Austin Area TW Chapter (all gens welcome, even T4Rs; heck, just make it a Toyota and we're good)

As I've been sitting here at the VA clinic for two hours... I remember why I quit coming...

 

Almost done. The door front for the teak pull out system is being laser engraved

 

This?

 

Super clean

 

damn!

 

I don’t work in clinics, I’m at the data center. Security is significantly different.

What are you there for? Always long waits for the TexVets and VBA folks. The clinics themselves are usually right on time.

I think that whatever is keeping you there is your own damn fault. You forget - we’ve all met you.

 

Well played.... But was just an annual. Apparently you have to go yearly to stay in the system.... So I was reestablishing myself

 

Oh crap - I’m overdue mine, but I might be locked in because of my rating. Regardless, I need to go study for that urine test now...

 

Passed mine

I went 4 years since last visit there

 

12hr shift today. Making that "I Want A Land Cruiser In My Life" money ...

 

Looks like a good start the new casa

 

Sounds like an average day. You’re a framer?

 

Not for us! We rarely put in loooong days. We're the "Slow and Expensive" crew. I shit you not, my boss will use those exact words when he first meets a potential client before even bothering to put in a bid.... We get 95% of jobs he bids.

Yes we do framing, (2-4 houses a year...maybe). Rest of the time we do remodels, Hill Country wedding venues, historical home renovation, finish carpentry, rustic carpentry.

I tell people I do carpentry, but my self appointed job title is "Solution Specialist". You a framer?

 

Best Mexican food in S.A? I'll be the judge of that
El Rodeó on Potranco has some bomb ass tripa tacos ! The cook reminds me of my mom and she's a sweet old lady that will sit down with you and chat while you eat if they aren't busy and you speak Spanish. She gave me the hook up last time I was there and gave me extra tacos to go for free

 

I second that about Rudy's! My cousin used to manage the Brownsville location and we used to go and get it all the time for $1

 

Tell them he's actually a dolphin and not a whale and they lose their minds

 

No I’m not but I have to deal with the fast and cheap framers.

 

Ouch I can only imagine what that's like.... I told my boss years ago that if we ever find ourselves doing a tract home, I'll quit. It'll be time to reinvent myself and do something else, I'll be a chicken farmer or a mechanic....

 

Dylan is awesome thank him again!!!!!!!
