    Great post :thumbsup:

    I think they train us. Or at least we learn a lot about ourselves.

    My Lab pup goes back to kennel Saturday for retriever training. 52 lbs of pure muscle and energy.
    I've been working her since her 1st leg of training last fall.
    She's gonna be my little gun dog. Upland birds. I may take her to the water too.

    Do you keep her outside, or does she come in?

    She's an inside Dog. Has a bed in our laundry room. Another in the living room. Of course her favorite spot is on my lazy boy. :laugh:
    You can't leave a girl this pretty outside. :D

    Thank you-
    I get her finished and I will get another so she has a full time buddy.
    I've always wanted a big 'ole Chocolate Lab. Thst don't hunt or much of anything else, but eat poop and sleep. :D
    Which would be the exact opposite of my current pup. :laugh:

    Yeah, mine is a chow hound, during his puppy social when he was about 3 months old, all the puppies were allowed to socialize with each other. Mine went over to the table with all the treats, scaled across the edge of the table with his front legs, until he pulled himself up on the table. He also can pick up a turd at a fast pace before I can blink an eye. I have to scan 10 feet in front of him when walking. We have a Border Collie thats going on 11, shes the princess

    The 2011 model was listed on the UAW website as being Union made. One of the reasons I chose it. I can't find any Union stickers(except for the ones I put on the back window ) or plates on my truck though. Maybe that's only done with Ford, Chevy, etc...? ‍

    Last post was three years ago. They are not union made. There is nothing else to say except union work in the US private sector has dropped to 6% union, 94% non union.
    For example, a typical Ford assembly line worker makes between $16-$24 an hour and a Toyota worker $15-$27 an hour. There is really no difference anymore except union dues.

    Good thing I'm in the Union Structural Ironworker sector then, because the difference & benefits are way better...by a long shot.

    Iron head huh? I was a structural engineer and have nothing but the most respect for iron workers. These guys do thinks that most of us won’t. I love watching an erection crew working. It’s a talent and a speciality that is necessary for modern life, and can’t pay enough. God bless the iron heads.

    I have respect for every worker. Not so much for those who don't work. We have both union and non union workers at our various plants, depending on location. They all pretty much make the same taking into account cost of living.

    One can never have too many light bars.
    Of all the threads to be resurrected after 3 years this has to be one of the most obscure. But hey I guess it's better than any of the 1000 "what is the best oil" threads on here coming back to life.
