How'd it go today?

It's all good brothers. Like I said, different strokes for different folks.

I have no regrets, just enjoying my new path. Some of the replies read like I'm retired or something but far from it. I'll still be slogging it out for another couple of decades. Atleast.

Justin, get over yourself already (is that right?) it?s not about you anymore!:)
 
I love A/C leakstop. They work great IMHO. Some of the mobile A/C fittings are rated to hold pressure, not a vacuum. I've found the orings tend to get sucked into the connection and ever so slowly leak under a vacuum. I go by a loss of 5in/hg per hour is acceptable in mobile A/C. Pretty sure I read that somewhere.

As for tiny bubbles, they don't make me feel fine. Hmmm. Leakstop does work with rotating seals....
 
Justin you mentioned using huge machines are you using at the new job, what are they? I don't even know what your new occupation is, if you've mentioned it.
 
He has not....:/:

Ha that was good, Jim

I'm going with the last pic, Squish be building big bridges, fast.
 
I had eluded to it ages ago.

Plywood plant. So still sort of tree related. I have been assimilated by the Borg.


I would quit in a heartbeat for a full time zamboni operator position though.
 
Are there still plenty of peelers, just smaller? Or are they still taking big logs to your mill?
 
Soda pop cleans ATF from customer's concrete driveway...details after the break, but first, HOA bid for a dead tree reveals 12 dead and dying bodies. Alders and doug-fir reportly dying from a combination of site impact from construction, drought, and a lack of mulch and irrigation. Were the neighbors surprised to find out that when they looked up from the sap-weeping, triple-trunked base of the large doug-fir tree overhanging their home and patio, it was dying. They were shocked to see that trees existed above 40', if only you look up.

Big small we peel them all, not really. Mostly all bigger wood for peelers, smaller stuff is milled into lumber. I'm on the plywood side, not the mill side. It comes to us peeled, veneer. We dry it, compose it and glue it together, and fill it and sand it.

You may have alluded to it but it seems you also may have eluded, too....:D

Words can be such fun to pl(a)y with....

Ha ha ha. True. I am allusive and elusive all at the same time...........I think?:whine::|:
 
Wordplay is great... like when we were working on the lagoon job, we had to avoid the effluvial fan (not an alluvial fan)!
 
I really would like to have a life outside of work, but then I think about how much I dislike most people and I definitely don't want to do anything involving large crowds,

You seem to frequently almost brag about your dislike of most people. Curious. Anyway, aren't there a bazillion things to do that don't involve large crowds??
 
Wife does the office but I run the crew/do the appts/write estimates/write bills:barf:
 
I dictate the onsite details into iPhone, handwrite the estimate at home, scan and email it. I'd like something that could convert the dictation to print so I wouldn't have to write.

Prior to a about a year ago I wrote 99% of all estimates onsite at initial visit. Now I write 99% of them at home, as above.
 
Cory, have you thought about hiring someone part-time to do the paperwork and make some of your phone calls for you?

I have a girl that checks my phone messages, returns calls to customers, gets all of the bid info, and writes up all of my bids, among other things. She works an hour or two a day(which means I have an extra 10 hours a week to do more important things).
