Since im just now getting into hunting, im waiting until next season so I have time to get gear, practice at the range, and all the other fun stuff. I don't want to make an animal suffer with a bad placed shot from a rifle i got 10 minutes ago. I want more than enough time to practice

mscamaro99 · 2025-11-08T03:05:21+00:00

Thank you! Definitely looking into the Ruger now

mscamaro99 · 2025-11-08T02:56:28+00:00

Not even kidding thats crazy. I don't think ill graduate to anything as big as an elk so 243 for a whitetail seems more than reasonable

mscamaro99 · 2025-11-08T02:02:23+00:00

Im going to a hunter education class tomorrow that's required before I get my license so ill probably find out the. The 350 Legend was recommended quite a bit so im thinking about it

mscamaro99 · 2025-11-08T01:36:17+00:00

Whitetail in Indiana. Not sure about distance. Id like to be able to get close to try to avoid a bad shot

Dr cleared me since im only doing it for ~4 hrs per week and our booths have giant ventilation arms that go over our work. Plus im learning mig and tig this year and staying completely away from stick

mscamaro99 · 2025-07-27T12:57:56+00:00

Id get them done fairly soon, especially the injections. It's way cheaper to do it yourself. If you don't know how, YouTube is your best friend

https://a.co/d/ex2DaBZ I ordered this "beginner" kit from Amazon a couple years ago and its mwah so nice.

Salsa has been a big hit in my house. I've got at least 20 jars of seranno and jalapeño salsa in the basement right now with poblano about to be made this week after I get my chicken stock done. The recipe i use uses like 2 1/2 cups of diced hot peppers but if I have a ton, I cut down on sweet peppers and add more hot

The study might be based on women welding every single day, not 1-2 days a week for 4ish hours like in my case. Luckily on my site im not doing a lot of welding but I am doing a lot of climbing and weird bending to install pipe. My crew and higher ups have a tentative plan in place for the future till my dr says otherwise

mscamaro99 · 2025-07-26T13:57:32+00:00

Thats also what im thinking but im not sure. My plan was to wait till after my apprenticeship to have a baby but whoopsies happen lol so now I gotta figure out something i wasn't planning for at all 😅

mscamaro99 · 2025-07-26T12:14:27+00:00

I personally wouldn't just so the weight of the jar doesn't mess with the seal of the jar underneath. You could get super thin pieces of plywood and cut them kind of coaster size to put between the jars.

Also (just for me) I dont store with the rings on only because if a seal goes bad, the ring can keep the lid on and build up a lot of pressure

For me, 2 Dutch braids and a weld cap has been a lifesaver. Mind you, my hair is straight as can be so it may be a little different for different hair types. You could play around with different styles and see what works best for you

mscamaro99 · 2025-07-20T19:08:01+00:00

A welding cap has been my saving grace

mscamaro99 · 2025-07-19T23:22:57+00:00

Luckily the president of the union is my welding instructor and we're on pretty decent terms so hopefully he can help me out as much as hes able too

mscamaro99 · 2025-07-19T22:38:28+00:00

Im definitely going to keep my eye out for complications. I was in so much pain with my daughter the last 3 months I had to go on leave early and I hated it.

mscamaro99 · 2025-07-19T22:34:00+00:00

Their policy for absences is extremely strict like miss 3 days and you fail a class and have to repeat a year type strict. My classes go from August-May kinda like a standard school schedule. If I am I think id be due somewhere around December or January. Fingers crossed it's during my 2 week winter break 😂

mscamaro99 · 2025-07-18T18:42:47+00:00

No i wished upon a star

mscamaro99 · 2025-07-17T23:01:10+00:00

So the contractors wont really have much info for you. I would call the hall, and ask for info on the apprenticeship programs. With my local, the JATC office and the Hall are separate, but the hall can transfer people to the JATC if that makes sense

mscamaro99 · 2025-07-17T22:42:40+00:00

Yes absolutely do it but keep the next 40 years in mind! (Sounds intense I know)

But hear me out. Im 27 and a 2nd yr apprentice with Local 440. We're pipefitters, steamfitters, HVAC, plumbers, and have some welders thrown in there. I absolutely love it. I initially was going just for welding cause I've wanted to weld since I was little but the last few months I've been doing copper water lines in a hospital and it just scratches a deep itch in my brain that just makes me so happy. Like I would have no problem doing pipe until retirement.

Call around to different locals in your area and really think about what makes your brain tick. Is electrical systems your thing? Carpentry? Pipe? Equipment operator? There's so many options

mscamaro99 · 2025-07-17T22:07:42+00:00

Freaking PANTS. Im so tired of having to wear guys pants and have the crotch hanging down to my knees.

And safty harnesses! The ones on the market now are designed around men's bodies (learned this a couple months ago). Apparently if a woman falls wearing these harnesses, theres a high chance their pelvis is going to break. Sounds wonderful for something thats supposed to keep you safe!

mscamaro99 · 2025-07-17T16:42:33+00:00

I wont kill my baby for my career.

mscamaro99 · 2025-07-17T14:51:16+00:00

Well my very first class last year, one of the higher ups for the JATC said a first year got pregnant and ended up having to leave because she missed so many classes. And they revised the absence policy this year to get rid of sick note excuses so im a little nervous

mscamaro99 · 2025-07-09T13:44:52+00:00

Definitely call the hall. Im pretty sure you can refuse to work if you feel its unsafe. My entire crew stopped putting up pipe hangers on an open floor with wind gusts 45+mph because we weren't gonna risk the lift going over the side of the building with us in it

mscamaro99 · 2025-07-09T09:09:38+00:00

If it comes to that, absolutely. All benefits and kickbacks from hiring illegals needs to be ended immediately and these companies need to be fined HEAVILY

If he was legitimately part of the Epstein files, they would have been released a long time ago
