Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

No better time to replace the tanks than when they're empty too! That's the only silver lining I can see

 

Exactly

 

I see what I call Bad Magic there -- a valve without a cap.
Exponentially increases the odds of something bad happening.
(As if an IBC tote full of gasoline ratchet strapped to a TSC trailer wasn't odds enough -- fate has a sense of humor it seems.)

 

Speaking of people in gas stations making comments... A couple years back my buddy and I were standing in line waiting to buy some drinks and snacks for a road trip. An older guy was behind us, best described as a drifter. Friend and I are just making small talk while we wait, when suddenly from behind us we hear in a regular talking tone: "put up your hands, this is a stick up." Cue my friend and I both looking at each other slowly with the same expression of "did we just hear that right?" And as we turn to look at this guy, he's got this confused expression on his face. Then he follows up with: "ah, I fucked that up. I was supposed to say put down your hands this is a fuck up." All we could do was shake our heads and let our heart rates come back down a bit. We both carry concealed, and both of us got a laugh out of the fact that our first reaction was to look at the guy and see if he was serious before even considering unholstering.

That’s not cool at all, glad nobody got hurt for being silly

 

Found this pic, Not refined/ clean but in your wheelhouse...

 

That is fantastic. I think I know what I'm going to try and make tomorrow at work...

 

Good morning friends y’all have a good day

 

Good morning friends! It’s hump day, time to get humping

 

Good morning folks! Hope everyone has a wonderful day!!
I caught a couple of dinks yesterday

 

That’s more than I caught!

 

Trying to prep for more store plywood removal and tin install. The cable company decided many years ago to just hang the cable on the edge of the store and go through the wall. It looked bad not only on the outside but the inside too. I took it down, after we closed yesterday I ran it through the attic like it should have been. Our internet runs through it now is why I had to wait until we closed, can’t run credit cards or the daily report from the register with no internet. Baby steps

 

If you ever get rid of the nightcrawler sign I know a guy

How’s the fuel on your coast no issues over here yet

 

Speaking of fuel, a lot of times we’ll get a delivery in the night/mornings before I open at 6am, was hoping they delivered this morning........nope

 

I'm guessing there's no indication as to when you'll get some?

 

No sir. The main guy we talk to told us they don't know when they will let them load. They have numerous trucks and a lot of stores they deliver to, even when they get some I don't know where we fall on the delivery list since we can't hold a whole tanker load.

 

Where in NC are you, Shane? Shit's stupid outside Charlotte.

 

Kernersville, right beside Greensboro. It's stupid here as well.
