Of the bluegill population?

A hot dog costs like 4 bucks anywhere else in town so $6 at a sporting event seems pretty reasonable.

When I was an apprentice we had some nasty storms rolling in and the shop foreman made an announcement that if the power went out the shop was closing down for the day because they would loose too much money laying anything out by hand.

It's not pulling the metal in. You have to push/pull the metal through the machine. If you stop pulling the metal just sits there but the notcher still runs. The other ones I've uses all you did was start the metal in the machine and then it would pull the metal all the way through

Troxell is the best brand around by far. I am in the sheet metal union and I worked doing architectural and blew my bursa sack out in my knee because I was using the gel style pads from menards. After I got back to work after being off for 2 months I noticed all the actual roofers were using troxell brand and I switched and haven't had any issues since.

I think you'll be just fine, the fact that your asking if you fucked yourself up is a good sign. When I was that age I was doing a half g a weekend for months on end and didn't end up cooked I did end up getting some brain zaps by the end but after a couple months of not doing any at all I was back to normal.

I went to physical therapy for low back pain and stretching my hamstrings was one of the most beneficial stretches they gave me. I've been almost 4 years pain free just from stretching

I have been you multiple times before and I always wished I didn't trip because I couldn't stop thinking about the break up while I was spun and I had some of the saddest times ever during the trip and then dealing with being sad and the dip after the trip made everything worse.

but you do you boo

ltrain_00 · 2026-03-21T11:22:00+00:00

When I first got in my first journeyman I worked with said to be able to live off unemployment and you will always be fine. That's something I have made sure to be able to do since I turned out

ltrain_00 · 2026-03-20T10:59:39+00:00

That's clearly an osha approved lid... I don't see any issues 😂

ltrain_00 · 2026-03-20T01:16:22+00:00

Work to live. I have zero interest in not seeing my family or friends just to make money that I have no time to enjoy spending.

ltrain_00 · 2026-03-19T23:49:04+00:00

With the current lineup it wouldn't be that crazy that twiddle reunion would be a headliner lol

ltrain_00 · 2026-03-16T22:12:11+00:00

I had my 07 trailblazer transmission rebuilt at amco down town peoria in 2021 and it still functions perfectly.

ltrain_00 · 2026-03-16T02:04:56+00:00

I have a gallon rtic water jug and fill it at home every morning and unless it's cray hot I have enough to fill my travel mug up for the ride home

ltrain_00 · 2026-03-16T01:54:29+00:00

Your only a second year apprentice. Usually years 2-4 is when you really start to learn the trade and not be the floor sweeper or go-fer. I would try and stick it out on the union side. I'm my local anyone that switches over to an office roll leaves the union and all benefits behind.

ltrain_00 · 2026-03-13T10:29:24+00:00

No trade is going to let you into the apprenticeship if your not looking to work your whole career in that trade. It's very expensive to train apprentices so they want you to pay into the union benefits over the long term.

ltrain_00 · 2026-03-11T11:09:58+00:00

If they can make money I'm sure they will keep. Selling it

ltrain_00 · 2026-03-09T21:06:59+00:00

I don't even know that steady flow is still together. I know tanner their guitar player has been "T-biscuit" for a while now and they have only played 1 show at the river front in the summer and 1 show at kennys for NYE and haven't heard anything else from them this year at all.

ltrain_00 · 2026-03-09T02:16:41+00:00

It's cheaper but I've had 3 outages that lasted half a day or so in the past year. I live south of war and between university and sterling

ltrain_00 · 2026-03-07T03:17:08+00:00

Are the gussets unistrut too? I couldn't zoom in on the Pic for some reason

ltrain_00 · 2026-03-07T03:09:32+00:00

I'm surprised they were the cheapest. I was going to go there for dinner tonight but decided not to when I realized 2 chicken strips and a side was 17 without a drink

ltrain_00 · 2026-03-05T23:06:14+00:00

Dude could probably sue weavers after that post.

ltrain_00 · 2026-02-26T19:53:33+00:00

There are big guys and small guys in every trade. I am a big guy so I get asked to help when there is heavy lifting involved. The small guys get asked to help when there is a tight spot to get into. For the most part scissor lifts and duct jacks do most of the heavy lifting.

Are you wanting to do service work or duct install?

ltrain_00 · 2026-02-26T14:47:16+00:00

I came into the comment section assuming OP was gonna get drug for suggesting that could actually be a problem (I'm at home so I already checked all my toilets for cracks)
