I'm moving one of my 5 stores to the shopping center across the street from where it currently is. Added an additional 1500 sq ft for the new location.

Hoping to be open in the next 7-10 days
You can clean pools IN the store?

Bwahahahaha....that's my business partner. Neither of us have ever operated a scissor lift before and the rental company gave me no instructions. But I didn't wanna sound like a bitch and ask them either
Operating machinery is like the first time you have sex... you know what you want to accomplish but aren't sure how to get there, so watdya do? Start taking some covers off, stick your finger in places, grab a few things. Your three outcomes are: you finish your goal, you are damaged but will heal, crippled for life.
See, they are exactly the same.:flipoff2:
 
How many of these Starlink (or whatever it is?) satellites are up there now? I watched it pass for 8 continuous minutes. Not sure how long they were going before I noticed.

wow no shit
that's cool

I remember in the mid-2000s looking in the sky and seeing the geometric pattern of the GPS satellites or the lineup in geostationary or whatever, but they were nowhere near that dense, there were probably 6-8 of them in a line from horizon to horizon equally spaced, with a second line interspersed between them at a higher inclination or whatever. I was like 10 looking at it, only sorta knew what I was looking at...
 
I remeber being at 7k feet in the mountains and being amazed watching 1 satellite traverse the sky. Now on a clear night I can see 20 to 30 from sea level. The amount of junk mam has put up there in the last ~35 years is astounding.

Yep. I remember camping out deep in the Rubicon River gorge 20 years ago, sleeping bag only, no tent. It was rare to see a satellite. May see only one a night.

Now at night sitting in the hot tub with about a 180 degree view of the sky, I can’t go two minutes without seeing one.

They had this scheduled to take 3 days. Finishing quick leaves more time to fuck off. :laughing:
are you paid by the hour or job like flag time?


an old friend works for a local Toyota dealership and during the Tacoma frame recalls he could do a frame swap in 20 hrs. Flag time was 40. he said he took all the frame jobs they would give him. He said he made bank those years.
 
Today's adventure at work......

New bearing is already in and the house is back on the track frame. Got some hoses to hook up and the outer bolts to torque but not bad for two guys getting all that done before lunch. :smokin:
Man you work in a bad part of town. Come back and your equipment is up on blocks because someone stole the tracks.:flipoff2:
