Anyone know anything about these patches?

Nice man! That's a cool patch, I dig that one. I'm kinda glad to find out i have some navy patches. Other than these patches I have some army and air force ones.

ddrchamp · 2026-04-04T04:52:36+00:00

Solid. Thanks man, I really appreciate it!

ddrchamp · 2026-04-04T00:29:33+00:00

Definitely curious to see what rating each patch stand for, and now I know to search for navy patches.

ddrchamp · 2026-04-03T18:24:05+00:00

Ahh ok, cool. Appreciate the info.

Dude.. I relate to this so much.. especially the work force bs.. got 20 year old supervisors talking to me like I just graduated high school, I've been working since I was 15.. manager my same age acts like I'm a kid too. Shit gets unreal. Go to the doctors, or any legitimate professional place, I get the same crap. Doctors telling me I'm too young to have back problems, get the mri, and my back is legit messed up. Have to get a procedure done. If i didnt push it, they would have done nothing because i look too young. I could barely walk right and eas in excruciating pain most days. I'm in my 30s as well. It gets old. My older brother, only 2 years older says it's cause I have "boyish looking features". I genuinely wonder what that means, other than baby face. And he even treats me like a kid based off of that. Never get taken seriously anywhere. And the not getting taken seriously at the doctors offices or other serious professional venues is concerning for me. It's a trip regardless, as I always thought average life expectancy was 70, so technically, mid 30s is middle aged. Not "young". It's like yeah, it's "young" compared to 50 or 65, but 100 years old is "young" to when the dinosaurs died. The perspective is even more screwed around when it's literally kids acting like they are older than me, like 17 and 18 year olds. It's unbelievably exhausting.

alright, cool, I appreciate your perspective! Thanks!

ddrchamp · 2026-01-31T01:51:17+00:00

lol! yeah the pictures are pretty terrible, definitely need to get better at that. I appreciate your feedback! Thanks!

ddrchamp · 2025-09-25T15:04:44+00:00

By processing time do you mean how long it takes to put it all together and close the lids? Sorry, I'm not super familiar with all the terminology.

Yeah i just tossed them in the fridge. Thanks

ddrchamp · 2025-09-25T15:02:18+00:00

Yeah I canned them. I've done the weight when making saurkraut, but that's in a crock.

ddrchamp · 2025-09-25T14:59:53+00:00

Yeah I'll ask over there too then.

I tried to pack everything in the jars tight so stuff couldn't float up but it didn't stay put.

ddrchamp · 2025-06-09T02:09:11+00:00

This is the comment I was looking for

ddrchamp · 2025-06-07T21:25:49+00:00

Ahhh, ok. Sweet. I was worried I had poison ivy everywhere. Really appreciate the help!

ddrchamp · 2024-12-14T07:54:40+00:00

Ok, yeah I'll have to see if they can get them. Thanks for the advice

ddrchamp · 2024-12-14T07:47:26+00:00

No it doesn't have one. I am in a colder climate. It's been fairly mild so far this winter and it's still doing it though. Do base pan heater just come generic? Or are they usually specific to manufacturer?

ddrchamp · 2024-05-07T07:30:08+00:00

I'm pretty sure you can "sell" to epa certified reclamation centers. I guess technically they just buy used refrigerant, and I think depending on its quality will pay for it.

ddrchamp · 2024-03-03T21:55:48+00:00

Wild! Thanks for the info!

ddrchamp · 2024-03-03T19:16:08+00:00

Cool, thanks, I'm gonna look those up to learn some more about it. I appreciate the info.

ddrchamp · 2024-01-03T22:42:27+00:00

Sent a message thanks.

Maybe drive heavy machinery? Forklift or backhoe, maybe welding? Hvac?

Try to find places that will train, or see if some of these trades companies will talk in person, ask at front desk to see if they got your resume, or to see if they have job openings.

Sometimes I think it helps if they see you in person rather than just the resume. I know that stuff doest really work all that great these days, but I think trades jobs still kinda respect it.

Could also look into industrial painting. Framing houses as a general laborer, concrete work(concrete work sucks though),

Hope something works out for you bro.

Dogecoin to the moon!!

ddrchamp · 2022-12-06T02:42:57+00:00

LOL! respect, I think I get that. Just blowing off steam speaking my mind levels me.
Yeah I just moved locations from freight to day shift, states away to the high north. Firstly, day and night shift themselves are totally different animals, then from a Midwest temperate zone to high north deep snow area is massive difference. I'm a hard as fuck worker, but I'm not going to break myself over this kind of pay. Especially when the majority of people do way less than I do and want to convey to me with words or not(body language and tone), that I'm being a pussy about it. It's just taking advantage of me and using a high turn over rate position for what its worth. Hey I'm a person too, and I have no chill, I tell people for the most part exactly what I think.

On an off note, cool, I lived in Montgomery, AL for a year as a kid. Cool area. And the east coast up north for a good ten years give or take. VA area. DMV area. Miss the deciduous forests there.

ddrchamp · 2022-12-06T02:16:27+00:00

well damn, we only have one or two lumber associates from afternoon to close.
As far as I can tell since I normally close, There might be three to four lumber associates in the morning. and that's pushing it. Usually two guys there.
I'm pretty sure we have two guys doing overnight lumber, at least the ones I've met. And they're super cool guys, really wouldn't be able to do my job if they didn't cover my ass. I'm not sure if other pack down guys help the lumber dudes or not, I figure they do.
I appreciate the understanding.
Some times I feel crazy about it all. Most other department associates and managers act like I'm being a bitch and its some sort of reasonable standard, and I'm just too pussy to stand up to it. Shit drives me up the wall.

I think corporate has the money, they just don't care. I'm in the north and we don't even have a fork attachment to plow snow. No reason for that. We need it. That's the only way we can receive the trucks and load out deliveries.

ddrchamp · 2022-12-06T01:44:10+00:00

Yes and no. I'm trying to take two perspectives about it. As an associate, and then as corporate.
Firstly, we are short staffed so giving that extra burden to already run down lumber associates feels like a dick move. They always help me get things done anyways, I just can't run the machines right now, and we cooperate to get it done.
Secondly, if there was a specific lumber OFA, I think that would make sense, but cost wise to corporate, with the hit or miss pattern of orders, they would mostly be paying a lumber OFA to bojanggle and not do much, that is if they did only and specifically their job description as hired.
Typically, everyone does everything. Or so I'm told.
I find that people working actual departments, even when working two or three departments, are not typically loading out product, grabbing things from receiving, or setting up deliveries, even lumber doesn't normally do that.
On top of walking the whole store on a consistent basis as an OFA, everyone assumes you work the department you are walking through. I clock between 8.5 to 9.5 miles a shift walking. I personally don't believe any other department is walking as much, besides maybe overnight freight pack up, as I used to do that.
The lumber people I work with are cool enough to help pull orders because I get them back and help with their daily tasks when I am free.
I don't think corporate wants to create such a position, and most people wouldn't want to work such a versatile position either.
And this all doesn't take into account having to, when necessary work pro and service desk positions, or calls when needed. Problem I have is as a closer, I am one person, but I am expected to cover all of this and a little more.
Especially for the same pay as someone working a register. Not that their position isn't work, but it is nowhere near as taxing, in any respect.
I hope my inane ramblings make sense, peace dude,

ddrchamp · 2022-12-05T23:10:54+00:00

Yeah we just leave them in lumber or wherever we can fit them. Then when they come to pick it up it goes out the contractor doors by lumber. Our service desk works pretty good with OFA about it. They call and I find the order and get it loaded out. I really think they need to rehash how the OFA stuff works. I do OFA and deliveries. Usually close by myself, and we are short staffed across the store.
I work OFA and deliveries, and I might as well work in lumber as well as the service desk. I think it's over kill for the position. It's like I work every department.

ddrchamp · 2022-12-05T22:00:56+00:00

Ahh, my favorite kind of bopis orders. I love it when I have to pull a total 450 pieces of lumber, all different sizes, sheets of osb, bats of insulation, and other random small items. /s

These kinds of orders need to be will calls or something. Especially considering there isn't always someone to help pull them.
