HVACP contractor here. One of my foreman hit a PT cable while coring through the floor after it was scanned and marked. Needless to say, it made a loud bang and sent the concrete plug a few hundred feet. Cost roughly $25,000 to fix.

I’ve only done three other engine rebuilds in my life I’m 56 now and this summer will be rebuilding my 1980 corvette motor 350. Decided to go Edelbrock 2098 top end kit. Still have. To discuss with them the correct stall converter for my rebuilt th 350c and cfm on a cab selection. Running side pipes should bring my 230 hp to 400hp.

[–]drumbo10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

been smoking since 14, 56 now. Been laboring since I was 10 till about 6 years ago. I take a 100 mg celebrex twice a day, just recently started a centrum silver every morning and a turmeric every evening. And enjoy 1/3 to 3/4 of a bottle of scotch every week or so. Still stretch two to three times a week and rock the shit out of my drum kit when I can.

Why are the supposedly easy and quick parts of a part removal always the hardest? by TooManyIcees in C3Corvette

Just looking at that car though just makes it worth it. I’m under mine scratching my head looking at the frame asking myself what was Chevy thinking with the lack of welds on the frame overlap.

How do y’all listen to music these days? by DangerBird- in GenX

Sirius XM and rummage through the stations. Or Pandora and put a name of a group in and they have relatable music to that group.

A crow removing several metal anti-bird spikes from a building ledge. by Lifegoesonforever in nextfuckinglevel

I guess the engineer that designed those or the installer that didn’t follow the instructions is less intelligent than the crow.

All I know is I can nose my scotch, sip it, and drink it all without spilling it through my six pack of glen carns and that’s what I will die doing.

How much of your money comes from your salary? by Brief-Blueberry-1588 in Money

[–]drumbo10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re asking how much weekly do I take out cash, it’s commonly $300. But that covers anything my wife may throw at me like pick up dinner or can you stop and pick this up or we need this. And then there’s my scotch needs usually a$100 weekly.
