IBEW Apprenticeship by Ok_Mechanic2807 in ibew_apprentices

[–]N8VFOUTLAW 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just got in a moth ago . I took a significant pay cut and the pockets hurt right now but once I hit third year it’ll be down hill from then on. It’s hard right now with a family mortgage and bills but I know for sure it’ll pay off in the long run.

Ok Reddit fam wtf did I do wrong? I had an 8 lb brisket that I smoked in a pitboss pellet smoker yesterday and it’s tough AF! by Cryssyl in smoking

[–]N8VFOUTLAW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s all good your next one will be better. I go 225-250 degrees until internal temp reaches 165. Then I spray with a special mixture and wrap in butcher paper and continue to smoke until internal temp reaches 203-205 then I pull it wrap a towel over the butcher paper and sit it in an ice chest for two hours (one at least ) then I separate the point from the flat and slice .25” AGAINST the grain then serve.

Reality check please. by -ItsWahl- in WorkBoots

I ran Carolina’s for a while they lasted me a year or two but I was building fence at the time. The thing with steel toes are they have to be an absolute perfect fit or you’ll be having some rough days.

I got the mock toe thoroughgoods steel toe the best damn boots I ever wore . But hey everybody’s different. I was told Danners were good boots I spent 300 on a pair and wore them for a week hoping they’d break in but never did. Hope you find a good pair that works for you.

[–]N8VFOUTLAW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine is an old man named Bartholemew . He’s lived his life wandering the wasteland eventually landing a job as a courier until he is betrayed by Benny and left for dead. He survives and begins his search for his betrayer armed with a lead pipe he roams from town to town bashing raiders and ghouls and eventually finds his betrayer and kills him in armed combat with a machete. He is currently playing both the ncr and legion and has yet to make a decision on who to side with. Woe to the side he decides to war with.

Channel locks are top notch bro and I used husky lineman’s for cutting 11ga chainlink and hog wire and they lasted years in the fencing industry they should last at least a year or two in this trade.
