They seem to keep going for the cheap scares instead of quality. Momma scared the mess out of me though. That movie was just straight up creepy. It was almost like seeing the Exorcist for the first time. Before they put out all those crappy sequels. Evil Dead trilogy was just massive gore and sadistic twisted humor. They weren't supposed to be scary.

Anyone seen it yet? The original was hilarious. This one just seems like they are trying to make it scary. I hope they didn't ruin this movie remaking it. Along those lines are they planning on remaking the other two also?

Apparently it depends what part of the country you are in. Just wait till you gotta do a 2903!!!! That one is a game changer, I tell you what! :D

They very well may be. If they are in Michigan or Alabama then they probably are.

That was totally WICKED!!!!! I ain't taking my PSE in a lake though. I just acquired a Matthews that's 10 years old though. I was gonna sell it. However I have now found a purpose for it. I am def gonna try that before the year is out.

Nope I'm broken right now. I'm taking time off to heal. I tried going back to gym and it hurt my hammy worse. So no weights for me for awhile. Doc ain't real happy with me about not listening to him a few months back. So I'm stuck doing walking and hiking. You want out of your three wall prison? Go into a trade. Its the fastest way to get out. Plus its fun.

Only if the 2 is liquid does it change to a 1. Otherwise its still a 2. :D

Now that was just uncalled for.

I've already done a good job of destroying my body through work. Everyday hurts. It never goes away. Just grin bear it and chase that money. I have a hard time letting the young ones do the hard part of the work. Its just something I have to learn. They are chomping at the bit wanting to prove themselves. And I'm too d**n stupid to turn them loose on it.

I loved watching Grape Ape when I was growing up. Grrrape Ape! Dang that sucks. I was gonna suggest swapping torch hands. However you've already tried that. So that shoots that to hell. Maybe you could get a brace for that arm. Go from lower bicep to wrist. I'm gonna talk with some of my welding friends and see what we can scheme up.

We get a big printed out sign that reads, "Your tax dollars at work!" Then goes on to list the cost breakdown of labor, equipment, materials, income for the year, and finally the total cost. I always wonder how many wrecks have happened from people trying to read the sign while driving by it.

That sums it up perfectly. Hell son your a fitter. Learn to weld pipe. Fitters that can weld are in high demand. Just requires a steady hand and some know how. Expand your trade. Also. How the Hell did you know they nicknamed me Magilla?

That's the biggest negative. I got this dang goatee around 4 and half inches long, at least when its in curled. I'm kinda attached to it, if you will.

I just can't bring myself to leave construction right now. I know the money is great. However, on a good year I can bring home around 75 or 80 grand thanks to over time. I really enjoy running pipe, bending conduit, welding structures and other things, walking I beams, and never being on the same jobsite more than a year. Its always something new. I can't bring myself to change my appearance and mannerisms for that kind of work. It would feel to me, like selling out.

Mgmt. nothing. That's compensation for being a regular maintenance man. The maintenance foreman is salary there. The foreman position makes 80g a year. I'm no where near qualified for that. I'm not knocking maintenance positions when I say bored. The bulk of the job, aside from preventative maintenance is, wait for something to break. Even then preventative maintenance there is minimal. This place is small in terms of pharma manufacturing.

Here goes. Maintenance spot just opened at a pharma plant I built three years ago. Pharma plant. Pay is around 28-34 an hour. Paid insurance, 80 hrs vacation, 40hours sick time, paid holidays, 401k, paid college books and tuition. Pros: all the above. Except college. I would sooner drown myself then have to deal with that. Cons: No gnarly tradesmen beard! Have to wear khakis and a golf style collared shirt, also low cut steel toes. Working for an international company. Real possibility of relocation once or multiple times over an extended period of time. Have to conform to a more white collar attitude and temperament. Current Gig. Pay 20-?. 40hrs vacation after 1 year 80hrs after 2 years. Paid holidays, starting 401k in December, company cellphone and work truck that gets to go home with you, company pays for my families cellphone plan also. Pros. All the above. Plus I can move higher in this company quickly. Only three others out of the 20 employees have my diversified construction back ground. Family based company, I really feel like a family member here. Can be myself, don't have to assimilate to a white collar mind set. No set dress code for the most part. Get to train and watch my helpers grow into Electricians. Cons. No set hours. Lay offs do happen. Various other things related to be a contractor. Physically demanding work as opposed to pharma plant which is lay back and chill. May have to lift 25lbs at pharma plant. I'm leaning towards staying put. I got a good thing going right now between my company and my old company. Plus I think I may get bored as hell being a carpet walking maintenance man. Ughhh. But the money is very enticing. However money ain't everything and construction makes me happy. But the d**n money is good. However, I can't get my masters licence while working at a plant in a maintenance position. I believe I'm gonna just stay a dirty, scruffy, construction sparky. What's halls take?

I post status updates every time I hit the plastic outhouse. People are so interested in what I'm doing, so I give them what they want! **** to talk about!

Cut me in 50 grand, and I'll personally make sure he repays the mil and the royalties. Got pipe wrench and blowtorch, will travel.

I Would love to go out west and do a back country hunt. We are doing miniature versions of those here. Least that's what the three of us are attempting to do. The closest wildlife management area to is is Cahaba. Its about a thirty minute drive from the house. All the others are around an hour to an hour and a half.

Hey Yankee Boys. I gotta question. What are town selectmen? It seems to ba a Yankee term. So I figured maybe y'all could enlighten this poor white trash down heya.

Cahaba River and Black Warrior. Also looking at Sipsey Wilderness, Talladega, and Bank Head National Forest.

Practicing my bow shooting. Experimenting with different broad heads. Scouting locations deep in the woods. Getting in hiking shape. Aside from hunting some private land on my BIL's uncles farm, and his neighbors farms. We are going at it differently this year. No blinds, no tree stands, no shooting houses. We are going all bow all year. We are stalk hunting deep woods this year. No plots and no supplemental feedings. We got 6 total cameras out in two WMA and the Wilderness down here. Plus we can hog hunt and scout at the same time. So Bonus!

ROFLMFAO!!! I just sprayed beer across the room!!!

Now wait a d**n minute. 300 to 350 yards equals out to 900 to 1050 feet. so ha my math skills are working today.

Reading comprehension. My math skills are working perfectly today. All my pipe bends are working out perfect. All my pipe geometry is flawless right now. Its just one of those good math days for me. Besides who gives pipe length in yards? Sheesh. It ain't concrete. I'm in the zone right now. All numbers are appearing as feet and inches. I read yards and my brain translated it as feet. Stupid electrician brain.
