And yes it's already been discussed that little junk cold pressure washer will be replaced with a nice shiny new hot pressure washer. Should be nice for blasting road crap off the trucks in winter.

Sorry to hear about the thievery Pete. Not a good feeling to know someone is stealing from you. I'd get a new pressure washer, put it on display, hide out in the garage with the .44 mag and wait.
Congrats on the job Tristan.
She's still naieve enough...because she spelled it wrong!
I'm sure I am not a good influence haha. Actually all us kids are a bit demented in that way, but I'll tell ya, when we all get together I usually spend the entire time laughing. My family is hilarious. And I'm the quiet one!! They already have Mexican Dominoes night planned for when I go out for Thanksgiving.

Just wanted to update my 2nd family about whats been goin on to me lately.
October 8th I had an interview with the local county govt with a position in their assessor's department. Went well and a week later I got a call for a 2nd interview.
October 22nd I went in for the 2nd interview and found out it was between myself and one other candidate. That interview went well and he said he would let me know the results by the end of this week. Tuesday I get texts, calls, and emails from all my references telling me that he called and asked about me.
WELL...I get the call at 4:22 today and he offered me the job.
Its been 2 years since I graduated and I held on doin odd jobs and contracting until I finally found something I wanted.
Just wanted to share the great news with yall since I really can't hold it in! Ive been smiling from ear to ear for last hour!

What did you end up getting Jacob? Glad it is running.
I have 24 yards of concrete coming at 9 tomorrow morning. I hope everything goes well and everyone who said they would help shows up. Could be a long day if they don't. My gut feels like it is going to turn itself inside out, I've been part of many, many larger concrete pours than this, but none of them were coming out of my pocket.
Sorry to hear about your operator, Tom. That's something that everyone dreads.
And some scumbag stole our pressure washer. For those of you who were at the NE Tech day it was the one right inside the door to the barn in the room that had the sink.
They would have had to open the door, walk into the barn, look around for the pressure washer, move the stuff that was on it, and then taken it. Worthless scum thieves...

Morning Jay.
Its not the game that is as fun as the conversation and company that goes with it.
Mexican Train: rules of the domino game We play a little differently than the rules in this version. Only one piece at a time unless you're playing doubles...but you get the general idea.

never heard of mexican dominoes. in the navy i used to play a version of dominoes that you had to add up all the points on the four runs to try and equal multiples of 5 but you only got points for 10 and over. i dont even know what its called but when people ask if i want to play dominoes i always have to get the rules to how they play first since nobody i have met plays like we did in the navy.....

Isn't that when you drink Coronas and then line the bottles up then knock them down? Kinda like Mexican Bowling only the pins are Corona bottles and you use a tennis ball to knock them down.

How long ago were you in the Navy? My uncle was a navy man and my dad had signed up and was set to ship out during Vietnam until he broke his leg on his motorcycle.
I'll have to look that one up. The Mexican train version is fun because there is actually some strategy to the game because it all has to do with how successfully you can build a train.
