How'd it go today?

[RIVERRAT]

Ever use the Rig-guy wire stops for termination ends?

I used them for the last 4 steel systems I installed, and love them.

No more threaded rod, eye bolts, thimbles, or cable grips. Just drill, pass cable thru hole and install wire stops.

THEY ROCK!!!!!

 

[MasterBlaster]

I'd tell them I was shitfaced.

imagine trying to explain that to the adjuster over the phone.

Sure sir and what kind of illegal drugs have you been abusing today.

 

[Rotax Robert]

[stehansen]

You've obviously never been to PT at a military installation... LOL


Gary

Point taken.

 

[GASoline71]

Since I have my military retired medical benefits I still use the Naval Hospital for my medical.

I just went in for another appointment yesterday afternoon... the doc referred me to Orthopedics and for PT... So I poked my head in to the PT area to take a look see...

There was a fairly attractive young gal (civilian) sitting behind a desk doing some paperwork, and there were a couple of Navy Enlisted "Docs" that were assisiting other patients. There were a few patients on treadmills and using big pilates type balls to do stretching excercises with.

Nothing like it used to be... or like the last time I went to PT... so it looks like things have changed a bit. At least the scenery has.

[MasterBlaster]

Aren't you getting physical therapy mixed up with physical training?

 

[GASoline71]

Nah... I am meaning Physical Therapy when I am saying "PT".

The Navy now uses the term "PRT". Physical Readiness Training. instead of PT.

Go figure huh? Acronyms change every couple of years now it seems.

[Bodean]

Wow, Willie, Are you going to Disneyland?

That's great news, Congratulations!

 

[SkwerI]

Glad that referral worked out for you, Willie. You can thank me later with the 5% commission like we discussed.

 

[SkwerI]

Oh, today I spent another couple hours at a buddy's house. He's turned into my 'fiberglass repair tech' and has been patching my bucket for me when I crack it. Today was the final coat on a patch from a small crack I put in it last week. Good as new!

 

[MasterBlaster]

Sweet. Fiberglass is relatively easy to work with.

Whassup with your getting a new bucket truck?

 

[Bodean]

I pruned and deadwooded a 160' Doug Fir.
Great View of the Woodacre Valley
Once I got to the top I went for the camera and noticed, Change Battery Pack.

Good-Day anyway.

I pruned and deadwooded a 160' Doug Fir.

Other that a 425' radio tower, I can't imagine climbing a tree that tall. Awesome!

haha checks in the mail brian

Sweet. Fiberglass is relatively easy to work with.

Whassup with your getting a new bucket truck?

I did some thinking about A) my financial position and B) my financial goals and decided that keeping my current truck will get me to my goals faster than buying a new truck.

haha checks in the mail brian

Yeah, I've heard that excuse before.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Good thinking, B.

 

[stehansen]

picked up a 60 grand ins job today from a guy lives in fla.!!

Sweet. Need any help?

 

[sotc]

maybe if the phone keeps ringing, its a fire damage job, a big portion of which ill probably sub out to someone with a skid steer and fecon/ loftness head.

 

[squisher]

What all will you have to do Willie?

 

[sotc]

pruning out fire damaged brush, branches and trees. it looks like a fast moving grass fire so it didnt do much to the bigger trees. he also wants me to remove mistletoe from some of the affected trees and some trees that were already dead to minimize fire danger next year. looks like the neighbor was burning his brush piles on this property and it got away from him. ooopps

 

[squisher]

Sweet man! That must be a great job to pick-up this time of year, good for you.

 

[sotc]

should help get through the winter!
