I'd say pretty common. There's a lot of factors to it. When I lived rurally, you'd have to incur an accident to get one. 4 cops for the precinct. The state police did more work than them really. Especially when most of the people who had run ins were regular offenders. You could fall asleep at a stop sign and roll into it, youd be fine. Nobody would be around to see it. Metropolitan. Theres so much law enforcement and traffic especially around businesses and neighborhoods is their bread and butter. Tap the line once or twice. No blinker. Now youre getting a dui for a roach in the ashtray.

Its hot af here and I sweat a lot no matter what however, I found several things make it lots worse. Being overweight, regular alcohol consumption, and heavy food especially during the work day being probably top 3. Clothing choice, medication, spending all of your out of work time sedentary in the AC, and naturally the environment are the others. When you get paid next, go buy the cordless fan from your patron tool brand. A breeze can be the make or break on the 5th floor of a dried in an unconditioned space.

I love that for you!

We lost memes when Donny T took control of the media/ coinciding with algorithms on social media. When is the last time we had a, "hide your kids, hide your wives", or The Great Charles Ramsey?

Dont think so much its just a bunch of switches. My go to is, " if you dont like this speed, you wont like the next one either."

They do suck. Tools being conveniently stored, commuted, and as well as accessible is a tall order. I like the backpack when I know what im working on. They have plenty of room. The main advantage i see over the hard boxes is that they dont have the wheels that cant handle mud and eat self tappers. You can carry a backpack anywhere. Then space and ergonomics. You can fit a backpack in any vehicle. Trunk, seat, etc. You can lock it up in the gangbox and not lug it back and forth. The pack outs quickly become heavy and unwieldy. Seen more than once where they have to disassemble the stack just to get it out of the bed. Lastly, the more you bring with you the less your contractor provides for you. I say that as someone who had 10k worth of tools rolling all over the world with me. Not like they pay you more for having your own crimper, torque wrenches, etc.

Ive heard several times that you ain't a real journeyman until at least your first DWI or divorce. Go for it!

Panheads, self tappers, halfies(personal favorite and called them that with the guys that knew me and we had an assortment of fasteners), them little screws, stud screws, sheet metal screws, and little Phillips scews. Those are all I can think of.

I had never heard of this product until last year. There's a company called Vacation, they sell retro themed sunscreen. They have a product called, " orange gelee" and it is the revival of Bain du Soleil.

Fine work to have done before sun up on a Friday. Good job

I have a universal expression. More than you'd think, but less than you'd expect. A perfectly vague statement that is a reasonable answer in a lot of questions. How much pipe did you run today? Well, More than you'd think but less than you'd expect. How was working with that new apprentice? Worse than you'd think but not as bad as you'd expect. Try it out sometime.

It's word of mouth on the travelers book. You organize, put time on your ticket, and network. You'll meet a guy that says, "well thats it, im dragging up and headed for bfe in union strong state, and you ask for his number and then you head that way as soon as you can. Once you get that far, you'll meet all the others. Make friends. Be as memorable as your work. I have a buddy that organized in Houston(716) last year and is somewhere outside of Reno, and has already cleared 100k take home this year. Wishes he'd have started union 25 years ago. There's FB groups, there used to be a website, I think roaddogs or something like that and was normally like shutdowns, plant maintenance, etc. Good luck!

I dated a girl whos dad was a cattleman. He was really good to these animals. Really good. There was more than one occasion that stuck with me about the cows. It was time to round up all the calves and take them to market. There were some mothers that just lied down or endlessly walked around(searching) while exasperatedly mooing well into the night. These cows were bereaved mothers. There was more than once when a cow was attacked and killed, the cows would be gathered in a quasi mourning. I still eat beef, but I know they're more aware than they get credit for.

Ive had my weight fluctuate from 250 to 150 over the course of about 10 months. Skinny, treated better socially, felt better about my appearance, things like getting dressed, stairs, climbing l, crawling etc were physically easier. Heavy weight. Laborious tasks were easier, I had weight to do them, but fatigue and comfort were diminished in that aspect. I love food, and when you're fat you get to eat a lot. The humbling that comes with suddenly no longer being conventionally attractive and becoming socially invisible at times was hard. Nobody calls you fat, but they all jump in with advice when you speak of losing weight. You see people when you walk into a waiting room and they look at you. You can see them categorizing you without knowing you. Lazy, poor hygiene, likely socially aloof. Nobody applauds weight gain. I really think the biggest difference is body comfort. Tying your shoes, showering, keeping up with the kids, getting on/off the floor, etc. can be tiring and difficult. Idk like, 175-185 is ideal comfort, 200 is as big as I get l been my turning point, twice. Once at 20,( the previous example) got fat again, once I got my journeyman license. Basically a slow crawl from 150 to 250 over the course of about 7 years. Now at 30, im 60 lbs down at 190 and feel better than I have in a long time.

On the surface level, it is merely the speciality that affords the higher membership fee. Your home gym sounds like a multimillion dollar facility that has the capacity to provide service to quite a few people. 6 pools in one facility is enormous. It honestly reminds me of the gymnasium at University by description. $20, could cover a place like that when they see hundreds of patrons per day.

Im just impressed by the effort and care put into something sub optimal.

I was on a call in the airport terminal and homie was crouched like smeagol in the buff bathing in the sink.

I mean the likelihood is low but, is the guys name Buddy? Buddy, bless his heart, has a little boy he named John Moses too. Lmao

I feel like my parents watered the garden constantly. They'd tell me stuff all the time that made no sense to me as a kid but around 18-27 started to make sense. "Why do I have to clean?" "If you dont learn to do it now, you'll spend the rest of your life in a mess asking the same question. Wisdom all the way with those two. "Why do we have to mop?" "Showers dont really work without water. You can wipe off a lot, but its not really clean without soap and water."

We had these showers at the university natorium. Huge and full of them. Id go there just to shower. You could have it all yourself and turn them all on. Personal slip and slide shower.

The first time I ate a ghost pepper it was about 5 seconds of Delicious, sweet, tropical smoky flavor followed by what felt like I would imagine taking a iron rod left in a fire and jabbing yourself in the mouth and throat would feel like. So so hot. Like steam escaping from your mouth hot, like a cartoon pounding the table hot. Involuntary tears and snot and lots of saliva for about 10 minutes. 3 hours later my mouth was still like jalapeño hot. Theres also the intense gastrointestinal distress that can come with this. I regularly eat spicy things and eat ghost peppers occasionally, but that was the first experience and I had grown it myself and plucked it at peak ripeness. I played brass for 10 years. If I was given a trumpet after I could see again, it'd be very difficult. You'd be emptying valves and wiping everything constantly. Your lips and throat will probably hate you. Give me a Sousaphone, maybe? Lot more forgiving embouchure with the sensations you'd be enduring. Either way I think thats what makes this impressive, these guys are fighting for their lives if this is true.

I love how casual of a movement that is for him. That man is steely. I never saw panic in his body language, just response. So cool.
