Got a new Air Compressor for $700
Started doing body work yesterday and after having to stop every five minutes to let the compressor build air pressure back up got pissed.
So me and the wife got in the old ford truck and went out in search to buy a new air compressor.
Found one with a 80 gallon tank, three piston compressor, 230 volt wiring.
This also means more work because I’m gonna have to run another 230 wire into my shop now.
That means digging up the back yard again to run under ground pvc to protect the wire.
Then I have to tie into the power panel on the house.
I’ve run 250 volt for my welders, but my old air compressor was only 110 volts.
I ran the welder power to the front of my shop or the side of the house.
It is out side where there is nothing but block and cement to keep me from burning things up.
Plus I built a giant steel table to weld on, and a 3X3 foot wide by 3 ½ foot tall safe, that I use
To beat on stuff on. Oh and that is 2in. thick all around steel, the door is about 4in thick.
No fun to move either. Sat that on the back of my car trailer and picked the back end of
My 89 full size Bronco, right up off the ground. Think I’ll leave that if I ever move again.

Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
