Wednesday Afternoon Linkages
My day at work, but with more panic, and, sadly, fewer buttons.

The New Worktruck
Part 1 My work requires me to have a midrange truck capable of towing a smallish generator that weights about 6500 lb, a fixed load of two large 1000 amp DC welders, each around 800 lbs, a large air compressor, variable load between 2000 to 3000 lbs of welding wire...

Saturday Morning Glibs Gulch Economic Links
Our Gulchers held a meeting this week of the "downtown" business owners to discuss a variety of issues, mostly about "what can the village/town/county/state do for us?" a fair and useful question. For once, I was not the only one in the room who thought, "Hey, how about getting off our backs?" People who are normally lunatics...
