Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

good laughs to start the day. Sitting in parking lot finishing coffee. Bout time to roll on in.

 

I remember being so poor dad was cutting up onion for supper one night and we were all crying.


Onion was such a good dog

 

I remember when I was young and dad would be working at the FD on Sunday's we'd go see him, there was a K-Mart near the station he was at and I'd ask mom if we could stop by. She always said we don't have any money, I said you got checks. I realized later in life just cause you got checks don't mean you got money. True story.

 

Powdered...

Mixed with collected rainwater, we were "green" before it was a thing.

 

Carnation milk is best of all ,
No tits to pull , no shit to haul.

 

There is no wrong way to eat a potato, the perfect food.

 

Ah. Too bad you don't have a combo horizontal/vertical bandsaw.

I used to say the same thing to my grandparents.

Morning Bruce Inc.!

 

We were so poor, poor people gave us their last dollar

 

I don’t see it happening

 

least its on east coast...

 

Who knew that driving a brick in 25mph, gusting to 65mph, head winds meant horrible gas mileage.

Oh, right. Everyone.

The trip home last night was good.

 

Good morning Shane, Inc.

What’s the wind chill with the hurricane force winds?

 

There's 4 guys in my area.

One lives out of town and didn't come in today.
One emailed us and said his kid has remote school so he's staying home with him.
The last one has an all day meeting until 5:00 even though we're done at 4:00.

Which means I got the whole place to my self.

 

11, feels like -10 with the 30mph wind. But the temperature is dropping all day down to 5 and 22mph wind at 4:00 so it will feel like -17. It's hard to factor in the gusts but it isn't horrible.

I did think the message board this morning on the interstate was funny:

No travel advised
Fargo to Canada

Usually it says "border", for some reason replacing it with "Canada" made me laugh. But I'm easily amused.

 

Looks like a bunch nope!

 

Still don't have that kind of time. I have the horrible project done but now I have everything I pushed back for 2 weeks to get it done to do.

 

When I was 12 years old my parents, brother, and I took a 2 week trip around the U.S. in dads 1987 1/2 ton Chevy truck with a 305 pulling a 26' camper. It was a regular cab truck so he bought a cheap shell for it so 2 of us could ride in the back

I remember being out west somewhere that it was flat and the wind was so bad he had it mashed to the floor and we were doing 8 mph. An 18 wheeler passed us

I remember gas being around .69 cents a gallon, I ask him a couple years ago how much they spent on gas for that trip.......he said $1,000

 

Customer brought this by, boss said he wants three 1/4” holes at the check marks. Or did he mean 3/4” holes at the check marks

He tried to drill one and it wasn’t close enough so he ask us to do it. Done!

 

He must not have a punch set
