@Mopar Tim my full resume is nearly 4 pages long and that’s with just 1-3 sentence under each job. :lol: I trim and Taylor it to only show relevant work experience for whatever position I’m applying for. But if I do use the full one, recruiters typically go holy hell Batman

You for get, I have met you three times. I know you are not a country bumpkin...
 
I’d love to be in that position, which is why I went the insurance agency route. Thought if I could generate enough business to eventually hire out most of the work, I’d be set. But after doing the math and realizing that even with the highest commission rates of any insurance companies, I was barely making 2-3 bucks an hour IF I sold a policy. Each policy only took 10-15 minutes to actual sell to someone but the massive behind the scenes documents they required meant 3-5 hours for an auto policy 8-12 for a life policy and 2-3 days for a homeowners. I did the math and realized that to hire just a single person and pay them minimum wage even, I’d had to sell 2500-3000 policies a month. To just turn a profit. Nope, done
Commercial Rental Real Estate Ownership is the answer.........:):D

Gotta have the start up capital is the thing. I don’t have that. Plus, around here, Cummins buys up pretty much every commercial property that comes up. Even the small ones. The only ones they don’t mess with are gas stations and former mechanic garages. I’m guessing due to the risk of EPA stuff
 
OMG, I have an RV forum I visit, guy there is talking about over torquing lug nuts. The guy thinks you can tell if a nut is over torqued by setting the torque wrench to max value, then seeing if the nut moves before the click.
I told him you need to loosen and re torque....only way to tell what the torque is...

Yeah he’s nuts. Our policy at the fab shop was anything that needed torque was torqued down 10 percent less than recommended, then backed off and tighten back down to full spec, then loosened again, and retorqued to full spec for the final time.

Achieving designated torque happens while fastener is moving.
when i install wheels, i run nuts up with my impact on the low setting,then hand torque. I road test and go around with torque wrench to see if any are loose.

the steel wheels rarely require a retorque,any above 140 ft-lbs are never loose after a road test.

Buddy’s son tightened wheel nuts with a flex bar using all he could muster,and kept tightening every day for a week. Not enough to break them, but going to be difficult to remove if he gets a flat.
I have had to remove nuts with my 3/4” impact,some people just dont think.
 
You just need to grab the right gal dang drill bit and fix it.
That was a joke.. and attempt to shift the conversation. Did that last time you all suggested it. Then rtved the hell out of one and shoved it in. :thumbsup:
 
I don’t think it’s you. Our WiFi fragged tonight and I had to reboot it. It kept saying that the connection password was incorrect, but of course it wasn’t.

I think some internet IT geek (or geeks) are messing with settings again. It’s not just on this site either, my browser on my desktop hung up 3 times today and had to be rebooted...regardless of what site I was headed to.

OK. Thanks for mentioning that. Using a hot spot here. Latency (Ping & Jitter) is about twice as high this afternoon as normal. Thought it might be in the website or browser, but I think its the 'net.

Reminds me of an engineer when I worked for Caterpillar. I was on and R&D team for a new machine. They were trying to lighten it so it could be dropped from C130's. The engineer told everyone on the team that he would change the torque specs, because torquing nuts compressed them and compressing them makes them denser, which in turn makes them heavier. We all asked him if he was serious and sure **** he was... He repeated it and then proceeded to argue with the head cheese about it.. He didnt last long there.

Kind of sounds like the debate my lead engineer is having with his counterpart, arguing over which is lighter, a plastic case or one made of 6061 1/8th aluminum
 
Funny youall mentioning wheel torques. Reinstalled a wheel on my wagoneer yesterday after measuring axle play. Used a S-K click type wrench and then just to compare whent to the other side. Surprised that 3 or 4 (out of 6) moved before the click. Those were all done with a digital wrench a few months back. In this case I think I'm more consistant with the click wrench...

Digital torque and micrometers are banned right now on MOST DoD projects for that reason. They tend to be more inconsistent and have to be checked for calibration much more often. And that’s the expensive good ones that cost a **** ton.
