    Hit me like a ton of bricks today that I really need to find a small shop space and get myself some welding/fabrication equipment.

    What spurred the thought was our pickup trailer got damaged a few weeks ago (new guy did something, uh, anyway...). Landing gear is half ripped off where it's welded to the trailer-- steel torn, and some twisting of the middle spar of the tongue. Fab shop we use has been booked up and has pushed the repair appointment out once already.

    Was looking at it again yesterday and was like "####, I could have that good as new in a couple hours"

    *lightbulb over head*

    Then today I was annoyed because we need more pipe racks for the yard.

    "Hum. I could crank out quite a few of those over a weekend..."

    Feels it's a waste to have skills and not put them to some kind of productive use every now and then.

    Nope. While I'm not hating myself because I'm beautiful, I'm not taking myself out on a Date either.
    I'm a little too snobby for my tastes, among other things.
    The absolute killer of a deal like that is the plumbing.
    I am diametrically opposed to Dating anybody with the same plumbing as myself. Simply not happening.

    However, if you're that attracted to yourself then go ahead, by all means.
    Don't let my opinion hold you back from enjoying your own company.

    A word of caution though. Inbreeding can lead to physical handicaps and deformities. Might wanna take precautions to avoid infragrancing yourself.

    62 mph trucks are way more dangerous than what them guys are crying about.

    I noticed that most of the crybabies that whine about the guys cheating ELD or logs are the ones DRIVING those 62 mph trucks doing the 10 mile pass with the seat jacked up so high you cant even see there head as you blow their doors off. Its ridiculous
