This is how i cracked a 19.5 Alcoa towing this backyard digger derrick to replace all the outrigger weldments. Kept losing air and tires were good . Second one. All accuride wheels from here on.

And my air brake tool kit. Knocked out a full truck with just these tools and still had 3 put 4 lights on.

This is the new Milwaukee m18 1" cordless with 1800 fy lbs of torque. Now i can do them without an air compressor( all these trucks have out riggers so no jack is needed)

X2 all I use is Milwaukee M18 stuff at work. Took everything else home for light tinkering use. I just wish they would make a small compact 1/4” ratchet.

Checked my cameras today. Bow season came in today and the wife is gone with her crossbow. Hopefully she can get this one.

Wasting time... second “random”drug test in 3 days. 3rd time I’ve taken my crew to do this quick little job 90miles away just find out they ain’t ready for us. Someone broke our generator on site and now I have to drive 120miles to get a new one from the shop.

Ya hear that? It’s me banging my head against a wall while burning a money tree.

Man I wish they did drug testing on the crew doing renovations at my hotel. Seems like half the people are high most of the time. Their work is shotty and I am always having to pickup after them, fix their problems, etc. Drug testing would probably eliminate all of the bozos but then they would be short handed and even further behind schedule. On the flip side maybe things would be done right

Get used to it....with mj being legalized everywhere, more and more younger workers are going to start testing positive. They never think about the consequences of their actions.

We warned our son about it when he got out of college....luckily he listened before he got hired at his job 4 months later.

we have guys testing positive for cbd oil now, apparently they can't get all of the thc out of it. I'm sure some were malingerers that were smoking also and used it as an excuse. The ironworkers union does follicle testing.

It's not very far off. The old guard that is dead set against it "solely for monatary purposes, lobbyist for big paper and cotton" are all dying off or being voted out. It's wayyyyyyyyyy less of a problem than alcohol for sure...

Make it all legal.... and hold on. Let natural selection take its course. This place needs a good cleaning.
