What you do for a living (work, job)?

Work in a coal fired power generating station as a machinist/vibration analyst. Soon to have my 39th year there. Coal plants in our area are soon to be dinosaurs. Never been a better time to be near retirement with that looming for our soon to be extinction. Learned a ton over the years and worked with some very fine folks.

 

How old are you now?

 

17

 

nice! @Thegr8punkin is no longer the youngest member!

Nice to see the younger generations having goals! Good on you!




FML....I just made myself feel old....I sounded like my mother

 

Lol thank you, i thought it was discussed that im the youngest. Anyhow, I appreciate it

 

Hahaha old balls

 

Quality control for a limousine and motor coach company

 

ethan1911, what does that run for a night?

 

We don’t rent them so I cant say for certain but you can buy one for around $250,000

 

WOW!!!
Well thats a lil rich for my blood

 

That's awesome. In a sense I am selfish. I totally get a rush from helping people. The gratification out weighs the failure. Yes there are a lot of assholes and self intitled people out there. They will get there's in time. For the most part no one wants to come see us, but they need us.

And the second best part of my job is job security...I can go anywhere as anything with the right education and training. There are a lot of departments that require RN's to function. It can take time to find the right fit...but worth the wait.

Those things are totally annoying. We hear them in our dreams! But like you said, people rely on them. They are needed. I am glad there are people out there like you that can install them in our busy places. Sometimes it's a wonder how people don't run into each other more often.

 

I may have missed it or forgetful....I'm apparently old

 

Insert party dance here no longer the youngest!

Well bri, if it's any consolation, you always sound like a mother when we talk. Just let me be young and dumb

more then apparently




And @Matty4wd, you god damn gen Zer

 

Says the dude that dailys a lexus sports car....

 

I feel old at 32 because my work has been hiring people fresh out of college and I'll make references to 90s pop culture and I get blank stares and crickets in return. . . *sigh* time marches on. Stay strong Bri . . .

 

Depends on your definition, I paid 1100 for the matrix.....

 

Between Chris’s first link, and this:

Which one is expensive?

 

Fair enough, especially for a 6.0. I'm just jaded on price because I got my tundra so cheep

 

Yeah, I didn’t even notice it was a Sick Liter until I’d posted. But if you saw somebody driving that truck daily you probably wouldn’t think twice, unlike the Lexus of the same price. My father-in-laws Ford 6L was by far the most expensive vehicle per mile of any light vehicle I’ve ever personally witnessed (and that included some mighty cheap labour) while my dad owned and drove a Mercedes diesel for 16 years (1976, back when they knew quality over luxury) and the darn thing was an economy car when you crunch the numbers. Not all is what appears on the surface.

Nothing wrong at all with shopping hard for good deals like you do. I do the same, just working my way “up” over the years.

 

Lol gen zero is full of those kids strapped to their ipads and watch yt all day. I fall into the generation full of blue collars, i like to think.

 

Well, dangit Chris. You got me looking at used Lexus sedans for sale around here, and I made the mistake of showing the Mrs. a 2008 IS 250 AWD with reasonable mileage for a decent price. Now she wants to go see it tomorrow. Gotta find out more details, but I know it will be fast as it is silver.

 

Ya.... last 2 vehicles now have been under a grand.... at least for purchase price total price, well let's just say I'm WAY more willing to spend on mods then I am on an actual vehicle

 

Damn it matty, I had to think a second about what yt is.... maybe I am getting old too.... BRI!!!! IM COMING TO TEXAS WERE GONNA DO YOUNG AND DUMB SHIT THAT WE SHOULDNT DO AT OUR AGE!!!


Jokes aside, good for you. Ac electric is not something I'm very familiar with. Just do me a favor, if you do do any wiring on your tundy, pls don't use wire nuts lol

 

Thanks man! Looking back toward 4cyl camrys before I saw this anyway. More room and cheaper, and much less cool. So much for keeping the old corolla ‘till next year. We’ll see. Idle hands are the devil’s playground.
