Default This is why I will never take my KLX motor apart UPDATED! I'm a retard

Have you ever started tearing into a project and half way through realized that this thing is never getting back together. This HP 4500 is/was our old printer that we haven't used ina couple of years, but we have about $800.00 in consumables in the supply room, so I thought I would see why this thing wasn't working. Well I have to say I did not realize that there were so many mechanical and electronic parts in one of these printers. It makes a VCR look like child's play.[8D]

But I will attempt to get it back together, if nothing else so that surplus can deal with it in one piece. The other project I worked on yesterday is one of the toilets in the apartments. It was running and after changing out the pressurized top tank, and the cartridge, I realized that one of the manufacturing plugs busted out and was causing a constant run. So after some epoxy this morning we shall see if it is going to work. So that's it, just a couple of projects in the life of deej. Why don't we call this thread "what I'm up to at work" I'll re-name it if anyone adds to what they have been up to.









And here is the hole in the toilet.




Oh and one final picture, I just ran the Fire pump for a half hour. Here it is.




So come on guys what is your day like? Oh and have a great weekend in advance.

LOL, what did you expect? a big empty box filled with ink and magic?

Sounds like fun to me, the most exciting part of my day is standing on top of the paper towel aisle throwing down toilet paper, you can see the whole store from up there. Man I have a boring life[&o]

No I don't have to test that, it gets done by a testing company annually, along with the sprinkler system, the fire panel, the back flow devices and the hood suppression system in the kitchen. But I do run the pump at least once a month just to make sure it will start. That Detroit Diesel is 14 years old and its only got 53 hours on the meter. If that was a MX bike it would need rebuilding already.[8D]
