So the backstory on that:
Some MEs at the plant I'm visiting called me over to design an adjustable stationary retaining block system to hold the hydraulic arms long enough to do their testing at max speed. Before I got there, they were booming down on the retainer block with enough pressure to lift the front end up enough to get the front tires off the ground and letting friction do it's thing. On the more powerful models it would try to "walk" the block and spin the rear out of control. So they had me design and build a stationary securement in place. I had no idea how reckless the testing process still is.
I did mention something about chaining the rear down to one of the MEs. His only response was, "well, no, because if the chain breaks it'll hurt someone". (Not that a piece of heavy equipment in full yeet, 4th gear unleashed would or anything... 😂)
The whole scene is kinda scary, but amazingly, engineer approved.

Random question, what do you guys like to do the day before going OT w/ the fam?

Me? I like finding busted irrigation lines in my yard when mowing after work, and beginning the process of repair after supper and wrapping up around 10pm.

My wife would beg to differ. That just set the tone for me to be ill as a hornet.
 
All the moms just hanging out guarding their bronze eggs...

Finally got around to staining the boys playhouse today. I don't have a sprayer and just used a brush and roller. That sucked big time. I remembered why I swore to pay someone to paint next time. If it weren't for the half a quart the boys wasted "helping" this morning, I'd have had enough to finish with one gallon. I need another quart to finish up around the sandbox now.

So proud of my boys. They are great about finding ways to have white trash fun with stuff they find laying around. The object of the game I'm told is that one kid stands on the stool and the other raises the jack. Apparently this is the point at which someone fell off or chickened out. No one breaks their elbow on an ipad.
