Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

I like my Komelon for much the same reasons.



Double sided and big numbers.

 

At my old job I purchased hundreds of these over the years for the workers. (workers are rough on things)
Cheap, incredibly tough, available in 4 jazzy colors and with fractions.
Many (most really) entry level workers can't read a tape, even the ones who can make less mistakes when using a fraction tape.

 

Like people calling pop, soda and supper, dinner! IKR!

 

Or in Missouri, it's called sody pop.

 

I may or may not have used that name
I think pop is most popular in Nebraska, but have also been where it's called soda, and then ya just gotta laugh 'cause there's soda pop, best of both worlds.
A magazine is never a clip.
This is my rifle, this is my gun....

 

And I'm never one to freak out on what terms people use. As long as I'm picking up what they're laying down, I'm good.
Then sometimes I might hear a saying and have to ask, excuse me you talking about?
Have a great friend from Louisiana comes back to Nebraska to deer hunt. He would ask, "where ya at?", I had to ask what the..you mean?
In Louisiana this is like asking how you doing.
I've pondered it some...like where ya at state of mind perhaps how that works..

 

If you are in TX its "Coke" at restaurants...as in what kind of coke you want..

 

Georgia, too. Not a fan!

 

Did i just have a very strong deja vu moment here??

 

I used to post on another forum several years ago and every now and then you'd get a grammar cop in there. So one time this grammar cop starts knocking someone down. I felt that was a crappy thing to do, I always understood what he was asking or saying... So anyway, I quoted this guy's " dangling participle", with a
Dangly what
Then another guy comes on and quotes me, says, yeah we start getting those about three days into deer camp...on the first day we all put $5.00 in a jar and end of the week we compare whose got the biggest to win the pot.
I said ewww that sounds nasty!

Edit, that carried as much laugh to me as
Hey guuuuyyyys from last week.

 

I try not to be the grammar police since I say things like yall, yonder, and howbouche? But I wanted to emphasize the difference in what I'm going for...
This is a truck on "rims"

This is a truck on wheels

 

I could wrap my ****ing belt around those RIMS and have more material on the ground than those so-called tires!

 

FIFY

 

My parents are from Kentucky, that's what they call it. Salty and delicious is what I call it.

 

Absolutely!








(And country bacon/salt pork/whatever you like to call it)

 

Guy I’ve known my whole life, he and his wife put a pool in last year. We’ve never hung out, he and his wife invited us over today to swim. He’s 68, we had been in for about an hour and he decided to get in. Cole ask “why are you wearing a life vest?” He said cause I can’t swim

 

maybe just stay in the shallow end, chief.

 

Anyone here own a Horrible Fright Daytona Floor jack? I'm looking at getting a low profile one and curious about quality for shade tree mechanic guy.
Also was going to ask @six5crèéd or anyone with dial calipers and a factory 6.5 Creedmoor loaded round, get me the bullet weight and over all length. I sometimes use this length just as a curiosity when making my own. And I know ways to get my maximum COL with a determined bullet.
