bunch of 1st world problems on this page right now

 

One of my biggest pet peeves now is having the climate control on the screen. Nothing like having to takes eyes off the road just change temp settings.

 

I read it 4 to 6 months so when you get done started on tasting new things. Olivia is doing the same thing with chewing on her toys. I wonder what our pediatrician is going to tell us Monday.

 

Sounds like you're going to have to start doing some of the maintenance for the school. I like the idea of putting work in gets you a cheaper rate.

 

It's actually factored into the initial cost because it's technically required, at least a minimum amount of hours. But if you can't put the hours in then the yearly rate goes up

They are actually going to be changing that requirement soon, not sure how but it was put into effect decades ago when most single family households had one parent working and one parent staying home that could easily help out at the school. These days most families have both parents working so it's harder to put those hours in, so I'm hoping they revamp it to make it a little more modern

 

Right

 

"There's Theo's dad again, welding up a new front gate for the school. Did you see the logo he cut out?"

 

you should just apply to be a full-time school employee at that point, they probably get the best discounts on sending their kids there lol. And get a paycheck

 

That doesn't sound like a bad side job. Especially if it pays for your kids school.

 

@Kwikvette this could be a good one for your trail rig.

 

this is how the gf was doing it. School was toxic af though, not sure how walking around selling stiffies would go over.

 

That's cheap! Probably won't really get a beater trail rig until next year.

We spent a good chunk of money last year, and this year she only worked a few months so far so keeping it lean for next year's projects.

 

Just picked up a 4x8 of 16 gauge, got it cut in three sections

 

@treyus30

Found this 4' x 1' piece of aluminum

Only $8

 

What a steel!

 

dang guess I better hope I only need 1ft tall haha

 

Actually I bought this to practice on, and if you have any smaller parts I can definitely try using this to cut it with

 

For only $8 this provides so much more value in adjusting my cut settings

 

Yeah I'm pretty sure this is where I'll go for any 3/16 we need for your skid

The shop doesn't focus on selling remnants as they normally dump it, so I think they might be my go-to for when I need small pieces

Super close to home to don't even need to jump on the highway

 

I need somewhere like that around here. I still want to make a 3/16" full body tray before I call it done
