    A guy backing in an easy dock for over an hour. Appeared to be good at least a dozen times but the dock lasers have said otherwise. The yard dog usually kicks them out at this point. Two guys have tried and failed to help. When I went past to get to my door I wasn’t sure how he was actually angled across two doors like he was. It’s a nice truck, Peterbilt 386 maybe? Got all the electronic gadgets on dash and windshield. It was painful to watch but what do you do with someone that can’t be verbal backed into a dock? Plus it’s 20 degrees so I give credit to the guys that tried. The lighting sucks here but the guy is not young at all.

    When I was in the oilfield I tried to ground guide guys in frack pumps into position multiple times. It usually lead to an argument and me and a few others kicking them out of the seat and doing it ourselves. The customer wasn’t interested in having his pad turn into a drivers training course.

    We all joke about the flip flops and sandals but how in the F do these guys continue to wear them in wintertime. Is it against other religions to wear laced up footwear or boots in general?

    I was off for 3.5 days and I managed to hang one piece of beadboard and cut the rest to complete the closet. Didn’t hang the doors, fix the bathroom exhaust fan, install shower light, clean the garage, or touch the truck. Just was a complete lazy bum. I did manage to clean out the pickup truck bed. It was looking like a unkept mechanics service truck.

    One problem is the talk of $15.00 new minimum will not actually come across the check Friday, for a lot of people. Many will be dribbling it in over a time period, and the gullible workers will set spending on it being here now.

    Only problem with "Keeping up with the Jones's" is when you do match them, the rascal refinance."

    Asked a welder once. How did you learn to weld so smooth, steadily, and it just sounds like bacon frying?
    His answer. I burned a lot of rod. Same applies to becoming proficient with weapons.

    While the car is backed into the alley; the trunk lid is up, "good" friend is sitting on the fender, and the few bills have triple numbers. Don't take long.
    Not any dry firing as the merchandise is waved around and features discussed. it is cash, NOW, and carry AWAY.

    No Dave, the old muskets. You know, the reversed funnel at the end. Kind of spreads the bonhomie over a larger area
