Keystone State Thread

She does wash and wax and detail your vehicle at least every weekend ??

 

Nope, I don't think I'd trust her to do that; Quite frankly it's not gonna work out for reasons that go far beyond her laziness and sloppiness...

 

Good morning fellow Pennsyltuckyvanians!!!

Lynn and I finished painting the beekeeping area we made in the stable and then I spent about 6.5 hours cutting and picking up grass clippings - and managed to squeeze in a quick trip to our friends' to help upload a hot air balloon they are selling so they can take it to have its annual inspection. Started work about 8AM and put the mowers away after refueling them at 6:45PM

Looks like we'll be getting rain again later today/tonight.

Welcome to retired life.

 

Good morning PA TW

 

Morning Pa! Saving my $$$ towards a new Diamondback cover for my new truck. Almost there! Side work today and tomorrow after normal shift. That's my play money!

 

Morning Pennsylvania

 

Good Morning Downingtown PA

Does anyone know of any shops in the area that fabricate bumpers rocks sliders etc. Delaware preferred. Shipping and Taxes. I hate paying them.

Welcome to the PA TW thread

 

who inspects a hot air balloon? I’d assume you’d have to blow it up at least partially to do so?

 

I think mobclowns are down that way?

 

I have been working at my current place of employment for two years now, and I probably drive the most distinctive 2nd Gen Tacoma in Bucks County; You'd think the guy who owns the property we rent would have recognized me by now...

NOPE!

I haven't worked at HQ (rented) for several months and currently work at another property a couple miles away that the company I work for owns...

However, the owned property doesn't have a designated recycling dumpster, so I fill up my truck with cardboard from our owned property once or twice a week and drive it over to the rented property, which does have a recycling dumpster...

 

Yesterday, towards the end of the day, I brought some massive pieces of cardboard over to the rented property to recycle; I'd already unloaded the truck and was trying to see if I could find any spotted lanternflies to annihilate before going back to the other location...

This older man pulls up in a white Jeep Compass and is kinda eyeing me suspiciously, but he's on his cell phone so I just ignore him; I was on the passenger side of my truck, and he was parked on the driver's side with his driver's side closest to my truck.

I started heading back to get in my truck, and that's when the guy in the Jeep hung up his phone and asked rather annoyedly, "Can I help you?"

I forget the first thing I said, but I if there's one thing I hate it's being confronted by someone when I'm doing my job; A similar thing happened a few years ago when I putting trash in the dumpster at the bar where I used to work...

The guy in the Jeep said he owned the property, but I've never met the owner of the property, though I have seen what he usually drives and the last I checked it was not a Jeep Compass; A Jeep Compass doesn't exactly fit the profile of a multimillionaire (possibly billionaire) property owner!

 

So, in typical "autistic-adult-just-trying-to-finish-the-job-his-boss-told-him-to-do" fashion, I got irate and words were exchanged; I did not swear at the guy, but I made no attempt to hide the fact that I was pissed...

I told him I'd been working there for two years, and I still worked for the company but just not at that location, and I was recycling cardboard since our other building didn't have a recycling dumpster. I also told him the company I worked for, but this still wasn't enough for him and he asked my name...

I only gave him my first name, and then he had the balls to ask what my problem was...

 

I dont think this is going to end well.

 

They just closed up shop in the last few weeks.

 

It is similar to getting a 100 hour inspection on an airplane. There are people who are FAA certified to inspect/repair/certify hot air balloons for flight worthiness. Hot air balloons are licensed by the FAA like airplane and carry an N number for identification. To get it certified annually, you have to bring all the equipment - basket, propane tanks, envelope, burner, hoses , safety equipment, etc and all are inspected. The balloon is assembled and inflated as part of the test.
