Pulled the plasma out to do some cutting, powered it up, bright flash and a loud pop, Plasma is dead. Grabbed the grinder and a cut off wheel, pulled the trigger bright flash out the back and quit working. Plus side the grinder just needs new brushes.
 
All sorts of sayings for this.....my favorite....

Sometimes you eat the bear....sometimes the bear eats you.... :D sorry you're not having a good day.....hopefully tomorrow you will be having a great one..... [P
 
No way, staying away from anything sharp today.

This day has just been the pits. Final got a hold of the manufacturer for the plasma cutter,

"Are you sure it is one of our's"

"Well it has your name all over the sides and when I googled it pages of the same cutter popped up so I'm sure it is"

"Well the serial number you gave us doesn't match anything we ever had in production"

Said I had to return it to where I purchased it from. Out of business of course, note to self don't buy tools out of the back of a van :rolleyes:. So no help there.

Went to the only parts house in town for brushes, on vacation for the next week.
 
Classic case of being out of synch Mike. Go to your happy place for a while and get back on the beam. :) Here's some therapy.




At some point in a guy's life... it comes down to this.
Four guys have been going to the same fishing trip for many years.
Two days before the group is to leave, Bruce's wife puts her foot down and tells him he isn't going.
Bruce's friends are very upset that he can't go, but what can they do.

Two days later the three get to the camping site only to find Bruce sitting there with a tent set up, firewood gathered, and dinner cooking on the fire.

"****, Bruce, how long you been here, and how did you talk your wife into letting you go?"

"Well, I've been here since yesterday evening. I was sitting in my chair and my wife came up behind me and put her hands over my eyes and said, "Guess who?"
I pulled her hands off, and she was wearing a brand new see through nightie. She took my hand and pulled me to our bedroom.
The room had candles and rose petals all over.
On the bed she had handcuffs, and ropes!

She told me to tie and cuff her to the bed, and I did.
And then she said, "Do whatever you want."


So, Here I am. You guys want a beer?"

My "day" was Sunday. I had a car sold minus drivetrain and I wanted it gone so used my Sunday to pull the 455/400 out of it. As soon as I got it out the chain broke. The balancer bounced off the solid loader tire (bending the crank) and the trans snapped in half. Now they guy who wanted the car backed out of the deal and the other guy who wanted the car don't want it now because it don't have a motor now. So... It still is sitting here with a junk motor/trans sitting next to it.

:D
