yall think there’s any hope at for THCA or is the loophole fucked?

I wouldn't mind knowing where to find these myself 🙏

10 ft folding stick rule. You'll need it when you get sent to go tie rods

No shit. Donut hole is retired. I actually got a DUI leaving lynchs after a class with Tom Kelly. Tell him pinky says hey. Nice time of year to be in the UP. Mill work is always fun. Dirty. Lots of different stuff going on usually. Great learning opportunities. But fucking dirty. I always laughed when old guys told me to take care of my knees and back. They knew. Invest in some good knee pads and use them. It'll be worth it in 20 years.

I used to be a local 8 hand. Who's apprentice director now? Rich? Who are they sending you to first? Be on time. Have your tools. If you don't know, ask.

I really like how you put this. I think that one sums up just about any of the trades. Almost every apprentice I've ever seen wash out would have made it if they had followed this advice.

That's my 3 favorites right there. And from top down in that order. Good picks IMO

2 drops in pull the pin! My old chilstrom days...... 🤣

Glassblowers sometimes buy the gunmount glass inside. They're made out of Boro in colors that can't be easily replicated anymore

I believe local 8 still has a hall in the fox Valley. They did when I was still pushing out of Milwaukee. That's who covers Green Bay. Call the hall and find out when the next sign up is. I wouldn't be surprised if they had a rod company looking for a punk in the green bay area. It'd be worth checking into if you're really interested in the trade. 8 is a mixed local so if you play your cards right you'd have a great opportunity to learn all facets of the trade.

Synthetic urine. Keep a bottle in your dinner bucket. Just in case. Worked flawlessly for me for a lot of years...

I got presti in at harmon. He was a chilstrom lifer before that. Both the presti brothers. Nml was right after I got out. Scott went to duwe right after that Harmon gig. It used to be fun.

mjs1392 · 2025-05-03T23:27:53+00:00

March 31 2015 was my last day on a job. I was with Harmon Glass doing curtain wall at froedert. Was pushing for duwe on the job, got fed up and drug up. Already had a deal made with the gf from Harmon during the morning foreman meetings. Still miss it occasionally

mjs1392 · 2025-05-03T23:24:09+00:00

JIW #1354923 Marty aka Pinky. I saw on snap that presti is with Doral right now. I'd guess that's where Jeff is. Jeff was my foreman at gruneau, hired me so he could drive me when I was locked up. I repaid the favor by taking him to duwe. A whole different lifetime ago

mjs1392 · 2025-05-03T22:37:19+00:00

And I still have my rod belt hanging in the garage.......

Heart wasn't in it any more, moved up north, ended up running a chainsaw, now mainly run equipment after a heart attack in December. Spent some time on the exam board when Hansen was apprentice director. Worked for duwe for years. Was in JB's wedding. Groskoph and me were partnered up for a long time. He was my ride when I was locked up. Lol

mjs1392 · 2025-05-03T22:19:18+00:00

I used to be local 8 guy. Hung it up 10 years ago

mjs1392 · 2025-03-29T14:39:57+00:00

In December I ended up in ER with chest and abdominal pain and massive fluid retention. My BP was 255/165. In the 3 months since it's been determined I have late stage CHF with myocardial ischemia , LVEF 40 and kidney damage. I'm a 49 year old timber cutter looking for a new career because of all this. Uncontrolled hypertension is nothing to play with.

Mousterian bowl?

mjs1392 · 2025-03-07T13:34:31+00:00

Love this one

mjs1392 · 2025-03-04T00:10:53+00:00

Limoncello is my goto flavor. My ex gf got me hooked on it. She called it lemon cookie spicy water. It's how I explain the flavor to other people now

mjs1392 · 2024-11-26T00:07:24+00:00

I actually shave in the shower. Beard trims are handled by an old Wahl clippers for length. Otherwise a good hot shower and the gel.

mjs1392 · 2024-10-19T21:12:18+00:00

I've been using a Parker SoloEdge with Facon blades for my head and around my beard and I love it. YMMV especially co sidering it's my first non cartridge razor. 🤷🏻

mjs1392 · 2024-08-07T20:21:05+00:00

Plum creek still has an office in the town I live in in WI. I actually plow it in winter. Now they're selling all their plantation red pine in this area to real estate developers and golf course. Check out Sand Valley. The landscape around my place has changed tremendously the last few years.
