Link to these things please

A common use for thermite is for welding on the railroad.
Since the reaction produces heat and molten iron, it can be used for welding.
My friend worked for a railroad company over the summer and they had 50 lb bags of it...

You can light it with a sparkler.

We use Cadweld when we set up the grounding systems for commercial/industrial power systems. I don’t know if it’s thermite but it is an exothermic weld. They are fun to do. You can weld copper to copper or copper to steel (rebar). The end product is pretty bomb proof and can be concrete encased without worrying about corrosion over time degrading the ground path.

I may have to bust these out again. Been 30 years or so....

Day 2 out of 14 days quarantine. So far so good. I am working from home, that didn't changed. The only thing that bothers me is the weather is somewhat semi-decent, but I can't leave our home and property. Such is life I guess.

Snowing hard here in Denver. Already about a MC deep, maybe more, and still dumping about an EDC every couple hours...

Hey Tony, see that the snow didn’t let up, shoot me your address and I’ll bottle up a little warmer weather from the Inland North West. Take care of yourself Sir, forced shop time?

I'm always looking for an excuse to get to the shop!

I'm pretty sure the ones we get back are for grounding on platforms. Usually have that graphite mold with them.

Is there a "what cpk are you carrying today" thread out there? I don't wanna start one if they have one already. I feel like we need a thread like that. There's one for what folder you're carrying but I know some of you like myself carry a fixed blade daily.

Here's hoping you get over it quickly with no issues.

"Frolf" season is back

Me and a friend were playing a course in Columbus years (a couple decades) ago. There were a couple “holes” right along the edge of the river. I could see a couple discs in the water, so I went in after them. Walking to the first one I spotted a few other discs. I told my friend to get out here. After about an hour we had collected 60+ discs. We sold some to other “golfers” and still took home about 20 discs each.

As badly as the forum has been lagging the past few days, this Friday is going to SUCK!

That's awesome, we always loved disc hunting! Now my lazy ass just leaves them after 4 minutes.
Columbus is where I learned about disc golf back in the late 90's. Was it Riverside park in the Dublin area?
That river ate a lot discs but it was a fun course

 

[Cap’n Smudge]

It was the course on riverside - more the Upper Arlington area - but I’m sure we’re talking about the same course. My favorite Columbus course was Blendon woods. It was the 90’s for me too.

Yep thats it, it was called Griggs reservoir, its on "Riverside" drive(as you said).
I hit a lot of "trees" there, I had to google it.

Thank you!
So far it's good, but it's hard to tell if I am sick or not, don't have any symptoms at the moment.
