This is my ride for tonight. What are you doing this weekend, Oppo?

I’m still awake here on the east coast, but only for these final few laps of the F1 race.

It's over now. Mercedes finished 1-2, but it was Bottas out in front by about 22 seconds over Hamilton.

honestly? F1 feels boring.

That's fair. I don't watch it much but it was the first race of the season and I was awake anyway.

Your ride looks a little like the nuclear reactor I used to operate.
Earlier: spending five dumb hours rotating two wheels.
Now:
Civ with friends

Just finished my first nightshift back at work about an hour ago.
Going to catch up with anything on here, Youtube and TV for a couple of hours or so.

Practicing programming.
Going to buy yet another new hose for the Volvo as the h ose from the brake booster to the IM damn near split in two due to age & wear. That should help the spotty braking and idling.

speaking of brakes, I should probably prepare to get the Queen's brakes serviced soon. It doesn't feel as snappy as it used to.

I like the user friendliness of the interface over the others so far. Mori Seiki comes in second.

Unfortunately, they’re still the early 2000’s Hyundai of CNC machines.

I know. Matsuura 5 axis is where it’s at. We have 5 axis functionality on our Haas, but they’re not for large items.
We make medical instruments, not aerospace parts.
As I like to say, I prefer a job where I help put people back together, than to be part of something that can undergo rapid unscheduled disassembly.
(Ergo, 737 Max 8/9...)

Got called last night for a power outage. Watched my network as the electricians showed up for everything to return to normal. Then an hour ago got called again for something else going offline. Usually I can fix these things remotely but this one requires a drive in (likely a blown fuse or tripped breaker) - gives me an excuse to pick up some breakfast though right?

Absolutely, on the helping people point. P lus, there’s definitely something I find rewarding about actually making something.

I’m just dreading going back to work after a week off, having discussions with my wife about why we shouldn’t buy a business and also prepping for interview at my current work. But I think I’m going through a bit of an early mid-life crisis of some sort
