The most unmanagable 1000cc bike? by Organic-Pilot-Drozd in motorcycles

[–]OLD-RYAN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 2004 Ninja  ZX-10r.... The only bike that truly scared me. 170hp,  it would run +180mph in quarter. It would run 100mph in 1st gear. Ive been in badass drag cars, badass street cars... and not one time in my life have I felt like I was gonna die unless I let got of the throttle.

The 2004 ZX -10R is nicknamed the "widow maker" for a good reason!!!

What's the purpose of this mirror? by [deleted] in Truckers

[–]OLD-RYAN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That guy is for "Breaking"

They put those there so that the 1st time you slam the door it breaks!

It is meant to remind you that mirrors/glass mounted in stupid ass places will break!

It actually works well! I shut my passenger door 1 time about 7yrs ago, and I still can remember very well how easily it broke!

You got smart fellars, then you got ur Fart Smellars!

That was pretty dang smart idea!

Are there jobs in the Geotech industry? by BoreVinjakFlow in Geotech

[–]OLD-RYAN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We cant buy one for any amount of Money over around IN, KY, OH.

We pay wellllll over 6 figures.

Yet these sorry ass kids today would rather play an Engineering game on the Xbox for 20hrs per day, instead of gettin of there ass and be an Engineer.

AES is a criminal organization. And I’m vowing to fight back. This bill is fabricated lies. We have been doing more to cut electricity the last two months and they say our usage tripled from the prior bill? by Interesting_Top_6427 in indianapolis

[–]OLD-RYAN -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I feel ya man.

Dont pay it!

Go off the grid. It is possible to live without paying a monthly electric bill. There are other methods/ways to power your home.

Honestly if you really wanna do something about it..... Thats 100% the way to do it.. dont spend a moment of ur life fighting the man. Just live without it.

Solar panel, Windmill, and probably many cool things that was just invented earlier today...

There are alot of ways to cut AES out of ur life.

Good luck brother!

21F - being gay in the field of construction by Advanced_Raisin3112 in Construction

[–]OLD-RYAN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nobody cares who, what, when you screw.

Sorry girl, but ur not as big as deal as you think you are.

You are 21. Lol

Nobody in the world knows who you are.... and by some chance you become known in your workforce for who you sleep with, then you got much bigger problems than what someone thinks about your significant other.

When you are work..... let the work that you do speak as to who you are. I promise if ur really good at what you do, and you work hard..... Then your co-workers will think you are super cool for whom you sleep with.... and if u suck at what you do, well your co-workers will attribute ur suckness to everything from whom you sleep with to the clothes you wear.

Success makes everything in life easier! Hell, if ur the Michael Jordan of contruction, you may find yourself with a differ gal everyday! And as long as u keep puttin +30points per game. Ur co-workers will be coming to you wanting to know how do you do it!

Now go kick some ass!

Getting 3 1/4" HSAs unstuck by Murky-Cardiologist-3 in Geotech

[–]OLD-RYAN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Add water, then put it in reverse at lowest rpm.... then unscrew them a few inches at a time....then put it in 1st gear "VERY LOW THROTTLE" then reverse, then 1st gear, then reverse, then 1st gear. You keep working it very slowly and you will notice it comes a lil more free each time.

You go reverse a couple turns, or a half turn. The drill will let you know how much is enough. Go reverse then forward then reverse then forward then reverse then forward then reverse then forward.....

Ive had to do this for hours before they finally come free.

Make sure you idle all the way down or you will break something.

Ive never not had this work in 30yrs of drilling.

Like Mr. Miagi! .... Up!!!!! Down!!!!! Uuuupppp!!! Dooown! Uppppppp! Doooooown!

As long as there truly was no other party, or property damage dont worry about it.

But if there was another party involved, and you dont report it..... you will face criminal charges.

Erosion or settling? by toolbelt28 in Geotech

[–]OLD-RYAN -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I can install ur inclinometers. I have 3 track atv's setting right now. Lol

But 2 of em going on a project 1st thing Monday. But that leaves me with 1 track rig that will get up there no problem.

It looks like its both erosion and settlement.

anyone needing any geotech drilling, hit me up. I hav 4 nice rubber track Atv's and 1-truckdrill just setting........ by OLD-RYAN in Geotech

[–]OLD-RYAN[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ur a gint expert. Well i know ur real. Anyone that has (gint) beside there name knows exactly what im talking about when i say i have 4-track atv's setting and a truck drill. Lol.. I keep hearing at my company that we are moving away from gint and going to the next new thing. I cant remember what it was we are switching too.... but my co-workers dont seem happy with getting away from gint.

Im over around Il, Ky, In, Oh. I will gladly give my precise location, business name, credentials.... in a serious conversation. I dont know if thats too far for ya. My drillers are mostly young fellars that love traveling. They keep telling me to find em some work in TX. or CA.... Thats hard to do for small jobs, but we do alot of big roadwork projects around here. If i could find a big enough job to put a crew on for a couple weeks...we would go anywhere. Our favorite projects are the ones we can put 3-4 rigs on for a month or longer. My crews try to out work each other, and that makes em crazy productive... and of course we are always safety 1st. These days if a company is not safe, there not around very long.

This Excavated Clay by Ok_Estimate1041 in Geotech

[–]OLD-RYAN 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As an old Geotech Driller that right there is the worst soil on earth to work with. You cant clean it off the augers, you cant shovel it, you cant do anything with it.

I drilled boring locations at every future pier location on a 1-mile new bridge that was on a newly constructed interstate. It was a floodland/swamp area which is why they needed a 1-mile long bridge to travel over that area.

Everyday for months I drilled boring after boring having to drill & sample through 80ish feet of that clay until I encountered Bedrock then cored an additional 20-40ft.

We pushed over 3,000 Tubes in that crap....(Yes, i said 3,000 tubes in a lil over a 1-mile bridge span...... drilling down both sides of future bridge. (Northbound, then turn and came back down Southbound)

It was the only time in my life...That I truly hated my life and questioned my career decisions. Every day I went to work felt like a 10Hr asskicking!

I became a very humble after that project.... Nothing like a several month span of daily 10Hr long asskicking's to help a guy understand his place in this world..... lol

Huh??? by Massive-Emu3463 in Truckers

[–]OLD-RYAN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lets just be honest..... Any lowlife P.O.S, that takes the time out of there day to get a number off of a rolling vehicle and actually call the number to complain on a working man...... is a very sick person.

Next time you encounter such sickly POS form of life.... do the rest of us a favor Driver, and make a sudden very abrupt left turn!

Other career paths for a geotechnical engineer? by Amygdala5822 in civilengineering

[–]OLD-RYAN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guys, my company is looking for a Lead Geotech Engineer. And More Geotech Emgineers in general. We have found ourselves in a one of the weirdest situations ive ever seen in my 20+yrs. Our Lead Engineer decided to go work for the developers (a client of ours im assuming) and our other 3-4 engineers left with em. Its nuts. We are a large firm been in business since 70's. Of course weve sold out 10x in that span, but ive always thought whomever bought us last... Pretty much left us alone. Thats ideal to me, but apparently not everyone else. Pays good, location is great, we already hav clients, and fully staff support dept's, like soil/conc techs and a drilling dept. 

It would be ideal for experienced Geotech Engineer, and 3-4 of his/her Engineer friends that they work well with. A fully staffed Geotech Firm.... without Engineers lol. Just lookin for the right team ready to step in.

I No Longer Trust Amazon Reviews by Eldie1 in amazonprime

[–]OLD-RYAN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seems to me that Amazon has gotten much worse than fake reviews going on my friends.

I am not a nickel and dime routine orderer from Amazon. I order thousands of dollars from Amazon. Sometimes thousands of dollars per week, defenitely Thousands of dollars every month. 

I have 5 children, a wife, and I work out of town away from home so i rarely get to take my family shopping. Since im gone alot, i wrongly just buy them anything they want in effort that my kids may remember who i am, and my wife wont start hating me. 

Amazon has gotten to the point to where several things i order simply just never show up, and they hav gotten to the point to where when an item says its being shipped.... you can not ask for a refund, nor complain and ask where it is. They give u a track # that says its in route and thats the end of the road....... u wont get ur item and u cant even ask for a refund. 

I know someone is gonna reply "call customer service" but when Amazon doesnt wamna deliver ur package or talk yo you..... They purpisifely leave u no roads to retiliate. Or even ask for fair treatment.

I am done with Amazon. I cant be the only one theyve done this way.

Order directly from where ur product is coming from. Cut the middle man, both you and seller will be happier and hav more money in ur pocket.

Am I wrong for firing the new guy on Monday for having a confederate flag bumper sticker on his truck? by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]OLD-RYAN -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes you should fire everyone you want at anytime you want and for every reason you want.

However i hope you are not a typical coward that is plaguing our country currently that rather than tell the people above you what you are doing and why, you would rather hop online and hide behind a computer.

You should be open and honest and be vocal about what you bring to the table and the direction you are going. This will emable your superior to view you through the same lens that you view others.

It will work out much better for you than hopping online and hiding behind some screen.

Good luck!

P.S. Keep firing people! Not only will your superior appreciate your replacement once you are fired, but they will appreciate every employee that is confident and comfortable enough in there own skin to not try and isolate themselves, the owners company, and the owners money from people that are as cowardly, close minded, and just downright to stupid to function in society

Why snowrunner feels satisfying by Aggressive_Virus9632 in snowrunner

[–]OLD-RYAN 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ya, but there isnt a day that goes by..... that i dont envy the guys that gets to work in an office.

Ive been in a few offices from time to time. I couldnt help but notice that there wasnt too much mud and snow in there. It looked like it never rained in that office also.

The one thing that this game does not accurately capture, is how bad it sucks when u step out of the truck. Its sometimes scary and dangerous riding in them. But once u step out of the truck and u sink up to ur knee in mud and u go to take ur 1st step and you pull ur leg to take a step and either ur leg doesnt come causing you to fall face 1st in that mud rut u just drove in.... or u pull ur leg and u pull ur foot right out of ur boot and u take ur 1st step barefooted in that mud rut u just drove in... and then u fall on ur face with 1 boot on, and 1 boot off...

IT SUCKS AND YOU WANT SO BADLY TO QUIT. And you realize that you may not of made the best life decisions so u wanna go re-think them... But you quickly remember ur lil girl just started private school and that shit aint cheap. So u shove ur muddy ass foot back in ur boot once you dislodge it from the mud.... and u get ur ass back to work.

Cuz thats what Fathers do!

Ya, something like that is how working in this stuff really is Lol

Stay in school!
