I'm thinking I'm gonna bring my welder home just in case I have any long lasting power outages this winter

Last year the record for me was 28hrs

Well first time in several months I got to enjoy a nice relaxing swim in my pool..............so warm and soothing.

I thought the 300 gal was for fish?

It is but the 16,000 gal is for me :lol:

good morning Canreef! :morning:

Morning!

~Tony

Morning. With Felicia in kindergarten now, daddy and mommy HAVE to become morning people, even though daddy is really a night owl. Ugggh. Coffee - Great idea. Off tot he kitchen now.

Good morning to you too!!

Better have 2 cups of coffee :)

Maybe 3 :wink:

Well Felicia is in class so daddy can go back to bed. Hehehehe. Have the coffee when I wake up again.

Good morning back to you!

I hear you Anthony! I was/am NOT a morning person either! But now that Jaeden is in grade 1 I have to mobilize him (and Kira) to get him to the bus stop at 7:30.. Ugh. Last year when he was in kindergarten it was only half days and we opted for the afternoon to ease into it :lol:

ugg I woke up at 930... Too early

5:45. Slept in :)

I think that's about when I fell asleep

Yup passed my testing today with flying colors :) very pleased.

First time welding half inch http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/...ps8f570260.jpg

Ya. That just happened for real. Lol

Congrats
I was wondering where you were

So when's that tank getting wet ?

Oh I've been lurking in the shadows. But mostly just been busy renovating. We're working on the kitchen right now but we're just doing half at a time cause we're living here now.

Hope to post up some pictures soon.

Tank is wet now in the garage testing for leaks as its custom and there were some bubbles. Its holding water as of today after curing for a week. Then it comes in til I'm ready to stock. I'm working on some other things for it now but thats for another day.
Well thats the life story. Ha. Good to have a box of water again.

Congrats ken on the weld and bout time you got wet again

Thanks Nick. Its just a freshwater tank for now but we'll see how things go. Just to busy for salt right now.

Nice weld, finally got the results back from my all position flux core cwb and flat ss flux core after waiting 3 months for results...
Passed everything

That is a nice weld and I my hang a pic of that in the coffee room of the shipyard to give the boys a goal

I work shift work and it is very difficult to make people understand that I can't just go out for the day or stay up all day when I have to work nights or work the weekends I find it very ironic and entertaining and annoying that most people have little understanding of a shift worker and that I don't get the same days off that they do or that I can't go somewhere cause I have to sleep or go to bed depending on what shift I work.

I work 4 12 hr shifts 2 day shifts 2 night shifts and 4 days off and my days off change every single week. It is actually quite difficult to explain that shift to most people but I have been working it for 18 yrs now and I love it. However again it is difficult to explain to people that I can't do this go there or do that and add in to the fact that I never have the same days off week after week and it really confuses people.

Sorry I was woken up one too many times today and was a little grumpy and somewhat surly with my words but only got 5 hrs left in my shift bed will be good today.

Haha thank you. Tell your boys that I don't even have my 1st year ticket yet either. Lol. Just beginners luck ;)

Happy Friday the 13th! Gonna be a looooooooong day!

If you are a business and you ask clients to leave a VM to be contacted back.

WHY DON'T YOU CONTACT THE CLIENT BACK?!!!!

Logically, how can I spend money with your business on your good and services if you never want to acknowledge your customers?

That's retail in Canada for you.

Favourite new saying

"If you don't drive a truck, no matter how sweet the ride, how fast it is or how cool looking it is it ain't worth talking about if it ain't a truck"

Love it

My Turck brings all the boys to the yard, and I'm like my truck is better than yours! And they're like mine's better than yours... lol obviously I'm busy at work!

and how annoying is that???

Threw out half a bucket of coral skeletons last night.... Feeling heavy hearted

Ouch.. Sorry to hear.. Been there, done that, got the (wet) t-shirt.

Crappy...... I guess on the upside you have room for more coral now....

So angry right now....some folks have no clue what being human means.... sometimes you just want to take someone and smack them up the side of the head and say WTF...if only that was enough.....makes me sick....

sometimes?? :)

Repeatedly into a brick wall, and it still wouldn't do any good. I am not a violent person, but I'd be willing to make an exemption!

Theirs a saying "Money will not being you happiness". The person who thought of this saying did not live pay check to pay check. Money would be a good start.
