.0004 = four tenths.

[Ptah]

Not bad for milling.

We had a job that required a tighter tolerance.

Our apprentice was given the task of producing
six pieces that were within .0001, i.e. one tenth.

He produced these components within tolerance.

He made six parts that were within .0001, within one tenth.


And then on his way home for lunch, riding his motorbike, he died.

:cry:

[Ptah]

1. So this guy I spoke with, and worked with, died.

Help me

I need to catch my breath

[SPKrazy]

13. Shit Man...

I know once a guy I was talking to at a party took off on his bike and he died...

but he wasn't just going home for lunch

sorry man... :hug:

breathe easy friend... nice ....... and slow.........:hug:

[LynzM]

2. I'm so sorry to hear that, ptah....

:hug: I don't know what to say, but I offer hugs and open ears if you want to talk... :hug:

[Ptah]

5. We never know when the reaper will strike.

Thank you for the solace.

[lizziegrace]

3. When did this happen??

I'm so very sorry. It knocks the wind right out of you.

:hug:

:(

[Ptah]

6. Today, at lunch time.

I am tired of people leaving

:cry:

[lizziegrace]

11. I know

:hug:

I am too.

[ornotna]

4. Sad story

You have an interesting way of telling it. I Hope you're well. :hug:

Wish I could offer more.

[Ptah]

8. Thank you for speaking to me.

I need support like that.

:hug:

[Shine]

7. I'm sorry, ptah

:hug: Life and Death is such a mystery, isn't it? :hug: Sudden death is especially hard. Peace to you and his family, too.

[Ptah]

9. Your supporting hugs and thoughts are uplifting, Shine.

I'm proud of your recent 100+ miles ride.

Thanks for the hugs.

[Shine]

10. Thanks, friend.

and I, in turn, have been noticing your growing sunflowers. :thumbsup: Sunflowers are my favorite flower of all, you know....for obvious reasons. :D

[lizziegrace]

12. They're mine too Shine

I'm planting some this year in honor of my friend.

:)

[Shine]

19. I gotta get out and do some gardening!!

:hi: lizziegrace! Did you start the new job yet? :shrug: How's it going?

[lizziegrace]

25. I did

it's a temp-hire position and I won't be on their payroll until May 1. I got called for jury duty. When you get paid hourly and don't get paid when you're not there, jury duty could put me on the street. :(

That and a dozen other things are wrong - the worst is Lelapin's financial aid. It's disappeared from her statement of account and she can't attend classes until we pay the full amount. No one can explain why as it's still on the financial aid award site...

Sigh...

Thanks for letting me vent. :pals:

And Ptah, I'll take photos of the sunflowers I grow for you.

:hug:

[Shine]

27. ...

hang in there, gf. :hug:

[Ptah]

35. You will grow flowers for me?

[lizziegrace]

51. Of course!

You're the reason I'm planting sunflowers this year. :hug:

20. Sweetheart, I am so sorry...

My husband is a CNC programmer on both mills and lathes (5 axis) for an aerospace protyping plant.

you would like him and maybe I can introduce you someday.

I wish I could make you feel better; I know I can't so I thought I would interject a little bit of normal talk.

I'm so sorry you're going through this. You don't deserve it. :hug:

[Ptah]

21. Thank you Mrs G

I count you among my friends.
