I just got rained out! I ain’t standing in the rain and welding! My supervisor was unfazed as you can see by the look of disdain she is giving me.
Stop in for a cup of coffee

Hey Rick. Glad to see you stopped by.Oh come on now!!!!!!!

Stuck in my office today manning the phones.....
Minding the store. You are da' man!
What's some of the latest parts to come in?
Very true, they rusted so easy because of inferior build and parts
True story......
When I was fitting/welding high pressure ammonia pipe, we had a "Labor Day" tie-in at the Armour hotdog works in Martin City, KS. We were connecting newly installed equipment into the existing main trunk lines coming out of the compressor room.
There was a thunderstorm in progress and the rain was coming down pretty good, lightning strikes down to the ground and thunder all around.
These welds had to be made...or 500 people wouldn't be going to work on Tuesday.
So they hired a local guy...to stand on the roof next to me and hold an umbrella over my head while I made those welds. He was complaining about being on a roof in the middle of a lightning/thunderstorm holding an umbrella.....I told him I wasn't any happier about the situation than he was, because I was holding a welding cable with about 100 amps going thru it, so just hold the damn umbrella still and I'll be done as soon as I can....because I don't want to be here either...
My leather welding gloves were soaked, I was soaked, and even with nitrile gloves and plastic bread sacks inside my welding gloves, I still got little tickles every time I had to switch out welding rods.....
When we were done, we packed up our stuff, got the hell off that roof....and I clocked out, went back to my motel room and got into some dry threads.....
Never did see that part-time guy ever again
Fun times......

3 packages "Out for delivery"
The one that's been MIA since the 7th magically appears, but I missed the driver...
One package still shows "Out for delivery"
The third one changed from being delivered to not arriving until the 31st

Wow! Amazon is usually really good here. May be because Lauren is a prime member and things come in 1-3 days.

I won't complain then.
I'm a Prime as well... It's the geography
No Uber, No door dash, Pea Pod or anything of the sort. Can't get a contractor to come out here either.... But I'm only 7 miles off a major state highway.

We got prime as well and what used to deliver in one to two days now takes up to five! Full disclosure we are well off the beaten path. Some would argue we live on the road less traveled!
I can’t complain either. Prime here is usually 1-3 days. Sometimes same day. But I also move very close to an Amazon hub
