This is Mark. Mark’s using an, Exeter Fleshing Machine to remove the unwanted flesh from some fresh hides. These use a few rolls to pinch the hide against a bladed cylinder that scrapes the unwanted flesh off the back/inside of the hide as the operator pulls the hide out of the machine.
From here, we throw them into “burners” (think giant cement mixer) where we’ll chemically remove the hair from the hides.

Man, I can smell that tannery from here, lol! I remember watching Mike Rowe on Dirty Jobs at a tannery in upstate New York. It's a job I don't think I could handle. I'll stick with being an Auto Tech and working at the best shop, with the best people in the world.
If I ever remember, I'll get some random pics of a 1950 Dodge Pickup we've been working on (off and on) since last October that got pulled out of a Kansas field after sitting since 1992 by one of our customers. He also just hauled in a 1970 F250 from Texas. It's the next long term project after the Dodge is finally done and gone. The customer is a great guy who built a business up from nothing, starting in the early '70's, to become a multi-million dollar "empire". He's always dragging something to the shop and, of course, it ALWAYS snowballs. He's retired from company leadership but still sits on the board. With all the stuff he buys at auctions or wherever, as he says himself "too much time, too much money". What the hell, he earned it! Among all the vehicles he owns, the one I want to see on the road again is his 1969 Hemi Superbee. He bought it in 1978 and it still looks like a '70's street machine. Jacked up, fat tires, Hooker headers, red brake drums and rear axle, white fuel tank, Pioneer FM/8-track player under the dash, etc . I don't think it's come out of his hangar since the early 2000's though

Pics from work, Rockefeller Center Christmas tree. I’m an electrician..
OK, now that is just cool. Are you IBEW? My old man is a member out of the Detroit local. Probably would have followed in his footsteps if I hadn't stumbled into IT.
That's got more to do with auto design. Trucks and SUVs have become monstrous since the 90's. Driving down to work this morning I drove up next to what looked like a 1994 Jeep Cherokee. Thing looked like a clown car compared to everything else on the road.

Yes, IBEW Local3.
Nice trucks.
I did my own LongBed conversion and run a ProCharger. I’m currently searching for a bed, two rear MegaCab doors to stretch my current truck into a 10’ bed. Section the door skins into the bed. Like Dodge did to this one off BFT
Nice trucks.

10ft bed! Wow - that would be hard to park but I guess handy at the lumberyard!

Had a 2005 Cadillac SRX 3.6L come to the shop. Complaint was knocking noise from engine and engine runs bad. Yes on both counts. Had a code set for exhaust cam, bank 1 park position incorrect and the cam timing commanded and actual were all over the place. Was 95% sure the cam phaser (for the variable cam timing) had failed and doesn't lock in the base position. Got it apart and,,,,,,,,,any doubt was erased, lol.
