Yesterday, I 'made' 5 instrument information sheets, which are as boring as they sound. (They essentially list the calibration information for new instruments being installed in the plant.) These particular ones are for instrument air, service air, and hydrogen piping systems that are being re-located since they are interferences for the new 13.8kv feed pumps.

I made my Suburban drive better with a new steering damper, and I made the trailer light connector work with a new ground wire.

Berkin' A, I've centerless ground the hinge pins for the dump bed and the pins for the hydraulic rams to lift said bed. 8)
And I worked on the redesign of the hydraulic system for the wheel loaders that put stuff in those trucks.
I helped build the wheel-loader. Actually, Im in logistics, but I go on the floor and put some bolts in with some buddies when I get bored. We build the smaller version of that.
I work on 3516 engines like the wheel loaders have, only stationary and converted to natural gas.
I work on the hydraulics of the large mining trucks. I routed some fluid lines today

I worked to Engineer fluid filters to go into those pieces of equipment today

I put the finishing touches on a pair of "Overnight Sensations" which is a very small 2-way loudspeaker system from Parts Express. Got them for the #1 son for his 9th birthday. He gets the speakers but I had (almost) all the fun putting them together. They look and sound great. The quality of the knock-down cabinets impressed me.

Here's a pic:

I made a 12 year old commercial treadmill with a flawed design work right for the first time in years. Stupid design involved a ground jumper connecting the 2 circuit boards that connected to the two boards with a slide on clip an a jumper wire. Really? An electrical connection on a device that spends its day with fat people jumping on it 100x a minute is relying on a slide on clip? I drilled holes in the boards, redid the jumper spade connectors with ring terminals, and used itty bitty bolts to hold them on. Fat people don't scare me no more!

I made a 1986 Shadow run for my brother in law. Then I made my lower back and hip flexors hurt by riding said bike 45 minutes on the highway. Lord, those things are uncomfortable.
