Depends on the woman.

When was the last time you rode a horse?

Three or 4 weekends ago I was helping a friend move a couple hundred
head of cattle down out of the Twisselman range. On horseback of
course. I keep a lariat and my working spurs hanging on the rifle rack
in the back window of my pickup. I still keep my hand in , so to
speak.

You really dont know much about me, do you....?

Im still a member of the PRCA..Professional Rodeo Cowboys Assoc,
though its been years since I rode broncs and bulls. I dont heal as
fast as I used to....and getting crippled up now is a death sentence
for my machine addiction, not to mention everything Ive worked for
over the years. Which is why I also stopped flat tracking years ago.

I hardly even get a chance for team penning on Friday nights, as Im
usually driving home from LA while its going on here locally.

The screwed up rotator cuff in my right shoulder is the result of a
rather stupid and very embaressing ****up while moving stock. Shrug.

Come on Chris, do you really think there would have been *less* criticism if
it were a guy?

Yes.

And that PC attitude is another major reason the USA is heading into
the crapper.

P.S: The guy would have been clobbered much harder due to many fewer
lovely distractions. Unsafe is unsafe, regardless of gender, race, or
age. Capiche?

Yes guys. You're just determined to argue that she's incompetent :-D.
She does have the glasses on and her hair tied back.


WRONG! We all pointed out safety violations, not incompetence. Nobody
said anything negative about the lovely lass.

Well, if we're going to argue about semantics surely ignorance of safety
precautions could be taken as a form of incompetence? But I will not say
any more on the subject, or it will become one of those endless and
pointless USENET discussions :-D.

I agree, Chris. On all accounts.

I also think the young lady has a ton of class.

Well there it is. That must be a tonic from the machinery
business, and all the troubles at home.

So is sitting on a side hill with a rifle or camera, waiting for a
deer or wild boar to appear. So is learning to tig and laying that
bead in just so...., or making two parts fit perfectly together, that
you turned or milled, or kicked back reading a good book with a couple
cats in your lap and on your shoulder, purrrring away.

Beats drugs and booze all to hell. Even gives good pussy a run for
it.

Our local range is closed for two months for re-work. And just
after I fitted a tang sight to my Winchester 62A.

But I up to the third session of the arc welding class wed nites.
Last week they let us run a plasma cutter. Now *that* was fun.

Sometimes its hard not to simply slash away G

In college a friend had a bad wheel bearing on her car. She wanted me to
do it for cash, which I turned down, but I offered to help her do it for
free. She dove right in, got greasy and we had it apart quickly. I had
been doing a *lot* of repairs to my car, and we took the bearing down to
the place I bought parts at to be pressed off the axel.

While we waited, there were several barely heard comments about women
working on cars. Theresa didn't pay any attention to them. She was playing
with the new bearing, looking at all the pieces. After a minute or two,
she started telling me in detail how the different parts of the thing was
made. The guys making cracks got pretty quiet. Theresa was a materials
science major at MIT.



Wonder if it was the same Theresa that I worked with on a couple of
projects at HON during the '90s. She had an MSME from MIT earned perhaps
in the early to mid '80s. Tools fit in her hands just fine.



I don't know if she stayed on for an MS or not. If you want to discuss
in more detail, feel free to email me.

I agree Jim - Had to 'play' with mine before I modified it for CNC.

So I tried slicing up a Bronze water pump case that was 3/8" thick -
The torch sliced through it nicely. Sure beats sawing!

Thanks to engineman1 for the Bronze to play with.
