What did you accomplish today?

Just another Detroit shoprat.

We were never rats. Showed our faces everyday. Management scurrying around in seclusion now. I raise my glass in toast to WE. Cheers.

Thanks, I was a tool and diemaker, first in job shops, then at Chrysler, then GM. I spent 5 years as a salary engineer, it was ok, but I was glad to go back to the tools. I guess I just didn’t have the social skills to be a good salary guy. Hope you are enjoying your retirement.

Good luck. One of my brothers fell off a truck and fractured his skull. They wouldn’t let him back to work. The day after he filed, they were videotaping getting his mail.

All good. Another voice to add to the impending roar. Be well.

Spent 15 hours fighting a house fire this weekend. I'm sore as fuck. It was believed to be arson and the feds are involved. Had to take the house apart board by board so they could run a dog through.

LOL it turned out absolutely perfect! Pulled it out at 130° and let it rest for 15 minutes. It was a little bloodier than I like, but my mom loved it so I'm happy. I was ambitious tried to make yorkshire pudding too, that didn't go nearly as well. That was an obscene amount of meat for three people.

Stupid fucking homeowners did a risk assessment and banged me for a trampoline and "debris and rubbish". So now I got to tell the kid we have to get rid of her trampoline. And figure out what they constitute as "debris and rubbish". As a homeowner and speciality contractor, you just acquire shit. I don't think any of its "debris and rubbish". It's treasures lol. 'merika fuck yeah.

Beautiful end-grain cutting board too. Do you know the woods in it?

It's about 2.5 hrs to the ocean, plenty of rivers/lakes around to swim in, but not this time of year. Edit: the ocean is COLD around here.
