Just got back from Japan and shot some video of a couple assembly system we ran off while we were there. There is no sheet metal (cars) on the assembly carriers so we are just dry running the system for bugs.

Got to love your job when you get to play with R2D2's all day long.

Welcome back home Otty.

I'll be heading towards that part of the globe in a couple of months, not Japan mind you. I'm headed to China (Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzen, Hong Kong). Plus making a pit-stop in Borneo (Kota Kinabalu) for some R&R

.....it's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it

Gotta love those Kareoke clubs

Again, welcome back.

Good to be home

Mommy had me and the kids some steaks thawed out last night for supper. The food over there is ok but there is only so many different ways you can use rice. Told the old lady I didn't want to see any rice on the table for a while, just some meat and taters for me..

She done a real good job on tank sitting for me. Nothing is dead and all parameters are good. Couldn't ask for a better wife, especially after the welcome home I got at bed time.....

Thanks Snake. Sounds like you are going to have a good time. We did some sight seeing and toured the Nagoya Castle while we were there. Did a lot of travel on the Super Express (Bullet Train), boy does that go fast.

Have fun and take some pics.

Welcome back to the good ole U S of A!

I use do a lot of work at the nissan plant here, and its amazing watching all that in action. Not to mention the indoor test track and watching the "lemons" crash as their trying to take them out to staging area for transport. Saw a new sentra hit a Ibeam support doing about 45 when the accelerator stuck when they were driving it out to park it. Apparently thats a common occurance, lol.

That's The good thing about a Calcium reactor and a good skimmer and a well thought out and planned system. . Not much can change as long as you have gas and electricity. (:

I got involved with a LFS fiasco totally unplanned and out of control and its almost certain to be a problematic system for all of its days.

I used to work for Toyota Industrial Equipment and i seen a 8 ton fork lift hit a I-beam that had to be replaced and one of the Japanese ran a fork right through one.

Hope you got them straightened out as much as you could. Have you to thank for helping me set up a large system. All I had done before was a 55g..

I watched the movie about 3 times on the plane to Japan and back. JAL (Japanese Airlines) was showing it on Ch 6, you will like it on a HD TV pretty cool movie.
