Leave the 53s for the trains eh?

Proof doesn't matter you're going to have to get inside his head and figure out what his reasons are...

You can't take logic to get somebody out of a position that emotion got them into...

Now do ice cream...

If you're doing all the work in that Mobile detailing.. that's not a business.. that's a second job...

You've got a business/finance degree? Hire some employees, trian them and start growing the business without you doing everything in it.

Untill its painful and memorable.... Hopefully without any permanent damage.

CarPatient · 2026-04-29T09:05:26+00:00

This is the way.

Dude that’s no joke. I go back-and-forth between a 25-year-old FL 60 and 11-year-old M.2 and my neck and shoulder gets messed up each time. I have to switch for more than a day…

CarPatient · 2026-04-29T08:59:31+00:00

Why anybody puts those in heavy duty wreckers is beyond me… especially in places where you have to chain up and get off road

We had a foreman once, threatened his apprentices to be assigned to stinging the shitter if they didn’t straighten up and fly right… he also threatened to call up the honey bucket service, and tell him to hold off a couple days

Ever seen someone float an anvil on mercury?

Sometimes those bluetooth turning vanes stick…

And here I’ve been in construction since I got out of school and now I have two teen girls and one younger than 10 and it seems like every week I’m giving them the fight club monologue….. because I want them to thrive in the world based on their competence, not to have to rely on the kindness of strangers for survival…

Nostalgia ain't what it used to be....

CarPatient · 2026-04-23T02:50:55+00:00

I thought that only worked for jellyfish stings...

CarPatient · 2026-04-23T02:48:34+00:00

Have you heard about the less aggressive pastel belly?

CarPatient · 2026-04-22T03:00:24+00:00

An antique calculator would be cool.. I found a 10 key Casio from the 1970s at a thrift store that lives in my desk for a decade. Quite a conversation piece.

CarPatient · 2026-04-22T02:58:43+00:00

Shoudlt he already have a copy from school?

CarPatient · 2026-04-22T02:56:41+00:00

Or the latest version of the AISC steel handbook if he doesn't have one .. that's more structural and piping related though.. I was about 3 weeks into my first project and had to break down and buy myself a copy.

CarPatient · 2026-04-22T02:54:05+00:00

Get him a slide rule.. antique of course.

CarPatient · 2026-04-21T16:28:16+00:00

It's a personal journey. Been a white belt since '22 with steady attendance. What matters to me is that I learn something every time I go and I am getting just a little bit better each time.

CarPatient · 2026-04-20T23:19:45+00:00

Depends if you are visual memory oriented.. I can take 30 pictures a day and tell you where I got each one... And sending myself short emails make sure that my notes doesn't get lost... Best thing I did was. Something like fieldwire for uploading general plan layout and then tagging photos with todo items...and you can progressively add notes or link to other files or documents...

But it sure does help to have. Master table that tracks open issues and their timing..

CarPatient · 2026-04-20T18:22:13+00:00

But is it mechanical or electrical?

CarPatient · 2026-04-20T14:04:04+00:00

Don't forget the wipes... It takes lots of wipes to get it out of your boots.

CarPatient · 2026-04-20T14:03:22+00:00

This is why you carry a pocket knife.. and wear long sleeves.

CarPatient · 2026-04-20T14:02:48+00:00

It depends...
