My dad was a draftsman/designer as well in the refinery/chemical plant business and it was bad enough they were shutting down chemical plants and idling entire lines at what at the time was the nations largest refinery. Anyway. Never felt like I really BS'd or sold myself a lot. I normally...

Funny you mention west Texas in the early 80's. My dad went thru it in the petro chemical industry as well and it served as a constant motivator to diversify and learn more than just doing X which seems to be a problem with a lot of people I have had to hire. Expand a little. It was bad back...

Talk to people who are older than you and have suceeded in your chosen business/industry. Learn to talk to people who are odler than you comfortably. I would say this is a huge stumbling block for a lot of people. There are a lot of older people in my industry who have "made it" and a lot of...

Free box tank today. 50% crew kinda sucks tho,will have to upgrade it. Probably won't even play it lol.

I did 5 days of 1000mg infusion of steroids and no taper. What happens is your adrenal glands stop function for a period then resume. It was a pretty bad downer for a bit. For the first 2 weeks it was the best 2 weeks of my life. Then 2 weeks of couldn't move and laid in bed.

I actually enjoy Westfield if I'm not in a medium. It even works good to go hill in my T49, can't stand the east side.

They used to have a non menu item called the Grand Mariner (I worked at McDonalds 30 years ago in high school) that was 2 filet of fishes on a Big Mac bun and whatever else. We sold a ton of them especially during lent as you mentioned, but this was also South Louisiana where the majority of...

For the first time in my life I'm getting burned out on fast food. I go to lunch everyday and I get an hour. I go with 2-3 others most days, normally 2 Vp's and the IT guy. They want to eat fast food everday when we get an hour (and that's pretty flexible) and most reaturants are under 5 minutes...

55 years ago today. First American in spae.

Saw the are redoing some of the maps, sand river, westfield and karelia. Making them much flatter and removing a large amount of trees/bushes. At this rate we're gonna have a flat square with no trees/bushes to play on. I thought today was free box tank day but I must have miscounted...

Someone mentioned it earlier but I don't understand people who have dogs in very confined places. I lived for 3 months in an apartment at the start of the year after moving to a new city and the business paid for it. Having never lived in an apartment I was really suprised that approximately 75%...

I just drive the truck to each one.

They have the best record in the league, but I guess a number of those wins come from their own division...

What the hell is going on in Houston? 10 games in a row now and they are 7 games up on second place. Odd to say the least.

When it does it take the spark plug out and see if you are getting spark before you chase down a fuel problem. I had to replace the coil on a B&S engine last month on my parents mower. Would crank and run OK then as it warmed up if you killed it wouldn't start. Did this for a while then pretty...

This will go nowhere apparently until someone comes out with a video. Too long ago and no hard evidence.

I watched one video of Armored Warfare. They really made a huge effort to reduce the amount of times in a game. It was a little too twitch for me, you always knew when you were spotted etc...Just didn't look appealing, but I'm sure lots will go for it.

A lot of places I go into the contractors on site like engineers and project mangers have their USB disabled I assume so they can't copy stuff onto them. If I get a permit for a camera which is pretty normal and I take pictures on site I have to either find an upper managers office to let us...

People do dumb stuff all the time. A lot of places I have to go on site for contract work ban all cell phones because they have a camera. At least once a month I hear about someone who got canned because they had their cell phone out texting or doing facebook or whatever. This wasn't the case of...

I don't clan and have never platooned at 16k game. Been running theT49 for a week. Took me a while to get the hang of it, but after a while it's starting to click. Have a 59% win rate in it now and a 2k damage average which isn't bad I guess. Not sure how long the novelty will still have...

All I know is the tier 1-3 Jap tanks are holding me up from getting my master tanker and have been for a long time. I play tier 2 for a few matches a day and I never see any tier 1-3 jap tanks. I need 4 more tanks to finish and have been trying for months.

Free SU-100Y coming this week. I'm guessing it will suck and there will be 10,000 of them out there.

A lot of contruction just dump it where people put up signs for clean fill, mostly busted up concrete. If it's close to the job site it beats having to pay to dump it which the landfill here charges by the pound and it's 30 minutes out of town.

Craigslist here always has ads looking for free clean fill. Of course all the houses here now have to built up a few feet and dirt is expensive in bulk. Lots of times you'll see a sign "Taking fill if clean" meaning no dumping just trash.

I pretty much gave up on the team when they changed leagues. I was pretty suprised to see they were in first place, still doens't matter tho. Don't care about any of the teams they play now in the last.

Listening to their emergency net via ham radio on 14.210 Mhz and the net operator is giving a lot of info but he gives out locations that don't mean much to me and google didn't help much. Probably lost in the translation or noise.

38 years ago tomorrow.

The new comissioner said in an interview just in the last two weeks he was going to entertain the idea of a review of the ban on Rose.

Point being it's a suburb of Baton Rouge. Do you really need to know which direction it is from a city located almost 100 miles away? I wouldn't think it matters if you can pinpoint either on a map.

Dead tody at 92.

Don't drink so...I know when I was younger Louisiana almost lost it's highway funding for a period of time because they wouldn't up the drinking age from 18 to 21. Bars in the french quarter are open 24/7. Mid 90's.

Tomorrow is national random drug test at work day.

No idea, 16k games and have never platooned. Bummed, last night playing the bulldog 8500 spotting damage and 1500 damage in a tier 10 game and it's not a mastery badgewith 1380 base exp. Possible new crew skills, not anytime "soon" according to the dev. Ammunition Tuning Decreases the...

Depending on the grass you can place runners you cut from the rest of the yard and keep them watered about right now and it will help.
