Started a new job. Diddnt stand up when introduced to the CEO. oops. Then he got me beers after work.
Think I've asserted myself as the new alpha here...

Well this morning we started our day by heading to the airfield where my new manager took us up in the conpanys cirrus 4 seater aircraft and gave us a 2 hour aerial tour of Dallas and the area.
First time in a little plane like that. It was fancy though. My coworker got 30 mins stick time (he's a new hire too) they where like "hey we can land and switch seats if you wanna play"
I said yeah Fuck that ill crash. (My coworker has flown a bunch before,me never)
Ate lunch at a burger joint that makes everything in house. Burgers, buns, sodas everything. It was pretty fucking good.
Found out some more good job details. Ill be getting a week off for free after my training and then 1 month off every 4th month, paid.
Now im drinking a wifebeater at an English pub I found a short walk from my hotel (I was worried I was blacklisted from this chain but nobody said shit)
And i diddnt even have to use my AK!

Ahaha. That's the perfect name, right?Replaced a storm door, and put snake away down at the property perimeter so no more "Mr. Shitheads" (thanks
What kind of snakes? I don't like snakes all that much, but I'm cool around them if they aren't venomous. Unfortunately most of the snakes I see are rattlers and water moccasins. Fuck both of those species all the way to hell.
I used to be fine around them, but I've had too many close calls over the last decade or so. I know several people that have been tagged by a rattler, and it is not pleasant.

Found a 2 ft and a 3 ft moccasin in the yard the other day. Ol' lady freaked. Hence the snake away.

Yeah, those guys can be bastards. And a bit aggressive. Hope the snake-away works, I've never tried it.Found a 2 ft and a 3 ft moccasin in the yard the other day. Ol' lady freaked. Hence the snake away.
A bolt broke off one of our machines. It was threaded through 1/4 thick steel and for some reason some idiot spot welded it in place so I couldnt just unthread it and put in a new bolt. So I took the part off the machine, drilled a new hole, took a tap & die set and re-threaded the hole so a new 1/4" bolt could be threaded through it.
Worked like a charm.

Me too. I hold great enmity for shit that rolls up unwelcome on my property.
I'm not sure it's manly, but pressure washed the house and deck, cut some 1/2" EMT and pounded them into stakes for securing some 50mm comets, and packed for camping.
I'm also packing a 9mm if that helps.

How did you hook it up? Is there a port that it goes into or what?Installed a trailer brake controller this afternoon. Going to pick Pineapple up from the RV shop and drop her off at the storage place.
Add to my count of manly things done today:
1. Consulted with an expert on how to hook up a trailer brake.
2. Moved furniture out of an office and up 5 flights of stairs for my ex.
3. Yesterday, painted her office for her.
Haha, my truck has factory installed tow package so has a 7pin adapter already wired in and a connector under the dash. And they also make make specific wiring harnesses for the controllers so just had to connect the wiring harness to the connector, secure the ground and route the wires under the dash and attach the mount with a couple of screws. Bam. Ready to rock and roll! Now, if only my trailer was already fixed up haha
Yeah, who?
