My charger being broke messed me up so I was just trying to get the pics up in a timely fashion. And it's so hard for me with this new format as whenever I type I never know where it's gonna show up in a post. Hopefully the guys will chime in and they can say who they are. Sorry about that I was thinking about it as I posted.

That looked like a lot of fun. Need to ship you down to Florida to have one here.

I'm not in the group picture, I'm doing the Mr. Tig pose, Miller helmet, Wild hat, Beauregard Electric Navy blue shirt. Akatz is the youngest guy in yellow shirt, Gaiter is tall looks like a mix of Jessie James, and General Custer, his shirt says he won't be happy until you aren't happy. Zap is crouching, Docwelder is taking the picture. Welder mike third from left with the bad foot.
The others I haven't figured out, at least two are in witness protection, so don't tell anyone.

In the group pic, it is Ari (AKATZ), Gator (who's first name I am not sure I ever caught..sorry), weldermike, Al (DRF255), me, the other Mike (Heartdoc I think??), and zap crouching down

[zapster]

I am not admitting to anything....

I was thinking we need to do a stick welding clinic next. Or maybe an OA welding clinic. There was way too much collective experience in that room not to take further advantage of it. ;-)

HaHa I forgot about that Al. Big Mike asked if anybody was interested in some food, and from a dead sleep DOCWELDERS eyes popped wide open and he blurted out FOOD? FOOD? and then fell back asleep! Priceless Joe LOL

Great to meet you all. I would be "In" for another semester anytime.
It was great hearing all the old stories from zapster. Man you have got around.
Here are a few quick pictures I took while loitering about. Zap is going to have to identify the equipment cuz I haven't a clue what it does.

I felt like a kid in a candy store. Only difference is I don't know how to eat. But I could learn!

[zapster]

Remember to work on that feed technique guys while sitting there watching T.V.....

See Mikes post #78.. note the fingers...

Good pic Mike.

[docwelder]

i'm looking forward to going into work tomorrow to crank up the tig machine. there's a 1 gallon stainless ladle that needs the handle welded on again and it's really too thin for stick welding which is my usual m.o. for fixing them.
