  1. Are you going to start making your own tortillas/pickles?!?!
  2. I shouldn’t be, this is surly after all.
  3. You really are a fucking shit stain. She left behind two little kids that will never have their mom again.
  4. Before I dropped Facebook, I always got a kick out of our neighborhood page when the power went out. Sometimes there would be quite a few posts asking if everyone’s power was out. I always responded no because of our generator. They love that.
  5. Did you buy that rought iron patio furniture on shaggy?
  6. That’s similar to them misplacing key fobs all the damn time. Every time she’s looking for one the first thing I do is go out and see if the car will crank. 100% of the time it has. I walk back in and tell her I’ve narrowed down her search area.
  7. Interesting. I had to look and see why he was in Tyler. Apparently he was there filming a documentary on mother’s who raised famous musicians. He was there visiting Maranda Lambert’s mother who lives in Lindale. That would be pretty wild to see Dave Grohl in Tyler.
  8. Doesn’t he live in the neighborhood? Just go to his house (or do I have the wrong side of the interstate?) Have you tried Little Rock or Shreveport?
  9. If you are interested in E&I or electrical, you can go to the local IBEW union hall and get all the information for the apprenticeship program. The program allows you to work for a contractor during the day as an apprentice and go to school at night. They train you to be an electrician while you maintain steady income during the day. There is an aptitude test that you have to pass plus a board interview for the program, but based on my experience they let just about anyone in. ymmv. If you want to work as a general mechanic at some refinery or mill, you have to go to school first and have your cert before they will even talk to you. My mill requires multi craft mechanics so you would have to be able to weld in addition to electrical and instrumentation (for instance). We are actually hiring now for mechanics, but it sounds like you don’t have the experience/training. I think they top out somewhere around $40/hour. Any questions, let me know.
  10. A friend of mines cousin is married to Mark Cuban’s brother. Do I need to put in a call? lol
  11. Haha. An even better one is that we have a label with the mill emergency number on the spyder phone. The conference call number is hanging on the wall in the conference room. I watched a co-worker give out the emergency number as the conference call number one time. It didn’t take them long to call back and ask for the correct number. This same person also dialed the emergency number himself thinking it was the conference call key code.
  12. Damn at this rate Icono could’ve built 10,000 bridges and still be known as a cocksucker on Surly.
  13. Yup. I’ve been on a couple of calls where either I or someone else has muted the call and then accidentally hung up instead of turning off the mute because both buttons look the same and are right next to each other.
  14. So you are saying that Southwest spent 100 million per plane times 34 planes and did not know that a particular safety function did not work? Haha. Either their lying to save face or their acceptance testing sucks a dick. Either way they have blame. We spend “millions” of dollars on control systems upgrades and every single I/O and control is checked and rechecked. We spend months on simulators going through everything before we do an upgrade. There can’t be any way that my standards for acceptance are higher than what Southwest says theirs is. If there is a flaw, we find it through testing or simulation, I don’t depend on the vendor/contractor to tell me. I damn sure wouldn’t fill it with 300 people and put it in the sky without knowing exactly what it’s going to do.
  15. He has three within the span of 4-6 months.
  16. Yea this could really be fucked up for those of us who live in Texas but work or travel out of Arkansas. One of our mills is in the northern part of Kentucky which is central time. The closest major airport is in Louisville which is eastern time. It’s funny the number of people who miss flights due to not remembering the time zone difference.
  17. I work with an engineer who will look at his phone to see who is calling and then just let it ring. I don’t know if he doesn’t know how to turn the ringer off or just doesn’t want to. His ring tone is also just two minions talking so it’s about two minutes worth of nonsense. He also still has the “clicks” turned on for his keypad so every time he sends a text or answers a email all you hear is click click click....
  18. But she got 165$ in gift cards for spending 4000$.
  19. I thought this was a Chad Briscoe thread. I’m more disappointed it’s real.
  20. Do you start with the back titties or the front ones?
