It is a supervisor job already and I am just fine with that. I was highly successful in the Army so now I just want a nice job that pays decent and close to home. Work a few more years, pay down a few bills, save some and then retire for good and do some traveling.

One of my buddies got out of surgery and is finally moving around. Got shot execution style after a mugging. Entered the neck, exited the neck, and entered the arm. nig nogs.

So happens I almost pulled mine this weekend too. Hand on the gun, slowly coming out. Till the situation subsided. What the hell is going on in the world.

I have my thoughts but this is not the right place to discuss it, but this kinda sums it up

It was more of an informal meet and greet with some of the supervisors but it went very well. One guy told to me I should apply for an open position they have right now. I reworked my resume and submitted my application this morning so I have my fingers crossed.

What happened to the days of a good old fashioned butt whooping when 2 people disagreed? Yea it's getting bad.

Unfortunately, it has become the land of lawsuits and bureaucracy. So things take 3 times longer because people are sue-happy :/

Well guys, got my headers painted, now I got to make sure I get all the little parts needed before I ordered the engine. Sure auto parts are expensive but all the little gaskets and RTV stuff etc will kill ya too. Totally getting excited though.

In other news I got a killer deal on a new 3000psi pressure washer for 79 dollars and its not form harbor freight.

Heres how I did it.

PowerStroke Pressure Washers (assorted models) as low as $25-$74 @ Walmart B&M - VERY YMMV - Slickdeals.net

did you get your pressure washer. When i went to the link, everybody was out of stock. some suggested you buy at full price then take to the store with lower price do a refund and rebuy it with a different card.

I did, I had to go to WR to get one at full price and then took it to the one in gray and got it for 79 dollars after tax. Walmart employees are unfortunately non consistently helpful from store to store. I was lucky enough to get one. But there were 6 in stock in multiple places and suddenly inventory numbers were reported being incorrect.

Could not live without my pressure washer, love it.

Put the Mustang on the AC vacuum for about 2 hours to make sure the system was purged and totally free of the cleaner residue. I started it up and put in 2 lbs of freon and it finally blows ice cold !!!! Go team !!!!

Mowed some grass while the car was on the vacuum pump. I hit a rock with the riding mower and it just barely flew over the top of the lightning and it broke the glass out of the storm door on the house. Dang it man...
