Yeah I wanted to say the same thing. Dunno what those are. Pickled my tickle. Welder came today and it lasted here about an hour and a shop sent their delivery guy out to get it. Pretty nice profit for very small amount of work.

When my parents sold their two houses on FSBOBR.COM that was a running thread that the people looking were tired of dealing with real estate agents.

I have a cat that helps me hunt squirrels. She sits there and listens and will wak around a tree and the squirrel will come around to the other side to avoid the cat and that's when I shoot them. Her brother used to sit in the yard/field for hours and listen for moles. He would hear them and dig...

They don't charge that much for labor around here. Probably because bike riding is not a huge deal like other parts of the country and the market won't support it.

Power went off in the office one day but the shop kept power. Anyway I had to draw some templates for the shop. I was using the board and a drafting machine. Some of the other guys stood around going "magic" they had no clue what the thing was even tho it was in the room for the last 25 years...

Afraid to ask, how much did those set you back? Fighting winds is something we never have to do for the most part here unless it's from road traffic.

I've never ridden a fat tire bike. How do they do in deep mud or similar? I know people really like them in the snow and such, but never see much mentioned on really bad mud. Just ordered a new tig torchto pair with the new welder I got off ebay that I'm selling off. More exciting stuff lol.

Parents sold their last two houses FSBO. There was a company that listed all the stuff in that town and that's all they did. It got a lot of traffic. The first house they sold it was up a week and got a few offers, their financing fell thru and they called the next person on the list and they...

Yup, lots of apartments where I have lived offer short term leases or by the month for an extra fee.

So you married a lesbian, interesting.

I loved auto mechanics in high school. Senior year they had early dismisal if you had enough credits to graduate so I had 4 hours of auto mechanics than an hour of english and I was done at noon and went home. Stayed friends with the instructor up until about 5 years ago when he died. Junior...

I'm officially old. Bough Bard's Tale 1,2, and 3 also. I remember having Bard's Tale 1 but the rest I just passed on I guess.

I looked at the screenshots for the D&D collection. One of the player characters in the screenshots was titled "Not Drizzt". Lol. Someone was deep into role playing.

It's not the air roducts you are thinking of. They aren't refilling bottles and shit lol. They're a complete self contained plant service a chemical plant or refinery for the air and gas type needs 24/7. The one adjacent to Dow has probably 1000 people working 24/7 at any given time. It's not a...

Did someone say softball? This was Oregon a few days ago.

Tempted to get this. I dunno, I remember some pretty bad games back then. GOG.com

Dream job. Spot on.

I had to get off the zolof as it was affecting my blood sugar by a pretty good amount. The internist I saw who presribed it said I should really seek counseling instead of getting another anti depressent. He sent me a registered letter saying he would no longer treat me becuase I sent a message...

In our industry if they use the term engineer they better have a stamp and the ability to use it. Otherwise they just say you work in the engineering department which is pretty common, which is actually what you do.

All the shops here have it delivered every day. I just dropped off my tank and will pick up the refill next week. They get the at shop tanks of several thousand cubic feet refilled and the driver just takes my small bottles in and brings them back the next day. All the argon, helim, and co2 gets...

If you are concerned it's related to blood sugar, wal-mart sells meters to check it for only $9. Can just check it when you have a flare up or whatever. Not a huge investment.

I should have taken a pic but I didn't have my phone. She was not taking shit at all and I'm guessing she weighed 110 pounds wet. Both the people she fired could have just sat on her lol

I don't remember ever thinking I want to be a soandso when I grow up. My mom kept something I wrote when I was probably 8-10 years old for school or something. I wanted to grow up and live all alone in a cabin in the woods. Now I live all alone in a house in the woods. Later I wanted to be a...

After several days of downpours it will slide off into the ocean, then start a new drought and fires. Cousin owns a semi recovery service. IE towtrucks for semi trucks. Normally they concentrate on the logging industry unsticking/recovering log trucks in East, TX. They've had to send their...

Oil closed above $50/brl for the first time in a while, had got down to $26/brl back in February. OPEC met last week and they voted not to reduce output. Lot of talk swirling around OPEC having lost their ability to steer the market now.

Saw two people get fired at McDonalds today. Made me feel good. She was bitching at them about flirting with customers and the girl said "I wasn't flirting", and the manager said "Giving a customer your phone number is flirting" lol. Maybe the service will improve. The manager was a black woman...

Started in the Vietnam era that a disproportinate were black. Nope, slightly below their general population numbers.

I made one of my doctors eat their words. I love it when that happens. The MS doctor was of the opinion "all of this" could be caused by my diabetes. I thought that would be very odd considering one day you're OK. The next day you either have MS or ADEM and then mass corticosteroids and then...

Both have their own thread int he sports forum. The one for Ali is 4 pages.

80 cubic feet of argon. Exciting stuff.

It's not all that uncommon for companies to pay a per diem the first year (tax free the first year I believe) of $500/week or so. Not exactly all that hard to find skill sets either. I would think $500/week would really help east the pain of moving. Some of it is field related but a lot of it...

Yeah the Brazos is 4.5' above it's record crest, ever. I gotta believe all that growth west of Houston out toward Katy and such isn't helping.

Friend went into the Navy after high school. All he talked about when he got out was how hard/tough it was. To no end. I didn't know, never been in the military. Then his dad told me he went straight to a squadron that upkept Gulfstream private type jets for flying big wigs in the Navy all over...

I saw a documentary on it. Was going to say Private Benjamin too.

Inspections are nothing more than someone walking thru to make sure the house will meet code. That's it in most places. Not that they are safe, free of mildew, or well built. Lots of people I talk to seem to equate a good inspection with quality. Has nothing to do with quality, just like code...
