Coffee In Space

One of the best jokes I've ever heard (or rather read)

"In space, how do you keep your coffee cup on the table? Velcro. How do you keep your coffee in the cup? More velcro."

Why do I find it so funny? I don't know, perhaps because it's so silly and absurd. I classify this as "funny always" per the classification introduced in Robert Heinlein's "The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress". Anybody knows where this joke comes from? I don't remember and just can't seem to find out.

Time to be a'weldn'!

When it comes to becoming good at stick welding, I think it requires the five Ps: Patience, Preparation, Premeditation, Process and Practice. I am a total noob, this is my second real weld job (not counting some amount of pure practice welds).

It actually looks good just in a few spots, the rest of it looks .. well .. still miles better than the previous weld job somebody did on this which broke and I was fixing. And that's something. I feel like I'm making some progress here.
