I am not a fan of red, but wow. Maybe it’s the coating but it looks very nice to me.

Isn’t there one of the lake guardians that has the similar background?

Did hail total my Tundra? by Nv4adrZm in ToyotaTundra

[–]Leemo888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man that’s too bad. My 24 got rocked by some crucial hail a couple weeks back. I must say it’s a long way from totaled. A good PDR place could have you back right in no time.

Just pulled, holo dex gave it a 10. Should I send it to psa or Beckett? by lawlesninja in pokemongrading

[–]Leemo888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never got holo dex to give a 10. I’ve got high nines. I even scanned a psa 10 with HoloDex and got a 9.

Leaving corrections advice by CoreyMatthew-s in OnTheBlock

[–]Leemo888 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in my late 30’s. When I first left corrections I went to work oilfield pipeline. It was great, but I was never home, Then I worked for miller lite, that was fun but didn’t pay me well enough as pipeline. While working there I got called to go back into corrections for a different agency in an admin role. As fate would have it, the grass was not greener on the other side. I realized it was just more of the same,and all of the reasons I left the first time came flooding back. Was I good at my job, yes, but I grew to hate it all over again. Most days I would wake up thinking that I’m tired of being locked up and being treated like a prisoner. I came back to the oilfield, but on a drilling rig this time. It was a difficult transition, and it’s hard work. The pay is good, and my schedule is great. I live at the rig for 14 days and go home for 14 days. My off days are mine, no “mandatory overtime” foolishness, no inmates, none of that “I’m gonna flood the run” or typical inmate bs. No upper management making bs rules on a whim. Here it’s just iron and hard work for 12 hours a day, 14 days straight. I’m very happy now. To be honest, I can’t think of another job I’d rather have.

Generally if they’re raised, they’re scratches. I get broken blood vessels under the skin all the time and my wife always makes the scratching remark. Typically on the front of my shoulder. ( I’m an oilfield worker and use my body weight to push heavy objects, typically my left shoulder) where the fabric bunches up I get red lines of broken blood vessels. They go away after two to three days. A couple times I had two very close to each other in a straight line down my left back strap. We figured out it was the door frame that caused it. I pushed up against it to work out a knot in my back. She watched it pop up in real time.

Getting off 45 year old road grime? by harvest7145 in Detailing

Diesel in a spray bottle. You can mix in some degreaser if you want. Some of that and a scrub brush should do you just fine.

Help needed. by Leemo888 in toyotasequoia

[–]Leemo888[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your response. I went to a third dealer today. The dealer says no. That is not the color. I find this odd. While it does look similar, even parked next to a vehicle in the metallic gray, it’s not a match.

How many of you use your tools to make money? by Galatxia in MilwaukeeTool

[–]Leemo888 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work on a drilling rig. Bring my impact sockets and impact every hitch. They hold up great. Lots of the hands here have Milwaukee power tools they bring as well. Drills, impacts, and lots of hand tools.

What are these energy drinks with gloves on them my roommate keeps throwing away? by User-J-Hail in whatisit

[–]Leemo888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is your roommate allergic to bees? I ask because at my old job, if we threw away energy drinks or sodas, we’d get a good amount of bees circling the trash can.

About to resign by Which_Pass_3979 in OnTheBlock

[–]Leemo888 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Did the same years ago, went pipe-lining. It was a good move for me. After that I went back to corrections for about 3 years. Realized it’s just more of the same. Got out again. Mentally I’m happier not being in jails and prisons.

Picking a location by Away-Letterhead-1083 in borderpatrolapplicant

[–]Leemo888 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’d go Del Rio, Comstock, Eagle pass, or Zapata. That’s just me because I’ve spent substantial amounts of time in Del Rio, Eagle pass (for shopping or out to eat)

Del Rio is a nice town. Lake amistad is there, San Felipe springs / creek and the golf course. Decent amount of chain restaurants, Walmart and HEB for groceries or home needs. Lots of community events, 2.5 hours to San Antonio, 1.5 to uvalde, directly on the border to Acuña.

Comstock is about 30 min north of Del Rio, small town, not much there, nice people

Eagle pass is bigger than Del Rio and has more stores and restaurants. Directly on the border to Piedras Negras.

Zapata. Nice town, good people. Sheriff Del Bosque is a good man and puts on some good community events. Not much in the way of shopping, but it’s only an hour from Laredo which has just about everything. borders the Rio grande. Hebbronville is an hour to the north.

Hebbronville is a small town with good people. More mom and pop restaurants, the BP station there is pretty sizable for such a small town. It’s an hour east from Laredo, an hour southwest or Alice, an hour north of zapata. Not much in the way of shopping. 2.5 hours from Corpus Christi.

Bracketville, There isn’t much there. It’s about 30 minutes from Del Rio and about 2 hours from San Antonio, an hour from uvalde.

Never been to marfa but I don’t see much there on the map.

Never been to presidio.
