Right turn Clyde

INTEL stops construction of $25B chip plant in Israel.

My Take: seein’ how there is a lot of OMG!’s flyin’ round of Semtic/Ant-Semetic hyperbole,,,,   Sorry,  my take; Why wouldn’t I hesitate on finalizing construction: IE HUGE investment,  when the site might be sitting at Ground Zero of a nuclear strike?   Hmm,  let’s think of the implications, and how even Lloyd’s of London might hesitate to take that policy,,  (btw, I like Lloyd’s,  they are honest bookies, not some charlatans masquerading as ‘insurance’, even if they ARE Insurers of long standing.)  Anyone could spin this as ‘anti-semetic’ response, and there may even be a touch of that involved,  but I would say the accountants and lawyers are saying “bad bet, use caution ⚠️ “,,,

Dunno’bout y’all, but I would rather wait until the fires are out before I choose to invest in a place.  A little business savvy over FEELZ here.

Capital investments, LOLZ, seems that convo has risen at least twice today,   The first one was at the J.O.B.  talking about Bossman and his ‘capital’ vs what the other Emps invest.   Of course the Oldman wants people employed,  but that takes a certain amount of material, equipment, overhead, etc etc,    (most of) The emps can barely get themselves to the J.O.B. let alone provide tools (or even intellectual property, but I digress)  That in mind, the return on investment (ratio of investment/return) is heavily towards the Emps, not the owner.  

But you can never quite get that through their heads,,,  They just see the figures and note that “hey, they made XX grand on that job,,,,,”   (and why most employers keep that sort of information hush-hush.  )

C’est la Vie,,,,

home now, doin’ an odd for me: Bicardi and Reeds Xtra, just one shot of the rum and a full can of Reeds, won’t get me even a little tipsy,, just a mellow.    Taking a moment to unwind from the day, and not let things go to my head on the project out under the carport.   Takin’ your advice Mike, I know that pattern was flat LUCK, even with all of my edu-mah-catin’ myself I have been doing.  At least I have learned a thing or three on this, but I still won’t claim expert at it.   The absolute best point I picked up was from a vid made by a guy that has been doing this for 20 years:  Pinion Depth Pinion depth pinion depth.   Don’t worry so much about the coast side since the car is in drive 90% of the time: focus on that side of gears.  

Here in a few, I am going out there and start sealing things up.  No rush, I won’t be trying to put that monster in Buffalo until Satyrday.   May be that a few days cure time on the RTV will make it bullet proof against leaks (didn’t on the one currently in, but I also found that the cover was rotted through and it leaks from bare steel spots,,,  Like an old Indian motorcycle would leak right through the crankcase.  All that porous cast aluminum.)

So far, an excellent week, minus the mess of poison Ivy I managed to tangle with yesterday on the JoBsite,,,arms, back of neck and SCHNOZ are all rashed up and itchy,,,  The schnoz is driving me batty, feels ‘blowed up’ (isn’t, just feels that way): UGH!!!!   Keep it clean and DRY and  ‘Patience Grasshoppa!!!’,,,,

Keep on Livin’
