    I pretty much wear pajamas to work. Well at least they feel like it.


    Hang up as soon as out of dryer. They also make a wrinkle release spray that works pretty well.

    I bought a little handheld steamer off of Amazon and I just steam them real quick. Takes like 5 minutes to do all the clothes for the week.

    Not quite as crisp as ironed/pressed, but the steamer is super cheap and they still look great!

    IIRC, on mine at least, you should be able to put an allen key in the top of the shaft to hold it while you break the nut loose.

    Congrats. What do you do? I absolutely despise dress clothes, that's why I'm in maintenance lol only dress code we have is for shoes. I could wear sweatpants and a sleeveless shirt every day if I wanted too.

    I did diesel maintenance in the military for 9 years. Got out went to school and now I'm at a desk job. I didn't ever think I'd be at a desk this quick, but I do GIS, geographical information, I create maps for the county.

    It's a basic program for now. I mainly doing tax parcels now. But I am expanding into water and sewer, planning, parks etc in the near future when budgets and time allow.

    Similar to mechanical engineering but on a geographical side.

    I love it more than I thought I would.

    So I think o just got the go ahead from my financial manager to "find a good deal on tires today." :bananadance::bananadance::bananadance:

    Either DC EC, stt pros or km2s in 255/85r16.

    I look at discount tire, 4wheel parts, tire direct all the big sites. Anyone know of a good place to find the best deal on either of those three? My choice is pretty much down to whichever one I can find cheapest.

    We've gotten Discount to price match TireCrawler.com a couple times recently. Even on Toyos.

    I never purchase certificates. 100% profit for the company. They only cover 3 years or so. I would rather buy a new tire IF something were to happen...

    If you just need to get some wrinkles out real quick, toss them in the clothes dryer on high heat with a damp washcloth. By the time you've taken a shower, etc, they will be ready to take out and look pressed.

    I did aircraft maintenance for 9 years in the military. Got out, went to school, hated it, now doing equipment maintenance for USPS lol. Glad you found something you enjoy though man that's all that matters.

    We picked up these little hollow plastic balls stuffed with foam from @Jeffvt0508 that you fill with water and toss in the dryer for wrinkles. They do pretty good. Never thought about using a wash cloth!

    I was AGE in the AF. '05-14. Turkey, England, SC

    I thought about doing maintenance and I applied at a few places. Never got a call back. I thought with 9 years experience I'd be an easy hire.

    No luck. Mine doesn’t have that. Just kind of a pin where it looks like maybe an adjustable wrench was designed to go on
