I'm a Manufacturing Programmer Analyst . I'm also a "whatever needs to be done" guy with PCs, Macs, *nix boxes, networking or servers.

 

My main specialty I suppose is writing front end applications for hardware but I also help design and build equipment.

Sole IT person for a manufacturing Company.

 

 

Lots of us IT guys here.

 

 

I was noticing that. Dunno if there's something scarey about that.

Just be glad they're not Postal workers.

It's an interesting observation. I know a lot of the other IT guys I've worked with over the years have had at least a passing interest in guns. I don't particularly advertise that I have guns, but if it eventually comes up, I've never gotten the typical "what do you need that for?" from IT guys.

that's because most IT guys are fairly open minded.

 

And just a bit..off. I'm no exception.

 

I'm debating framing ken's pic of me with his mossberg and hanging it prominently in my office, just to see the effect.

LOL I printed out the 4 firearms safety rules and thumbtacked it to a wall in my cube :D Oddly enough, no one has ever made a single comment about it

 

bah, that's way to subtle.

 

:lol: it might've been if the copy I printed out didn't have the tactical response logo on it

Gee, you don't suppose that IT guys are at computers often, happen to know how to search and aren't shy about joining forums?

 

that makes it sound like all non-IT folk are old coots who think you need cheese for your mouse..

Sounds like you're describing the other half of the forum.

I work for the US Army at Picatinny Arsenal.

 

I got a few job offers in various divisions at Picatinny after I graduated from college with a MechE degree (I know 5 or 6 guys that work there currently as civilian engineers). I ended up going into real estate instead but I often regret the decision to turn down those jobs. I currently work for a large construction manager / developer in NYC.

Service Tech for Ingersoll Rand. I service,repair and maintain Industrial Class Air Compressors upto 500HP and Moisture Obsorbtion Systems using either Dessicant or Refrigerent upto 5000CFM.

 

 

How far will you travel? I have 10 compressors that I need monthly service on. They are in Freehold, Marlboro, Old Bridge and Oakhurst. They all have moisture absorbent systems as well as automatic drains on timers and moisture jars at each drop (approx 50 at each location). I don't know the name of the company that we use now, but I'd rather give a member here the business, if you are interested.

      The Tax Man Commeth

      By leahcim · Posted

      We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in

      I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html

      The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam

      Softer Holster

      By maintenanceguy · Posted

      I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.

      Light primer strikes

      By Mr.Stu · Posted

      Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
