Kinda curious if woodchuck tastes good. Hmmmmmmm.....

CKy was the reason I was such a rotten teenager. Those are still my favorite movies of all time. The rental car skit is a all time classic. Rabb Himself eating the thirteen xlaxes and running down the street was hysterical too.

Brandon DiCamillo did it way better in one of the cKy movies. He also did fire in the hole at the drive thru, and then sung about it, which still cracks me up. Here it is. http://m.youtube.com/index?desktop_uri=%2F&gl=US#/watch?v=qIBo2WXy7A4

Thank you for your service Homie. I can't even imagine what you and yours are going through. I appreciate the sacrifice you are making for us, more than simple words can describe. If there is anything I can do for you or your family while you are gone just hit me up. Again Thank you for what you are doing for us. God bless and get back safe.

Those are some nice boots there. If I just didn't like the lineman and logger boots so much I would jump on those. Also from everything I've heard Danner makes a hell of a boot.

Thats cool as hell. You do some dang good work.

My rates only increase. Family is free. Friend of family is free. Geriatrics I'll do there work for dirt cheap. Gotta respect the elderly. Everyone else its 100+ an hour depending on the job and my mood.

Well Carolina is no longer making the 231's. So I'm trying a different pair of Carolinas. If they don't fit right Im gonna have to try some redwing logger boots. I'm just having a hard time convincing myself to spend 400+ on work boots. Even if the are lifetime warranted.

I like the sign idea. That is priceless.

Not clowns in General. Just that one. Im fine with the rest of em. And Im with u 100% on that wretched doll. I'm still not a big fan of that wretched doll.

I believe i read they are getting ready to remake IT. If only they would have gotten Rob Zombie to direct the remake.

It goes with the territory Homie. I get asked electrical questions all the time. Personally at the going rate of skilled labor to come out to your house I can understand why. It's part of the joys of life. Look at it like this, I don't know the first thing about taxes or most anything to do with accounting. Now how much do you know about residential electrical work? (If you are knowledgeable about it, then for the sake of this point, play dumb). Now for me to come out to your house to tell you what's wrong with your lights it is 100 dollars an hour, just for me to show up. That's not even including me doing anything. Now if you were to call me and explain what's going on, and I could diagnose over the phone it wouldn't cost you squat. See where Im going with this? Me helping a friend out with the knowledge I possess can save them money. It goes with the territory of possessing knowledge of a skill or trade that others do not. I say just enjoy it for what its worth. And try not to stress over it too much.

Who is the scariest clown of all? Or if you prefer which clown haunted the dreams of more people? I'm gonna have to go with Pennywise the Dancing Clown, AKA IT. That frickin movie messed my eight year old mind up for years. Here's a picture of my old buddy, for those of you that have been living under a rock for the last twenty years.

So after much exhaustive research I have narrowed it down to three pairs. Carolina 231's, WESCO Highliners, and WESCO Jobmasters. All 3 meet the primary criteria of being US made. Asian made boots don't last for more than 6 months. These will last for years. My last pair of Carolinas lasted 6 yrs. The WESCO's are supposed to last for twenty plus years. However the WESCO's are 300 more than the Carolina boots as they have to be customed made, due to me wearing a 14ee or 15d. So whats yalls take? Any of you non carpet walkers ever owned a pair of WESCO's?

Baby boy wants to be just like daddy. So he has three pairs of boots, 1 pair of trainers, and a pair of tevas. Shoes are easy to get for him. Bass pro and academy all the way.

Dang it boy. Gives a whole new meaning to getting your teeth rattled right there.

Yup sure did. It was my SureFire too. Even then I still failed to notice that evil little box sitting there.

^^^^^What he said. ^^^^^ People need to stop getting all butt hurt about everything. Mommy! mommy! The man on tv said the G word. Mommy! wahhhhhhh wahhhh! Children cant play "house" in school cause not everyone lives in a house. Now its called "home living". What if I live in a box and don't have a home? What is wrong with society! And no its not just religion its everything. The world needs to learn to just let stuff go. Meine Gött!!!

That is so true. We had an electrician that I worked with at my last company that we called Smokey. Him and another two electricians were working a shut down at a pharm plant we built, I was on vacation that week so I wasnt around. Anyway he had a 480 volt 8000 amp switch gear arc out in his face. Put him in the burn unit for a couple weeks. Kept him outta work for about six months also. He joked about it after he got back and said he was one of the only electricians that could say they shut down five city blocks worth of industrial plants and warehouses with his face, and lived to tell about it. Hence how he got the name Smokey.

Well played sir. Very well played.

That woulda been the last hook he ever threw. My 9mm would have made sure of that. Cause I got 30 little friends and one in the chamber. Unless I have both glocks with me, then I have 60 little friends and two in the chambers. I love high cap magazines.

Depending on the circumstances generally yes. Again that depends on what type of work is being done to it. In this case the store required either the neon or the florescents and incandescents to remain hot. Being I was working on the florescent lamps and the locations of the incandescent lamps they were turned off. The neon with the exception of this transformer. Was at a distance that contact should not have been a problem.

Was already in a grumbly mood about having to work outside today. It is freaking raining hard as hell down here, and electrictity and water go great together. Still though it could be worse I think to myself. I'm used to working in the rain and other less than ideal conditions. It goes with the trade. Anyway, the main part of the job I need to get done is fixing some lighting in the marquee over the front of the restraunt. No biggie except I have to climb into from the access holes mounted on top. I catch a break in the rain and drop through a hole into the sign. Working by feel I get the three lamps popped in and hop out and power it back up. Nothing, Nada, Zilch. So I gotta go back into said marquee again. Opening the middle access, I start to climb back into the sign. Now this sign runs off its own 120Volt sub panel which is mounted to the sign. It has 4 ckts. for incandescent lamps, 2 ckts. for florescent lamps (which was what I was doing today), and 9 ckts running neon lamps. Yes its that big. Anyway, while climbing into said sign my pant leg rolled up on my right leg some. As I set that foot down and was climbing off the built in step ladder my calf made contact with the secondary from a neon transformer. (someone installed it and just set it on top of the enclosure instead of putting it back in like the were supposed to.) I took all 15kv from that wretched little box into my right calf and out my left arm. My friends it was pain beyond pain. Pain of which I have never experienced before and hope to never again. I honestly wanted to die. It lasted about four seconds, and that was enough for me for a life time. Oh and theres no damage to myself just two small red spots on my leg. Now for a little info on neon lighting. Neon runs off of a transformer, as I have already stated. In order to make it illuminate it takes high voltage and thusly uses low amperage. By increasing voltage you lower amperage. The typical transformers in big signs push between 6kv and 15kv. But only use 30-60millie amps. Also with a transformer you have primary and secondary windings. In this case the primary feed is 120volts and the secondary output is 15000volts.

Cant go wrong with the 580s. There is a huge difference what u can see with them over the 480s. My wife has 2 pairs of 480s and I have two pairs of 580s. You can definitely see the difference.

They definitely seem to hold onto whatever they stick into. Be it fish or human. So I'd say they are worth the price. Like ChrisAW said they dang sure penetrate.
