Wish I'd had time to take more shots, but around this time Rob was working 12 hour days to get it finished..
So made it a quick visit.
The combination of nasty overhead lighting…the camera flash…and daylight through the open door made for some challenging photography. Had to use a bit of colour-tweeking to get it viewable.

Amazing how skinny those tires are…given the load they had to carry

Those nasty yellow lights may soon go the way of the dodo bird. Not because they are ugly, not because they give a background noise, but because they are not energy efficient. They will soon be replaced by the snow white lights of LED.

Man, working here just keeps getting better. Today I got my big tire machine wired in, and tomorrow they will have the lathe hooked up.
