MustardFacial posted:I've started looking for a new job because I can't stand working for my parents any longer. I came across an ad for a diesel mechanic for Canadian Pacific, working on diesel locomotives and I'm thinking about applying for it. From what the ad says I could probably enter as a trainee, and work my way up from there. Working on trains sound super loving cool to me, but apart from that I know next to nothing about the locomotive industry. Any AI goons have high praise (or warnings)? They train you, all you need to know is do as you are told and work safely. You may be way over qualified but its simple work and its going to involve shifts nights/weekends/etc. But the money can't be beat!

I get made fun of for having an "out dated" phone. Its a droid xt907 and you know what, the drat thing takes a licking and keeps on ticking. gently caress it, I hate getting a new phone then trying to relearn all the drat settings and poo poo. Plus it was free But I am always a generation or 10 behind every one else when it comes to phones. Also part of the Fast7 crew now. God drat, after 4 that poo poo got pretty awesome.

I worked in the yards, so I never really gained weight, as I was pretty physically active (these days not so much - I need to get after myself) But she was always doing the thing of the day which included: -Buying her a elliptical to the tune of 800 bucks that was used exactly 5 times -Zumba work outs to the tune of 200 bucks and was used 3 times -A gym membership that was used exactly 4 times (I dont remember the cost) -A YMC membership that was only used the day she signed up Ugh, what a frustrating woman. Never happy, constantly wanting more and never happy with what she had. Sorry for E/N here.... that was uncalled for.

I trimmed the fat as well. I like Facebook for a more of a photo album as I hate dealing with imgurs app. I have quite a few hidden albums for uploads of various stuff. Plus I like AI people on Facebook. They always post the coolest stuff. Edit: I also found that the less fake friends I have the more "real" friends in real life. Mostly because I'm a less miserable rear end hat and just happier in general. Its not a popularity contest. BrokenKnucklez fucked around with this message at 05:19 on Apr 14, 2015 |

Some times the wives just like a nice boring car. Because with out them, our driveways would be filled full of broken dreams, tears and oil stains. The CR-V is a kick rear end vehicle though. Not to crow about the Hyundai Santa Fe, but its worth a look. We test drove one when we were looking for the GFs new ride, and it was a very competent CUV Edit: The Santa Fe Sport does come with a 2.0 turbocharged 4 banger, its even decent on fuel FWIW.

'murica. I don't want to get into huge debates about it, but we never invest in ourselves with quality health care, education and so on, but instead make it almost a crime to be "poor" like the latest rounds against welfare. I commented the other day on a facebook status about how they think people shouldn't get hand outs from others etc etc. I casually pointed out that the mortgage interest tax credit is a free hand out, along with the those roads, that while we all pay taxes to use roads, that the truckers pay a much higher percentage of road taxes vs his fuel efficient car, so you know, he can thank those truckers. My comment was deleted quickly.

Re: Spouse chat I am glad mine has friends that are pretty tolerable. Most of her friends husbands are into smoking meat, shooting guns, and a few other things that interest me. She likes hanging out with most of my friends, but their spouses are a bunch of stick in the mud type people. But FWIW - I really don't care for most of my friends spouses - its not like they are lovely or awful people, but they aren't super huge into the things I like. Liquid Communism posted:Jesus titty-loving Christ I hate previous owners. Watch Mills Fleet Farm ad, they run a special on the Hobart Auto Arc 130 for 350ish- Its a 110v unit, comes with a cart, regulator, helmet and machine, and a bonus, the Auto Arc 130 is "last years" Miller. Even when you pull the manual up online, it pops up as Miller and no mention of Hobart. I know we live in the same area - shoot me a PM if you want to try mine out. I need to get a bottle on mine, but I have flux core, and once you get poo poo dialed in, its smokey and has a little more spatter than MIG.

kastein posted:Whoops, sorry, I am not saying that you guys could be replaced by computers. What I meant was "I dunno why anyone capable of flying a commercial airliner actually puts up with the poo poo pay and horrible hours/stress to do so". I would become a pilot for a corp jet or ultra rich eccentric with his own fleet in a second, but flying cattle cars around in the sky full of ornery passengers and getting poo poo on by the company for it while they dick you over pay wise? Fuuuuuck no. You have my undying respect for actually sticking to that because I don't think I would ever make it keep working. I actually sat next to a pilot last trip - he was dead heading home, we got to bullshitting about work, etc. My job - hours suck, being away from home sucks, but at least I am paid pretty decently for it all. He was making half of what I made for way more bullshit, more hours, and less sleep. Why on earth some one would do that poo poo for what they make is beyond me (again the love of flight) He was actually asking me about working for the RR, so I gave him all the specifics, he emailed me today and said that he is applying. Liquid Communism posted:Yeah, I'm not terribly worried about pretty. Gonna cover the bottom quarters with bed liner anyway since I spend so much time on gravel and salt that they're inevitably hosed. If you can get a 220V mig, do it, but be prepared to shell out some cash. I know the entry level Hobart 220v model is the Handler 190, which runs around 700. The mid level model is 1500. But if you can afford a 220 machine, get it. SiF uses a chinesium model that is a good bang for the buck as well. Everlast and Longevity welders seem to be rated pretty high, and they are also good bangs for the buck. Just don't go with a HF model or some eBay special, because those are absolute trash. Edit: I forgot - add in safety gear too, gloves, welding apron, helmet, etc. Just don't get the cheaper auto darkening, get a good one.
