Johnny Come Lately Name

I just noticed they’re Old Bay Go ahead, eat away. You won’t be able to tell if they’re bad.

So you’re implying I’m not a pro? <reported>

“Here now, long gone, three freaks in a Vanagon” from Anti-Summersong by the Decemberists immediately popped into my head when I saw the post title.

WTH? My Dynaplug came with a mount: I added the two small zip ties as cheap insurance that it will be there when I need it. They can slide up the bottle cage with the caps.

I read the post title in Canadian and said “PRO-cess”.

That kid’s got some real muzzle velocity! When it achieves teen status and alcohol is involved, I foresee some epic drunken projectile vomiting.

Oy. I worked third once - as part of a double. Even though I slept for about six hours of that shift, I never volunteered for it again. There was one shop I worked in -days- that had windows that looked right into the backyards of the houses next door. I’d come stumbling in to work at 7AM - hung over, sometimes - and look out the windows and see the guys who lived there and worked 3rd at the wire mill, drinking beer, smoking weed and playing horseshoes. “Ugggghhhh”. Second shift I did several times and really liked it. I could get home at midnight, get seven or eight hours sleep and have all day before I had to go to work. I built my other house that way - work on the house all day, go to work and get rested up, lather rinse repeat. One of my coworkers used to say he liked second because “by the time you get to the bars, the girls are already drunk and you don’t have to buy them anything”.

I prefer poitín

You can now….

Only 8 pixels? Sounds like it has a really cheese ball camera.

I’ve used “not necess-celery” so often my spell checker no longer chokes on it.

It occurred to me (at 2AM ) that FNG told me they said they vapor polished the old one. I’m thinking that process may have been part of the problem. Or, perhaps whatever they put in this thing - or the vacuum it’s been subjected to (although I’m pretty sure it’s low vacuum) may have stressed the material and it was just waiting for some sap to clean it with alcohol.

Former workplace, we had a sparrow get in the shop. One of my coworkers thought he could trap it in a box by luring it with a Twinkie. He set the whole works on top of a short wall. We forgot about it for a couple of years. When we finally did look at it, it looked the same as the day we put it up there - just really dirty. Fun fact: coffee with Cremora will not grow mold.

Like that, but with a touch more delusion.

Stale, maybe. Lethal, I doubt. Junk food has an infinite lifespan.

His half-assery has become a running joke between the FNG and I. We keep finding stuff Hoarder has half-assed. Yesterday, two students came in with a football they wanted some air in. (We wear many, many hats!) (And yes, I called one of the kids Tom Brady). I was busy so FNG took care of them. I later noticed a frame pump sitting on the table. I asked FNG where it came from and he told me he took it off Hoarder’s Africa Bike (moron this Monday) to try to use it to fill up the football…but it doesn’t work. The funny thing is, when Hoarder was here, he had a sign over his bench that said “Every job is a reflection of the person who did it” and the huge irony was lost on him….

What bringing him (back) on board did was make it so I wasn’t running three -sometimes four - machines at once. As my new coworker has told people “He (me) needs roller skates “. He worked there for 35 years, but the thing is, it’s the only place he’s ever worked. He learned everything he knows from our former boss - who was tack-sharp but CHEAP - and our other former coworker who knew quite a bit, but was lazy as a pet coon. When I came there and started doing stuff, Hoarder was amazed. He had no idea of any of the stuff that goes on in the real world. BUT…he also half-asses his own stuff. He thinks of himself as a car guy. He has a Checker taxi that he prides himself on. I saw him unlock it one day in the parking lot - he had to slide the window down and reach inside to pull the button up.

Nope. Used it all yesterday.

GO WILBUR GO!

DILLIGAF

Funny, when poutine was being discussed somewhere else (reddit maybe) and people were going “but where do you get cheese curds?” and I was like, “Where don’t you buy cheese curds?” Damned things are everywhere here.

FSOG, FROS…IDGAS

Jokes on you. I already have my own two man sub. I bought it off the back of a comic book.

From what you've posted previously, it sounds like they did you a favor. My previous employer did. Still, it's nice to be the one going out the door with your finger in the air.

Hey, I don’t mind owning and fixing my OWN mistakes, which I did BTW:
