Monday Morning Weigh-In X-85

I can probably thank a job I have in the shop at work for better progress this week. It's a band from the bow-thruster on a grain ship I have been wrestling with that weighs about 400 pounds. I was just trying to get the old lining off and swinging a 5lb. sledge for about 4 hrs. along with just moving the thing around the shop is a workout. I'm using our shipping dock lift to raise and lower it as I bang away on the 2" solid rivets. Great times, but it will be about $2000 once I finish and an extra pound or two for sure.
X-85 gets me 1 pound from dropping another digit, it will be 230 and change instead of 240 hopefully by next week.
