New Pics: Casualties and Creativity

Good day all. Today we have two sets of pictures from two separate MK’s. 10 pictures total, all pretty cool stuff. The first set is from a fellow engineer who passed along the following information:

Here are some pictures of some MK fun we have had here at Station Grand Haven MI. And also some projects that we just became a little creative on and improvised for a temporary fix!
