I build stuff with machines and my hands

The Midwest is terribly unkind to vehicles. This was a perfectly functional fuel pump on a GM pickup truck however it developed a pinhole fuel leak due to corrosion where the pressure (output) side of the fuel line connects....it's almost like these were engineered to collect moisture and road salt. Anyhow, pump was replaced and generously coated with a rust inhibitor product called "fluid film" that I have used for years especially on equipment like snow plows. Just be aware it does not fully dry so if you ever have to come in contact with it, you will be wearing it. But it does what it's supposed to..

Oh for sure, I have tons of the industrial-esque type photos, I'll have to start unloading some of those...just wasn't my feel this morning haha

Near Kulm, ND last fall. I have to dig into the camera roll for these, today's real time sunrise was at a steel mill in Indiana, not very attractive, lol

GM Nostr! Have a good one

Yes and they have a ton more beyond what I see in the big box/retail stores...

Current scenery. Also an excuse to make more hastags...

If you long press lightning bolt you can set a custom zap/sats amount...

I've been gradually upgrading tools in the shop from pneumatic to cordless/electric...one example here is this Milwaukee straight die grinder. No more fumbling with air lines and will last a decent amount of time between battery swaps...very convenient

What client are you using? For example Amethyst did that to me at first, make sure you check for app updates, they seem to be improving/updating very frequently
