July 19, 201312 yr Pent, didn't you get a promotion to a better shift or area or something?haven't been employed since Christmas That is crazy. I thought you were in a plant somewhere.
July 19, 201312 yr They keep me busy as fuck at this new shop. I have my own shop... no shit, my own shop. We have 3 buildings, and after my first day they moved a tech out of the shop I am in, giving me 4 hoists and essentially 2 flat stalls to see if I could work it. I can. But they are keeping me so busy I am exhausted when I get home.I am glad of the pay schedule I chose. They offered me a flat salary or a commission based pay plus a bonus schedule based on gross profit. I figured with 12 lifts and heavy specialties in Euros, Jeeps, and Hybrids (all typically big spending vehicle owners) located right downtown in the business district that the commission/bonus schedule would be a winner. It is.Just in commission I have earned as much in 3 days (Monday was the last day of the previous pay period, and I was learning how they did things, but my 1 day check was pretty nice) as I was making in my last shop in a week.Needless to say, I am very happy about work right now. Fucking tired, but happy.Seth that is such amazing news. Fucking winning.MeYouPeng was somewhere too....Then JNext that lazy butter sucker will have a good job.:-DI need a better job, any ideas?Education or trained skill set?Learn a service trade like nursing or go into business doing something you love.

I'm a welder by trade and have a very mechanical skill set. Im at the max pay for my profession around here, but its still not enough for the toys i want. I like working with my hands and really like what I do for a living. Been debating on moving up to AK and weld on the pipelines. Still researching what would be best for the family as I can't be gone all the time.

July 19, 201312 yr Yeah, I welded generator casings for the Airforce and Navy for a while and it wasn't too bad for pay. I wouldn't say it was great, but I did alright for myself. I know guys around here were getting $50/hr building a couple ethanol plants, but that was only 2yrs worth of work and after that you would have to travel and I can't do that with a family.
July 19, 201312 yr Bought some generic gold bond...holy she it I'm on fire. Someone upped the menthol lol
July 19, 201312 yr Yeah, I try not to pepper my balls. Ice water ball sack bath is where its at IMHO lol
July 19, 201312 yr And of course you put it on your balls...I don't know about anybody else, but I wouldn't test a generic on my balls Edited July 19, 201312 yr by ChILL
July 19, 201312 yr And of course you put it on your balls...I don't know about anybody else, but I wouldn't test a generic on my ballsHaha it was cvs brand and I was feeling cheap. It felt fine for about thirty seconds, and then I started feeling the burn. I'll pay the extra few dollars next time.

July 19, 201312 yr Pent, didn't you get a promotion to a better shift or area or something? haven't been employed since Christmas So "promotion" depends on your perspective....
July 19, 201312 yr Now let me welcome everybody to the wild, wild westA state that's untouchable like Elliot NessThe track hits ya eardrum like a slug to ya chestPack a vest for your Jimmy in the city of sexWe in that sunshine state where that bomb ass hemp beThe state where ya never find a dance floor emptyAnd pimps be on a mission for them greensLean mean money-makin-machines servin fiendsI been in the game for ten years makin rap tunesEver since honeys was wearin sassoonNow it's '95 and they clock me and watch meDiamonds shinin lookin like I robbed LiberaceIt's all good, from Diego to tha BayYour city is tha bomb if your city makin payThrow up a finger if ya feel the same wayDre puttin it down forCaliforn-I-a NOw I have to find that CD.
July 19, 201312 yr REALLY contemplating grabbing a 17-55 Canon or the 17-50 Sigma.Mostly curious on how much the autofocus noise affects video.The STM motor is silent Sean. I mean SILENT.NO NOISE.It makes the USM on the 50 sound like a jet enjine. For video it can't be beat despite the high F. I will see if I can scratch up some video for you.And my concern is that next year Canon updates the now 7 yr old 17-55 with an STMIn which your only real concern is that the USM will drop in price.

Canon is $1200 - new lens makes it worth $700? Sigma is $600 - new Canon STM makes it worth $400 I'd rent it for a year for $200 EASY. $500 is much harder to swallow. So yeah, exactly.
July 19, 201312 yr Thought I would share a video for you guys. My gto vs my brothers m5 mustang gthttp://m.youtube.com/watch?v=j_mTn_SQT8IThanks for not embedding. I moss a lot of stuff in the hop because my iPad and android phone won't handle embedded for some reason
July 19, 201312 yr Preface: our neighborhood has no sidewalks, so I just walk the dogs in the street. Never allow them on to anyone's lawn/property. So I'm walking the pups and all of a sudden Willie decides right then and there he's gonna take a nice big shit. A little old lady yells out to me "SIR! ARE YOU GONNA PICK THAT UP!?!?" to which I respond "No, ma'am!". I guess her son was there doing chores or some such so she went and got him."Sir! You're not going to pick that up!?!?" he asks."No sir, I'm not" I reply."That's against the law! I'm calling the police!""Public roadway, sir!"......"I'm calling the mayor about this!""Alrighty!" *waves* Nosy neighbors are fun to mess with...
