annoying adoptive little sister Koko. Whenever I'm working, she just whines and runs around in circles. Sometimes I just have bite her. Can't help it. I can't wait until her new dog house is done so she can move out!
Back to metal work. Damn this shop could sure use some stools!
Kodi sure has it good! In anticipation of his absence, DanF hired two full time caretakers for her while he's away. Kodi took a very relaxing day off...
There was some welding to be done... so I had to fire up the FuKing generator.
This must be a lot easier with thumbs...
Morwen and Flash continued with their pre-planned day of sleep.
Ah... finally. The perfect coil.
Digo... geez. Took the day off to play golf. Play play play, and nothin' but a lot of it.
OK...I'll admit. I took a little time to play golf too...
Near the golf course, we found another workin' dog... Captain spent the day busily clearing trees to make room for Rich's new windmill. A most impressive effort on his part.
After the golfing break, I got started on carving blades. Teeth aren't the best tool for the job, but it's about all I've got... Damn that freaky little sister Koko running in circles again.
After their long, hard day of napping, Flash was ready for a beer. Damn this shop could sure use some stools!
I tried to make some pizza, but the other dogs ate all the toppings and cheese before I could even get the chance to finish the crust. Oh well... what can you do. Some dogs just got no self control... I'll admit to have enjoyed some of the kibble topping myself...
