Two Hours Today

Back to Cory Maye. I incorporated Lynn's changes.  I added a bit about Webbie questioning Jerry's ability to weld anything to anything.

“Name’s Jerry. Welder. Mostly pipelines, but I’ll weld anything to anything else. Got my own little company.”

That claim energizes Webbie, who seems to take it as a challenge of some sort.

“Can you weld aluminum to lead?”

“Yeah, I can. You have to clean everything real good, and use an electron beam welder. You gotta  pre-heat and use a faster weld speed, but you can do it. Mostly I’d recommend a good adhesive bond.’

“How ‘bout stainless to titanium?”

Jerry seems a bit exasperated.

“That too. It’s tricky, but I can do that with an electron beamer.”

“How ‘bout pewter to molybdenum?”

“How ‘bout I weld your head to the table?”

Angela steps in.

“Now, now boys. No need for that. I’m sure Jerry’s a very good welder.”

There we go. Two new friends for Angela.
