In May, we will be staying at the Holiday Inn Express (Because free with my points) in Alcoa. 21 minutes away from the park.
Has anybody done the Hatfield and McCoy Dinner Feud in Pigeon Forge? Wife booked us a dinner there.
I just threw up in my mouth.
how does one get ahead in life with a 1k car payment?
i know I’m a geezer, and am blessed to be able to pay cash, but I wouldn’t be in this position had I payed car payments like that early on.
If they don’t, it’s on me. I have been blessed to have mentors that have taken the time to make sure I have the tools to not only make parts, but to know how these parts work in terms of fit and function. Now, it’s my turn to help make America a manufacturing powerhouse again. That’s not a...
That is why we still have a few (real) machinists and manual machines in our “Sea of CNCs” shop. Even tho my medical stuff is not as complex as automotive, it’s still nice to tweek a design on a Bridgeport or manual lathe before sending to the programmers. That’s why I (as a non degreed...

That, and the very quick simulations, changes, and what-ifs I can do in Creo are...

As an ME for a medical device manufacture, I wonder about this quite a bit. We are driven by a number of ISO standards, key being ISO 13485. All of our processes require a minimum Cpk of 1.67, but we strive for 2.0 (6 sigma)
Every process is validated and have capability studies done before...
