I've never felt them going in...... might have been the shot they gave me before the stitches,I felt that basturd

[dazedandconfused]

Oh I feel the shot and them going in. It numbs it but I still feel them pulling on it

[DMan1198]

I've only had to get stitches once. On my face. The needle only hurt when it was pushed into the wound, then it just felt weird. Getting them out also felt weird, but oh well

[BC847]

Aw geez.

What a day.

[dazedandconfused]

Aw geez.

What a day.

I see you had a wonderful Monday too.

The last couple of weeks, it's been copper-theft.

So far this week, arsonist.

We dealt with the copper theft thing a few years ago. We have yet to have someone set the school on fire though

[Tacoclaw]

Are there even any schools in Kentucky?

[dazedandconfused]

Yeah I pay out the ass for school taxes to boot. I work for a college in Cincinnati and I see all kinds of crazy sthi.

These days I have all my guys as well as contractors spray-paint ALL exterior HVAC&R lineset copper with International Orange.

That does a couple of things:
- It immediately knocks the dollar value of the scrap from #1 to no better than #2.
- Um . . . . don't even think of scrapping any copper with International Orange paint on it in Wake or surrounding county's, NC.

The more recent involved some really stupid individuals who actually came to the scrap-metal dumpster just outside my office. In the middle of the county maintenance and operations complex! Came back from lunch and caught'em.

So...

Exactly one week ago we had a high temperature of -13* and a wind chill around -40*. Today we hit 49* and I'm hearing people ride by on crotch rockets. If I can still do math, that's a 60+ degree temperature swing in a week's time.

[BC847]

Yeah, we had lows in the single digits a couple of nights last week with the daytime high in between of 24 I think it was.

This past Saturday, we had a high in the 70s, with heavy rain, strong winds and tornado watches.

They're calling for snow come this Wednesday . . . .

We butchered 5 hogs 2 weekends ago, got all 5 gutted and 3 cut up and wrapped up, left 2 hangin..

they got so froze dang near couldn't cut them up the next morning, I have never had that happen here.

and I have had my head and noise stopped up for going on 3 weeks now, this stupid weather is nuts.

I'm setting the framework for some truck projects to come and doing some deferred maintenance. I got new battery cables made ($100) and bought a new battery ($200) with 1125 CCA. I got kind of ticked when my truck wouldn't start by itself at -13 degrees.

This machine always seems to get its way

What size battery is that? It's not a 31 for sure, they're best is 950 CCA

Not always,some have 1125cca. I've one in my truck now,and one in a tractor. They are however difficult to find,mostly from part store employees not wanting to look (least is my experience). I did find out that bigger could be had "if" one was to swap to threaded stud posts.

I could bother my parts guy for the part# again if someone was interested
