Just can't bring every job into the shop to use them convenient electric welding machines, so I dusted off the Bobcat and went mobil.

Is that a dual purpose program?

"Weld & Mow We can do that too"

:o

Yea, well I proved one thing, all them guys who say you can't weld with propane cause propane ain't hot enough don't know shyt.

That little blue rig welds just fine using propane.

It's even got a plug and connector for that fancy wire welding thing JT is sending me for Christmas. I can hardly wait. I just gotta figure out where to mount the Co2 cylinder and I can be really cool.

I can even get some fancy lettering like Storts has. The phone will be ringin off the hook. I gonna be rich, just gotta remember to make no more than $249,999 or BoBama gonna tax me hard.

Just spit it with Jack the Welder,I hear Joe the Plummer 1 more time!Im going to Urp!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :P :P :P :P :P :P

JT Metalworks - October 20, 2008 06:52 PM (GMT)
Pfffttttt That wire welding thing you wanted went to some guy down south, and he's really happy with it.

The other wire welding thing I got rid of recently was my thermal arc mig, and you wouldn't take that if I paid ya from how you've bad mouthed them since the day I got it. So I sold it for a grand to a happy buyer. :D

With the sale of the thermal, I actually turned a profit. Buying it when I did, before the big price increase (thermal stepping on ebay sales that were basically wholesale price), then taking a single year tax deduction on the machine in `05, and then selling it for 80% of what I paid for it - I made out with positive cash flow and essentially got paid to own it for 3 years.

You ain't entitled to urp Jack, you're just a lowly weldor.

In order to urp you gotta be a member of the enlightened chosen class, like that bigazzed wife of Obamas who hates AmeriKa. Then you gotta eat a couple lobstahs and some Iranian caviar with appropriate beverage, and then you can urp.

Lowly people who actually get their hands dirty making money only get to puke.

Write that on a clipboard Jack and memorize it! Remember your station in life!

At least now we know why Obamy wants to sit down with that ragheaded jerkoff who runs Iran; He's gotta make sure Bitc#2's caviar supply ain't interrupted.


Franz© - October 20, 2008 07:07 PM (GMT)
Just to make Jack happy

storts1 - October 20, 2008 07:17 PM (GMT)

Far as I'm concerned anybody wants to eat fish eggs can have my share, and they can have that raw fish they all line up for too.

I know the difference between food and bait.

Them gawdamn lobstahs ain't nothin but garbage eatin bottomcrawlers, but Charlie makes some good dollars off em so I won't say nothin.
I just feel so sorry for that biga$$ woman havin to eat all that high priced room service food cause she can't sit in MickyD's with the common folk cause she was opressed. The b!tch don't even drink American wine, she drinks Bollanger.

Now Powell and Biden are both primin the pump for AmeriKa to get attacked right after the punk gets sworn in, and we will respond differently. Shyt, didn't anybody learn anything from 8 years of Clinton?

JT Metalworks - October 20, 2008 07:35 PM (GMT)
Joe was on Huckabee this weekend.

He's not a plumber yet. He's just trying to buy a company that does plumbing.

I've owed back taxes before too. Back before I learned you need to keep buying stuff for the business or else they pound you in the exit.

I was doing lift kits and dropped suspensions in trucks and there wasn't any overhead as I worked in my parents driveway (while I was living in an apartment and couldn't work on vehicles there). I owned all my tools, and there's only 2 hands on your body, so how many sockets and wrenches do ya need, right? Tax time came around and it nailed me because my payroll deduction was too high (which was supposed to compensate for my side work income) so I hadn't been paying in enough. BAM! $5K IRS bill... (it was a good year)

I didn't have 5K to give to the IRS, and I didn't know you could hire sleazy lawyers to negotiate them down, so I ended up paying in over the next couple years with no refunds.

Is this behavior we want to punish in this country? I went out and ran a business on the side of my normal day job and produced services for other people who needed them, while at the same time supplementing my income from a regular job I didn't think paid me enough to do the things I wanted to do. Isn't that what this country is supposed to promote? I didn't beg my bama for a bigger handout because my section 8 housing isn't good enough. I was out there working!

Billy Heck Franz; ain't yous got no knowledge about Lobsters. They be fussy eaters>

Lobsters usually move around and hunt for food at night. It was once thought that lobsters were scavengers and ate primarily dead things. However, researchers have discovered that lobsters catch mainly fresh food (except for bait), which includes fish, crabs, clams, mussels, sea urchins, and sometimes even other lobsters!

Now Uncle Franz, youse gotta put a caravan back of the welder and then you got traveling working living train that youse can pull all over the country making a living. :P

PS: take cash only! :D

Right now the lobstah catch'n industry is going right down the shytah. Catch is down, price is down and cost is up. Have an order for fifty anchors from one boat and ten for another boat and some repairs. That's about half of what I should be doing in their off season. Got two other boats thinking about ordering but I ain't seen any money yet and I ain't holding my breath.

storts1 - October 21, 2008 05:04 PM (GMT)

Franz© - October 21, 2008 05:48 PM (GMT)
Ummm Jack, it's about time somebody told you, and since nobody else will it's up to me.

What people been serving you as lobstah in that Surf & turf deal wasn't real lobstah. You been getting Smerf & turf, and even I won't tell ya the turf part was reconstituted armadillo that made the trip to the tabel wedged between dual tires from Texas.

The other thing Jack, Joann became a criminal when she married you. You oughta be ashamed of yourself ruinin that poor girl's life the way you did.

Just pay the damn government Jack, the politicians need money for their lobstah dinners. Look what happened to them levies in New Orleans when the $$ for fancy dinners dried up.

Dem NawOrlan's lobsta ail's ain't real Atlantic lobsta. They's crayfish tail's.

Who the hell can afford Lobstah when the price of gas has been over 4 bucks a gallon for so long?

On the good side, this might just replenish some of the lobstah stock.

egon - October 24, 2008 09:54 AM (GMT)

At those prices not even the Loberstermen can afford Lobster. :(

Cost of bunkerage and gear should keep them all in port! :(

Well,God knows we have and plenty of gas!!!!!! This am,as the world markets are crashing,,there saying closer to 2 bucks a gallon before thankgiving for gas,,as Oil was trading at 64 a barrel,before they shut down the fueturs market!!!!! :huh: :huh: :rolleyes:

egon - October 24, 2008 02:12 PM (GMT)

OPEC has cut oil production. Back to the upward spiral ? :(

Franz© - October 24, 2008 05:06 PM (GMT)
That doGdamn futures trading was more responsible for retail oil proces than anything else. Bunch of bustards livin in NY apartments just getting fat off the people who use oil.

This whole damn economic downturn has plenty of roots in futures and derivitives trading. The damn fools running governments haven't got a clue, but they are all willing to make a buck trading when they get a phonecall tellin em what to buy or sell.

What really pisses me off is that I bought $3400- worth of #2 oil just before the crash started. There is a lot of money bein lost on heating oil this year.

storts1 - October 24, 2008 06:42 PM (GMT)
Franz,I dont know what the oil co's up there are doing,but here in ct. the people that locked In!!!!!!! are screwed,,,The Oil co's.are holding them to there lock in price,,there was 1 ONLY,that let the people get out of the lock in price!!

Even out Attorney General,who is a SOB!!!!!!!!!!! says,that a contract is a contract,,and NOBODY reads all the print that you need a mag. glass for! They were just so happy to have signed,Just under 4 bucks,when the salesman are telling every one if a barrel of Oil goes to 200 bucks,as everyone but Trump predited,Oil for the house would be over 5 Bucks!!!!!!!!!!

So 1 small oil co,made the news,and looked like heros,saying that they could not take peoples money,and there kids woulnt have christmas,,Boy is he one Popular Guy,,and has tripled his buisness in 3 to 4 days as a follow up story last night,, Now he needed 2 new Oil Trucks,and hopes the banks will lend him the $$$$$$$$$

There has to be a end sometime,,!!! my litle buddy in china sent me a email this am,saying the markets were all closing early in Aisa,, He doesnt really understand how the whole system works,But what they can get on TV over there,,thats its going to effect the us markets big time,,I heard on the radio coming back from your fav. doc,that oil was just under 61 bucks a barrel!!!!!! Makes No since,,usually when the market takes a killing,oil gos up,,.This is more like a crap shoot! Flip a coin,, :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

As for mcCains age,,follow him around everyday!!!!!! Hes in better shape than us!!!!!!!!! :D :D
