Yeah I was thinking about getting some weld inspection tools in general just to have. I suppose someday it wouldn't hurt to become a CWI too.
As for learning stick-I got to learn on a 35' straight body grain truck-kenworth t800, Cummins 255, 9 speed eaton fuller tranny. No clutch except to start and stop.

Well as of 5:30 I have officially passed my first weld test. Only one little bit of undercut that opened that was still passable. And then he put me on some vertical t-joints to get that down after we bent her. He also sent me some new 3/32" rods to try since the others were older so we'll see

You could Jeff, but you didn't and I thank you. Any others who try to twist my words will not be appreciated-just a full metal jacket reference. Besides not having a good day. AP calc test all morning, go fishing for two hours with a buddy and get nothing, two minutes after I leave he catches a 15 in bass, then I get to run vertical 7018s for 4 hours and then drive another half an hour back home. Maybe Thursday will be better when I go back up there and run more vertical.

Then happy for the friend who caught a good fish.
Matter of perspective.

Well...we actually were having a bet (just a $5 wager) and he caught the fish where I was fishing at so that's it. Not mad about him catching it-more just the irony of me leaving and then two minutes. Still would have rather gone fishing with him than sitting around on my butt regardless. And I can't get mad at a guy for catching a nice fish.MinnesotaDave wrote:Most people I know are happy to have gotten to hang out with a friend fishing.Farmwelding wrote: To be honest the main thing I'm mad about is the fish...

There IS a second meaning You didn't really believe I would actually advise you to eat seafood...did you? Instead of the tuna taco...look up "the wound that won't heal" or squack.

Words can not explain how many strange new words I've discovered here. Kind of disturbing in a way.

The guy who doesn't edit his "text-to-talk" is giving a grammar lesson?
That's the biggest smile I've had all day!

Funny story Steve...
First, I felt like I should get one chance and it is Jeff so...
And secondly, I don't use text to talk. I just type and have fat fingers
