Tractor trailer... sometimes referred to as a truck by those who don't know any better. A truck is like this: Or this:

We don't use pork blood for that...at least I don't. Usually it's beef blood. Most of the blood isn't just poured down the drain either. It's absolutely full of proteins and other gums that are used to make foams and resins. (Packing peanuts and tennis shoes)

I kept saying that I know these people who did the research on these things...what? You thought I was stretching the truth? I really wasn't...more often than not I have been accused of understating things. LOL Our friends all have at least a master's degree... about half have doctorates...

I can understand their hesitation if you have ever been through the slaughtering process. It's a long day of a lot of tedious, nasty work to slaughter a 300lb hog. Refrigeration has made it to where you can break it up some. But it's still a lot of work. Pork fat is valuable these days...

The most difficult part of custom artisan furniture making is selling it. It's not for everyone. The market is small and demanding. They wanted it yesterday and in a different color. Which usually means that you have to hire someone else to sell the stuff. Artisans are usually lousy at selling...

Sokay... Wees just talking. Financially we are good. Wifey works and her career is escalating. She works with all the research scientist. Virologist and oncologist and epidemiologists. I want to go back because the kids on the job need me. And I get bored. And the money can help fund a...

See... But we aren't allowed to make someone else stumble so eating anything is verboten. We can only drink spring water out of the same plastic cup our whole lives. And since clothing has become a thing too... We wear sackcloth...large and excessive amounts of it. Not too much because that...

I am a morning person... I haven't missed a sunrise in.... can't remember. I've been off work since quarantine with a bad knee. (God's way of keeping me down) and I still get up early...I'd get up earlier if I went to bed at a decent hour. I will once I get vaxed. I'm not sure what we are...

Night owl eh? Sun isn't up yet here in TN...it's @ 6 am here...and Tuesday.

I've been wanting to try smoked eel one day...there's been a few people talking about it. Never tasted it yet... doesn't mean that I don't want to.

Oh I know...I covered this in later posts. I was discussing factory minimum wage jobs like mattress making or furniture manufacturing. IKEA furniture is cheap.

I like harassing Farouk about his tattoos and vaping addiction. He is hyper sensitive about them because he believes that they are going to send him to Hell. So in his mind he wants as many Christians to get them so that he can be spared...as if that's going to work.

Maybe... But the economy is very different than it was before when it would work...I'm not so sure that it will anymore.

Some of the newer ones don't even have the settings you are talking about. You set it for the type of metal you are welding and that's it...auto sensors do the rest. And not that expensive either. I was amazed at how inexpensive the portables were anymore. The filler wire and gasses weren't...

The unintended consequences of raising the minimum wage. Sure I understand about the benefits to other countries... somewhat. But the increased costs is what is really going to put a pinch on those who can afford it the least...such as retirement centers and elderly care centers. They pay a...

Here in Nashville TN if you tried to offer employment at minimum wage the only ones that would show up to work would be crickets. We have long since not paid those little wages. There are a few earning those wages but they are in high school still living with their parents. So...no... don't...

Okay... So you understand something about the Tech stock markets... Now if you had claimed knowledge of micro Bio-tech stocks you might have some legitimacy...but you haven't. I happen to actually know the guys who actually have done a significant portion of the research needed to develop and...

Do you know their names before they became apple or Google? Even Amazon wasn't Amazon in it's early days...

I was wiring up a new miller plasma cutter... That thing was sexy as all get out. I tried it out and man oh man can I get creative with that thing. Works nothing like the older models. I heard their new mig welders are the same way...a whole group of electronics that takes all the...

Your income average results are skewed with all retirees and SS and welfare recipients included in the mix. And I'm discussing average, nuclear families. Average single parent households do usually have around a 60,000/yr average income that is NOT adjusted for child support payments...
