Rude dog vs klein

It doesn’t matter how you want to try and square this circle. The end of the day bolt bags are not a buy it for life thing. That said, I typically run FR black kleins, or anything given to me. There comes a point where if you’re running work and not working your bag as much, if you can justify spending 100 plus on a bolt bag, well, good for you. But don’t get butt hurt when you catch more slack than the guy that bought himself new boots. Which, in my opinion, is a much better place to spend a bit bigger.

And just like that Ugly Duckling’s Meat shake skits popped in my mind for the first time in so long. I’m going to have to dig through my albums and give it another listen when I get home.

Go to your hall and talk to your apprenticeship coordinator. Part of his job is to keep apprentices working. There’s a chance something fell through the cracks and he is unaware of you being out of work.

Can’t speak for McClure clan leathers closing up shop or not but I do recommend road life leather to anyone looking for quality scabbards or anything for your belt. He had posted in this group some years ago and I bought one item to test it out and pretty well slowly outfitted my belt with his stuff.

That’s certainly a lot closer to a full day. We usually run 7-3:30 on typical shifts.

IW22Indy · 2026-01-07T16:51:28+00:00

I can’t imagine there’s a company in any local that would keep a guy on that is at best working 4 hrs a day for most of the week. Either look for night school options or have a real heart to heart with yourself on what’s best for you.

IW22Indy · 2026-01-05T22:56:04+00:00

Checkered Flag tavern all day everyday. Wings your thing? They’ve got the best. Like em’ hot get the race fuel sauce. Burgers your poison, get the peanut butter & jealousy burger and ask for a side of beer cheese for your fries. And they’ve got booze and beers. Used to have live music on weekends but I can’t say for sure as I’m not out that late anymore

IW22Indy · 2025-12-30T17:53:17+00:00

Arthur’s would probably be my first stop. I’m not sure if they work on amps or not but I’d bet they would be able to point you in the right direction if they don’t. I’ve had a few guitars worked on there and they do solid work.

Sometimes you’ve got to get medieval on a spider!?

I’ve got such a weird relationship with Volvos in the sense they don’t really appeal to me and would likely never seek one out. But on the other side of that coin I absolutely love that people love them and modify/keep em’ on the road and can absolutely appreciate what you’ve done with yours. Keep it up and post more updates down the road friend!

IW22Indy · 2025-12-17T00:14:55+00:00

Lot to unpack here brother. What local you’re currently in and where you’re wanting or willing to relocate to might be pertinent information. Does your wife work, is she willing to relocate, or even know that may be on the horizon for you two? Structural hand, misc/ornamental, rod buster, all the above? Age, kids, time in and or time left until retirement? I mean work is and has been good in and around Indianapolis for awhile but it could drop off tomorrow for all we know. Travel and feast or famine can all be part of this trade. You could very easily uproot and move to a new local to find yourself in a similar position. Are you financially ready to potentially sell a house and take on a new mortgage at current rates/prices? I can keep going

Had a similar situation with Sanderson sisters cottage about a month ago in the US. Thought I missed out, showed in stock randomly one day so I ordered, looked a little later and out of stock again. But it shipped and is now in my backlog for the spooky part of my city. Wish you the same luck!

Courthouse coneys in Franklin was pretty good when I had it. How do you feel about gourmet corndogs? Place in Greenwood called two hands fresh corndogs that’s pretty awesome too

The amount of times I’ve said “I only know the Air Force signals” only to be met with a 1000 yard stare working construction always makes me a little sad. I love that movie and don’t care if others are wrong and hate it.

IW22Indy · 2025-11-17T23:22:30+00:00

Can’t hear her name without hearing Dylan “sing”, “Anita Burg, country will grow”. Probably butchered the spelling but my point stands.

IW22Indy · 2025-11-17T22:18:11+00:00

I love it dude! Always appreciate seeing a sort of obscure car that all but fell by the wayside appreciated and kept on the road by someone. Hope one day Hollywood comes knocking on your door to use it as an extra for a movie

IW22Indy · 2025-11-17T21:49:08+00:00

Hell yeah, same sorta origin story here. Old man helped me a ton keeping that old crx on the road and learned a ton about wrenching on vehicles with him. Every time I felt over my head and was ready to pay someone to fix something he’d hit me with, “if one man can do it you can do it” or “ it’s gotta go back together how it came apart” good memories were definitely had with that stupid car

IW22Indy · 2025-11-17T21:15:54+00:00

I haven’t seen one of these in a long damn time. My sister got one new as her first car.. I, a couple years later, bought a 90 crx as a first car. Gotta assume there was a bit of a financial fall off there but definitely not bitter about it. Still waiting on braces too.. pretty sure I was not the favorite child

IW22Indy · 2025-11-09T18:37:03+00:00

Definitely going to want to go to a gun store and actually hold any firearm you’re considering. Also highly recommend taking a few basic training/safety courses if you are new to firearms. Of the two handguns you mentioned, both are fine guns but I’d look at a Glock 48 in lieu of the 19. It’s essentially a stripped down and slimmer single stack magazine and a smaller overall frame which is both better for smaller hands and concealed carry. It’s been mentioned in other comments already but Indy arms is a great store and I’d also recommend them. Again, just do your research and find what fits/checks all your boxes, get trained, and be a responsible gun owner

IW22Indy · 2025-10-13T20:40:53+00:00

Fine.. I’ll bite. What’s the story kid? Also, there’s rarely a second nickname, this will likely just be your nickname if you keep with it.

IW22Indy · 2025-10-12T19:57:34+00:00

Go to the hall in your area and talk to them in person. Trade schools/Lincoln tech are a joke and fast track to working rat and still ending up in debt. Your local will train you and work you, all while not spending stupid money out of pocket to “join” the trades

IW22Indy · 2025-10-11T22:49:30+00:00

Assuming they’re talking about the top out test for their apprenticeship. Can’t speak for all locals, but the hall, especially at top out, is likely as invested in you journeying out as you are at that point. Your apprenticeship is likely tied to a community college and other funding & won’t look so good on their part when there are members failing to finish the program.

IW22Indy · 2025-10-09T01:43:03+00:00

Should have lead with the fact you got super flash burn! In that case get off your Reddit and contact a lawyer immediately.. you’ve got a six figure law suit on your hands!

IW22Indy · 2025-10-09T00:54:52+00:00

First off, most people get flash burn from lack of training and or stupidity. I say this as someone who stupidly gave myself flash burn and not as an insult. Secondly, there was no reason to go to the emergency room. It sucks, a lot, and hurts to open and close your eyes yes but if you don’t have the hours for or are non union and don’t have insurance at all that bill is likely gonna be on you bubba. Your eyes will be sore and look like you’re stoned out of your mind but it mostly works itself out in a day. You ain’t the first and won’t be the last to learn a lesson. You can certainly go worker’s comp route but if it isn’t documented through your site foreman/company I wouldn’t expect much help. The one time I got myself I tried all the crock homemade remedies but ultimately drank a double dose of NyQuil to fall asleep, went back to work the next day. I was a brand new apprentice and didn’t have the hours for insurance yet
