minermark Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Morning Gang Looking around the backyard, touchy/feely, Upol has worked well. Will just let the McMs set for a day, good day in the heat will offgas the finish. Day of rest, as well as the weekend. 80s low 90 i like just fine. Next week we get a neighborhood trash P/U where you can stack anything you wish in the gutter and the county cleans it up. Wife and i will attack the entire front yard, gutting flowerbed(s), and basicly stripping out everything dead. Out of Guinness Blond, HaggenDaz, Duggans and energy, well my Friday is starting off just Peachy. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JL Sargent Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Ahh, good old 7018, my personal Fav is 6011 I use 6011 at work but really prefer 6010 because it has even more BITE. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JL Sargent Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 7018 is good for properly prepared steel and rods are kept in a oven, etc. 60 series good for down and dirty, through the paint or rust with wet welding rod kind of welding. That stuff I do all the time LOL. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humm, was not aware of this, it's been a few years since iv had the need to weld anything, you know how it is, you get spoiled on a Rod type and use no other. Better buy a case of spool wire, could be a long winter. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JEFKlipsch Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Thank you JL They are truly wonderful people. I was blessed with both. He has raised me since I was 3...and have never thought of him as anything but my father (my real father passed when I was very young). If you are familiar with Brad Paisleys song Man He Didn't Have To Be....I've always felt that it was written about him...truly an amazing Husband, Father and Best Friend. And honestly one of the most talented people I've ever know....I feel like there is nothing he cannot do/make/build/fix/teach....I am the man I am today because of him. And my wife Susan...Pioneer Woman is all that comes to mind....we grew up together from the age of 5...dated on and off through Jr/Sr High School. Both got divorced around the same time and both moved back to our hometown where we ran back into each other...and this is where we find ourselves now 6 years later. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
