Kinda back on topic of buster's bs.
A few months back a welder, whom i've known for about 50 years called me and asked if I would go w/him to pick up a new truck. For a welding rig.
He bought the iron and worked for days on body. I know the salesman he bought it from. I bought my old pickup from his Dad. I have no doubt that he was had on price. I ask what he was paying for money, said don't know. Boy people must love him. So he goes to TX. on a job and a blood vessel bust in his nose. So too hot to work there. He goes to inspecting in MN., close to where the bridge was.
Driving the 30,000 buck, gas drinking welding rig.
Anyway he only needs 400 hrs. to get his retirement from welders local.
Now he has the inspection bug. He buys a 4 wheeler ( the companys pays perday for a 4 wheeler, cell phone, camera, laptop, milage.) And I have not a clue as to what else. Per deim, yes. All that's tax free.
So, today around 3pm today he call me to take a ride to pick up a $20,??? buck used Ford 4 wheel drive pickup. Been raining all day and I need firewood in house. Anyway I took a quick ride with him, which turned out to be about 5 hrs.
He gets new truck and goes down street, in a right turn lane, goes straight. Raining like hell. Then on interstate driving about 40. I'm following and boy was my butt puckered, just waiting for a 18 wheeler to run my ass over. We get off intersate and he pulls over and tells me. Hey I broke it in already, spilt a beer.
Guess what's on my mind?, How do you pay for all that shit? When you have no idea what the money cost you? I understand that they'er making about 2k a week, but that amount still would give me nightmares. If I can get the amount, think I'll ask LJ or who ever LJ is now to run the numbers.

BTW. They have pipe all around here. 42". Rumor has it at $28,000 a 80' joint. And cost about a million bucks a mile to install.
My question is, where are they getting gas to put in lines? OH Yes! Gas price deregulation. Wonder who's in that bag??

Do flames shoot out those cracks when you try to launch an anvil, and the anvil just sits there?

Edit: I just noticed the screws on the corners for leveling the thing up so the anvils go straight up. I like it. Nice design.

I have reviewed the results of your nuclear medicine scan done Jan 15, 2008.

The results were within normal limits. This means you are at low risk for a cardiovascular event over the next 2 years.

Most heart attacks, however, occur suddenly, so please follow the guidelines on the enclosed time is life handout.

Dobutamine scans are usually reserved for people who cannot tolerate the regular stress tests. Did you do the treadmil stress test before the dob test?

No. The nurse, tester and I had a few words about how it was done. I didn't think it was realistic for me to set in car for 1 1/2 hrs, then waiting rooms for a few more, then do the treadmill at her speed. My knees and hips don't work that way anymore.

Good for you to take a stand bb - many "older folks" would have just tried and failed or messed up their bodies further.

1 day road trip

Mike and I made a trip to my old home town today. We stopped at Whitesands Church, where my great grandpa and maw are buried. He was born 1833, died 1888. Couldn't read his wife's stone, only feel the letters. Born 1840, died 1904. On to New Hebron, where my Dad had the first of 3 5&10 stores.
Where his store, the grocery, barber shop, and movie house were is now a slab and a dollar general store.

We ate lunch in town and got to talk to an old couple who knew some of my folks. Told me if had got there earlier, could have got in a domino game with some real old men!

Couldn't find the old house. Where I think it was is a newer house with a trailer beside it.

On to Shivers grave yard, where my grand pa, maw,and aunts and uncles are buried,He was born 1867 died 1947. She died in 1933. I only remember seeing him once, an old man with a white beard.

One of my aunt's houses is still there, but someone has bought the land to grandpa's old place and close the pig trail. No one around there would answer their door. So lots of unanswered questions.

Only photos are of tomb stones, so if anyone gives a big rats ass, I'll post.
