Hey Jack, i was outside working today, doing some welding and stuff, then I turned around and smacked my hand into a chunk of iron and disabled it for the rest of the day! Hurt like a SOB! haha

Right now its not too bad. I would get back out there, but its a little windy out here right now, and wind doesnt make mig welding any easier!

And I guess I was still doing some work today. Also did some checking into becoming certified to do some specialty water and sewer stuff, which means I would be one of the few people around saskatoon qualified to do it.

Its all goods, its just about done hurting. I know now that if/when I get into my next fight, I definately am not gonna backhand anyone!

Now if I woulda turned around and my fist woulda hit that chunk of metal, the metal might have broke.... haha.

Evening David!

Jack i wish I had lots of equipment, i would hire up a good mechanic in a second! I have a good buddy I grew up with that would be first in line though. He has no formal training, but Ive only met one guy that could fix stuff better then him (and that was my uncle that just passed away).

The things that my buddy Conrad can do/has done are insane. Only bad thing about him is he is a chevy guy lol.
