Yes a few Tbs of soda in about qt. of water. This's per Shine, he must have typed the damn thing w/all caps. My add-in about the grits makes me wonder. Prolly only way he knows to make it bigger. :Smack:

Buster is that cane mill set up in a park of some sort? Is that where they shot the tv show?

busterb · 11-05-2006, 08:30 PM

It's on Mike's land. beside st. hwy 531. He just built the shed last month. Yes tv was shot there.
BTW I got 2 dvd's of shows, 1 is the one from CMT. Others I've not seen. Tried to make one of them, but not smart enough. Will mail ya copies soon.

Thank you!

Off to VA, again. Monday I have a pre-flight check-up for a little lower end mining training day. A Colonoscopy on the 29th. The cat-scan a few months back, showed nothing bad, so that's why I think this is for training.

busterb · 07-09-2007, 07:57 PM

Bet I copy this sob this time before I hit some damn key that wipes it all away.
Anyway I posted before about buying a motor cycle and making a road trip so folks could collect 50k bucks. Well screw them.
I'm thinking about a trip to finish my around the world quest. Only like from Tehran to Singapore.
I'm thinking 4 or 5 days down under, if folks here will guide me. Thanks no opera house in Sidney. I'd like something outback, Maybe a station for a few days. Then on to Indonesia, Singapore or Bangkok.
Then to what was Rangoon, New Delia. Moscow or St. Petersburg? Then not a clue. Maybe Frankfort. London or Amsterdam and home.
All this is depends on a talk I need to have with my attorney.
So comments please. bb

Awesome idea Buster!!!

I'd be happy to help with the outback experience....not one of those yuppie ones either.

busterb · 08-12-2007, 03:28 PM

Hot nuf fer ya? Today, last time I looked was 102.2.
I remember welding in So. La. one 4th of July when it was over 100 and humidity was 100. When you got back to motel at night your shirt was white from the salt. That was before salt was bad for you.

I also remember working at a tomato plant in S. Dos Banos, Ca. one year when the temps were 112 and we worked 12 and 14 hours a day. of course that was a dry heat.
Aw shucks to be young again.

Clodfobble · 08-12-2007, 03:49 PM

Yeah, we just broke 100 for the first time this summer. Our average temp for July was a chilly 90, because of the record-breaking amount of rain. Did you get the crazy rain in Mississippi too, buster?

busterb · 09-14-2007, 06:48 PM

I wish I was smart enough to get my head, fingers and other shit together.

This is about wire rope or cables, which ever you prefer. I thought of this while my rabbit ass brain was flopping around. I saw a 3” cable break, part while on a lay barge.
Which I’ll, one day return to.

So. Once I was a super for contractor from Venice, LA. And we had a bid job for Chevron oil offshore Bayou Fourchon, LA. Safety is the key word here. My rigger foreman and I had to go to a crane school put on by Linkbelt, in a portable class room.
In the flappin marsh.

So we learned all about cables and crane usage. Link, because I don’t have a clue about inserting in word. http://www.webriggingsupply.com/page...ope-about.html

Then when we got on job there was a stiff-leg homemade thing that had an air winch and a deal like you boat owner use to pull the boat on trailer to let the boom up and down. The swing was a rope that you pulled to move the sob.
Of course the air supply was gas, so when we stopped that had to hook up air.
Life is great.

BTW Google maps shows that hwy 23 ends at Pointe a la hache and hwy 1 south of cut off, LA. Maybe my, hope, road trip will see if the hwys are really gone??

xoxoxoBruce · 09-14-2007, 07:12 PM

This kind of "stiff leg"?

Quote:

A stiff-leg crane for use in handling loads in the erection of buildings and the like, including a base rotatable 360.degree. on a bearing, a vertical mast rigidly mounted at a lower end at the center of rotation of the base, a boom pivoted at a foot end along one end of the base, boom support and load handling lines from the top of the mast to the boom, a pair of adjustable lay leg mast braces for boom and mast support from either the crane base or the structure being erected by the crane, and means for securing the lower free ends of the lay legs to either the base or the structure being erected. The lay legs are adjustable both in length and the angle between the lay legs and the mast. Additionally the lay legs are fully rotatable 360.degree. about the mast and may swing between the mast and the boom for relocation from one side of the mast to the other without interference with the boom or the boom support and load handling lines. The lay legs are securable to the crane base for jumping the crane and when handling loads close to the crane base. Sills are connectible between the crane base and the lower free ends of the lay legs when structural rigidity requires.

busterb · 09-14-2007, 09:20 PM

1 mast, 1 boom and that's all folks. But I did learn a little at the class.
Left lay, right lay,etc. other useful things in my trade. But no crap the rigging of cranes is an art. It's called reeving the blocks. All the lines you see on TV running to the load block has to be just so or the lines will twist and screw the game.

xoxoxoBruce · 09-14-2007, 09:56 PM

What were you using the stiff leg for, moving pipe sections?

busterb · 09-14-2007, 09:59 PM

Unloading our equipment from supply boats to platform, rig.
