Do you remember the day you and I were working in your garage and a

Yep, I remember the incident, well. LOL. It was at Ruskin, and I
remember
the cause was opening the shop door, when it had been cooler the day
before, onto a foggy, relatively warmer morning. I also remember being
****ed because I had not covered the tools the night before with those
special covers that I have for that exact situation, a weather report
that
calls for much warmer, foggy conditions the next morning.


That all happened at the end of the day, you and I had been working
together. You stayed late to finish drying and protecting the surfaces.
And IIRC you bought the covers after that when I pointed to the HTC
clearance sale.

OK ... you certainly got me scratching my head.

I distinctly remember having two, weather related, shop rust incidents
of that nature, one indeed at the Ruskin location... both, in my memory,
being _immediately upon_ "opening the overhead door".

You sure it was Ruskin ... we moved the equipment there in late Oct/2008?

Yes, It was Ruskin. ;~) I recall seeing all of that on water on the BS
on the right hand side of the garage as I was walking out.

AAMOF, that combination, to this day, always making me reluctant to open
the overhead door without checking/being aware of a temperature
differential, especially after the first time it happened after my 24/7
wall mounted fan went out at Oberlin, which moved enough air for it to
not normally be an issue.

I simply do not recall a "cold front" ever being the cause, but hey, it
wouldn't be the first time I wore shorts and t-shirt in 30 degree
weather without noticing the cold.

It had been warm and humid all day...till we were wrapping up and the
front blew in.

IIRC I found the HTC covers and the great chop saw stand that you bought
after I saw that issue. ;~)




... but that STILL doesn't explain why, drumroll:

The _science_ is on _my_ side!

g,d &r


I know it does not make any sense.
