I agree with everything you typed.

Here in TN, a CCW is not required but I obtained mine anyway.  After a year living here, I've only seen one person display a sign of carrying.  The assumption is that EVERYONE is carrying yet I've only seen one.  I carry my P226 but during late Spring and Summer, the weather is just too hot to wear pants so I wear shorts every day which makes it more difficult to CC, particularly because I wear running shorts on the daily.  So, I carry it in my bag pack so I don't display any sign that I'm carrying.

But I hear running shorts are like pants on you… 😜

East pits is my go to these days. Kids love the big kiddy track about 1/2 mile out from the rd, unfortunately terra crew makes an appearance now and then recently for some reason they think its a good idea to drive their trucks at ricky racer speed on and through the kiddo tracks when kids are on it

I carry a loaded pistol for a reason. That’s a pretty good reason. Funny how becoming a dad changes who gets your wrath.

Speaking of water tanks, on a fractal trailer build I watched I saw their water tank setup, it was pretty sweet. On the side of the trailer there was a typical door for the water fill but it was actually a water pump switch and hose bib. So when you wanted to transfer to the Moho you just hooked up your hose to the hose bib and hit the switch. Probably a common way to do it I just never seen it done before. 

This is a must for me. We have a couple little kids and go through showers. A buddy has this in his enclosed and always ends up giving us his water before he leaves. He has a 100 gal tank mounted over the axles, it’s a pretty sweet setup. 

Just bought a 26’ enclosed, so this thread caught my eye. You guys have pictures of the insides of your trailers? 

I had that cars twin. I absolutely loved it. 

I will check when I get home to see if they are 15’s, but I have some tires you can have. They are in almost new shape. 

Wow that is a beast. So nice. 

That place looks awesome.  I just bought a house with a few acres and having room for everything is awesome. Lotta upkeep on it tho. Congrats.

Yes I am dating myself but AOL is still a thing.  

I’ve taken myself out on a few dates as well. No one loves me like I do. 
I always end up paying for dinner tho…

My post seems so boring after the previous post, not even worth talking about detailing my truck in the heat, you’re out there actually being a man. Be safe out there @GBR.

Seriously….. whoooooo cares….?  Do you really? If this is how you act when you have a drink then maybe you should stop for another year. 

I just started the night agent per your recommendation. So far so good. 
2 episodes in and I’m pretty sure it’s the lady, but who knows 🤷🏽‍♂️

I like guessing

Yep have an awesome plumber. His name is Luke Aguayo, Aguayo Plumbing. He’s the only plumber I’ll use anymore. I actually used him this week on some plumbing for our new house. Does good work and he’s always reasonable, but he’s usually busy.

I went into Costco last night, it was the longest lines I’ve seen in a while. I bought some dog food and 20 gallons of oil for some of the equipment. 
its going to rain a bit, can’t have enough oil. 

What is the story on the 59 Apache on the lift in the background? 

I couldn’t get through 30 seconds of that. That was a terrible song. 
He should be ashamed of himself for that hat he was wearing.

Glad to see it hasn't changed.

 

 

All good bud, don’t get your feelings hurt. If you can dish it, you should be able to take it. Right? Or no, is that not how that works…

THIS is Tyler's work. You're telling me you accept this kind of BS in your life and then push support for someone that charges for this kind of laziness? Like I said, everyone has different standards. Yours seem to be on the low side.

Oh. That’s bad. That’s not even trying to hide the fact you don’t care.

Can anybody confirm that these flat "Star Mount" enclosures work well?  I know the stock dish moves itself to aim, so not sure what you give up by having a fixed flat mount. I assume there must be a reason they went through the trouble to make the auto aiming base for the dish.

X2 on this. Im ordering one and I’d like to mount it to my Moho roof with one of the flat mounts. Curious on how well or not well it does. 

I have a older crew that is 40 and up with a foreman that is 64 that I hired last year (puts a bust to the 50+ hiring) and have a crew that is all under 23. The young buck crew I run. I’m becoming a good teacher. It’s not all about what you say but how you say it, and these kids actually do a kick ass job. I tell them all the time they are doing a great job, because I’m truly proud to see them learn and grow and mature as men, not only in their work but life. But I also push them hard when needed, sometimes more then they like, but it’s what they need. 
 

It’s not all perfect, but I will tell you, if you take an interest in your employees and actually care about them as people, they will move mountains for you. And that’s honestly what we do. 
 

I have also hired a lot of guys and fired them after a week or two because of their attitude or just being stupid and not taking direction. It’s almost like a filter and I keep the few good ones. It wreaks havoc on my books and workers comp hiring and firing. 
 

I guess this doesn’t help the OP in where to find good help. I don’t take good direction, I would probably fire me if I was an employee.

While not necessarily on topic with the original post, I'll share this.

As a job seeker, it has become almost impossible to keep up and give potential employers what they are looking for.  "Bob" has worked here 35 years and is retiring.  We need a replacement for "Bob".  So, employers write such a detailed list of requirements to fill "Bob's" shoes.  You will never find "Bob".  It shuts out and discourages so much other talent.  Whatever happened to OJT, training, giving someone a chance and grooming them for your needs?

Job listings are so detailed and now all this "keyword" crap.  Who can keep up?  Then, you have automated screening software.  And yes, I have entered the age of "age discrimination" (50 plus).

Here's a bit about me.  3 Master's degrees (one's an MBA).  Retired Naval Officer/pilot.  I managed major programs with over $5 billion in assets.  I am very dynamic, very adaptable, lots of experiences, leadership, process improvement.  I'm highly trained in crisis action planning, risk management, safety/crash investigation.  I currently manage government licensing and certification for a global logistics company.  The list goes on.  Yet, everyone tells me my resume isn't the problem, but apparently it is because I get rejections s fast as I submit the application.  

Guess what...none of that has ever helped me get a foot in the door.  The only way I got my current job was from a friend recommending me to the company.

AND...why list "remote" for the position when it means..."remote" in Chicago, Tampa, New York...  COVID showed us what "remote" is...it's not living/working in a city separate of the corporate office, it's at home and some travel involved.

If I was to lose my job or get fed up and quit, I'm just going back to being retired.  I'd love to keep working and padding my future and lifestyle, but it's not worth the endless rejections and not being "Bob" to fill the over detailed requirements.

I’ll hire you.
