I have a bladder problem...

Well, its not the bladder inside my body, its a device. More on that later.

First, I got to stay in this morning to the late hour of 6:30! (with the dog curled up next to me). Then off to work (and yes this entire paragrahp is dedicated to the fact that the dog was with me, she is that important to mention)

I got to bounce around on a couple different projects as usual, but only one problem arose instead of being blasted with problems everywhere. The waterjet got fixed early in the morning and I got to make sure it is in good order. Now I have a backlog of parts to cut next week.

I started testing the bladder and all was well until it sprung a leak. So a portion of my day was wet-vacing the floor and cleaning up the mess. The solution to the leak is simple and can wait for monday. (and yes, my bladder problem resulted in peeing on the floor)

Between tasks, I cut, sanded, cleaned, and determined the density of some material for someone else to report. Leave a comment if you want to learn how to accurately calculate density (and no it does not involve measuring any dimensions)

Lastly, I cut some steel (1" thick O1 tool steel) on the waterjet. Learned a lesson: never use sharp corners on thick peices on a waterjet. It performs a horrible zig zag on the underside of the part that does not detach the finished piece from the stock material.

Wow, I think thats plenty to daze or intrigue someone who has no idea what I do. (Thats one of the definitions of an engineer btw)
