Seriously. Maybe give him a heads up that he should start looking (which sucks right now) if you trust that he wouldn't call you out for whistle blowing.

He's also got a kid due any minute now. What sucks, is we are both advanced level euro techs, and we have been just about everywhere looking for an employer that appreciated their people. It's just been one letdown after the other. I make decent money, or at least I did before schools shuttered, but I would say I could take a 15k a year cut, to add some years back to my life expectancy, mainly due to stress but also environmental hazards.

The worst part of all this, is I met with the owner at least 3 times before joining up, and this was not the picture that was painted of what the fastest growing independent shop in Ohio should look like. This fucker even turned down the CARES program because of "stipulations".

Yeah but if he sticks around they're not going to do right by him. He'll be out of work anyway, just with more health issues to boot.

I'm not saying it's a bad thing to consider, but I think places like that take advantage of loyalty to coworkers to try and get people to ignore stuff that'll get someone killed. It's a problem you can only address a small bit of, by making that call.

I just told him I was planning on calling. He said "I don't care." So, yea.

Even if he said don't, he's the kind of dude that likes to ignore bright warning signs, so, love him to death, I would have probably made the call anyway. Thanks for listening, thread

I once got lost trying to get a glass of water from the kitchen after a particularly strong strain hit me harder than I expected. Climbing under that influence sounds like a really bad day at the office, except missing a milestone at work doesn't mean plummeting towards the ground (and whatever else is within striking distance) at a high rate of speed.

Yosemite during the initial climbing boom was just a ton of people doing shitloads of drugs and alcohol and putting up batshit routes. The movie cliffhanger was loosely based on an incident where a plane full of pot went down in a remote area and the only people who could get to it were climbers. A few people also put up first ascents on LSD

Watching Dave's videos you get to hear him squeaking non-stop for 30-40 minutes - I have yet to find a way to make a HL-NPC behave that way without cheating.

A special little note from the WFA class I took is to ask people if they've taken anything when doing first aid, because people who are off their gourd may appear to have the D from ABCDE. As in they might appear to be concussed or otherwise suffering from an injury-induced mental problem.

You ride up the wall at an angle, and then down the wall at an angle, and so on until you've built up enough speed to keep it straight.

Probably with the car you just start with one side on the wall and the other on the dirt until you've got it going fast enough.
