well lets see here. the title went well. proper grammer and capitalization and everything. Im going to say that it went quite well. of course, one sentence into the post itself there are problems... that is to say no capitals. oh well. cant say that im going to miss them.
I am a welder. i love to weld. there is something about burning steel that i just enjoy. i blame my cousin for the addiction. He brought over a welding machine to store in the garage when i was a kid and said to me "Hey, check this out." So i do, and i love it. What else is there to say but "hey sweet, i just heated steel up to 2200 degrees C and melted it to other steel!" Naturally my mother is absolutely pissed, because she wanted a doctor or a lawyer for a son. she usually doesnt catch the people she goes after with her spoon, but by god did she ever catch my cousin.
I enjoy sparks, fire, loud noises, and building things. i've also discovered that while i dislike the pain, i do enjoy the smell of my own burning flesh, although the time that i inhaled a hot spark through my nose was a bit much.
Outside of work my favorite things are booze, food, politics, family, video games, water sports, (like skiing not peeing you jackass) riding scooters, screwing with efficiency on vehicles and zombie movies. i've pulled more couches behind a truck than i and all my friends have ever owned.

ReplyDeleteI'm giving you access to my blog. Just don't screw with the settings. I'm linking to this one as well.
ReplyDeleteOnce I get your email address, anyway.
ReplyDeleteI was going to be a welder but my Dad said I should get a real trade. So I became a pipefitter.
ReplyDeleteOh, hey, remember how I said the elderly were less likely to get H1N1 because of previous exposure?

"2. Are older people already exposed to H1N1, and thus resistant?
Yes and no. People born before 1950 may have encountered, carried, or been actively infected with a similar strain of the flu, according to a CDC report in May 2009 (MD Consult news). Past exposure means a potential for current resistance. But not everyone over a certain age will have been exposed, and even if they were, it is not certain that they will have maintained any degree of resistance. On an individual level, this fact should not affect whether a person get a flu vaccine. I think it’s best to consider this piece of news as an interesting explanation for the lower-than-expected rate of H1N1 in the senior population."
HAH!
pipe fitter huh. screws and bolts...
ReplyDeleteim not certain what operating a torque wrench has to do with being in a real trade, but i certainly admit they get paid better than the majority of welders.
