After all these years of welding I think you develop a tolerance for heat. Hot molten diddy balls landing on you and you don't stop because the bead is more important. And knowing how to pick up and hold something hot. Countless times I've set something on the bench and had someone try to pick it up right after. "Why didn't you tell me that was hot?!" Well I figured you knew lol.

I just bought a 12' inflatable boat & 20 Hp outboard. I wanted a boat that would be lightweight and easy to travel with to carry along in our Sprinter. The boat was only about $750 , but the outboard wasn't so cheap. It should be great for exploring the coastal waters and lakes around the country.

Bought my sister Reesa this horse corral today, they just delivered it tonight. I bought my sister Annie a Singer sewing machine but I guess I'll have to get her something else as well now. And they'll probably get me a coffee mug or candle from the dollar store for xmas but I don't mind. 🙂

Something I never thought I’d own. My own bar for my house. Actually, a table for the grandkids.
[/url] I didn’t spring for the stools, way over priced. The bar with the old bike was pretty reasonable, though. The bike is an Asian copy of the venerable Raleigh DL-1. Just another bit of useless information tucked into my noggin’. I’ve owned two in the past.

I'd love to see a pic of the bar and bike without the stools.

They are made to order, so I should see mine in 2 to 3 weeks. I’ll get a pic before the grandkids grandkid it.

I've been wanting to get rid of the too damn quiet exhaust on my Ram 1500 since I bought the truck but the cat back systems have been way over priced. I ran across this one yesterday for $73.31 and couldn't pass it up. I'm a gear head and like my vehicles to sound as good as they run. So I'm giving it a pair. lol I can hear the Tim The Tool Man Grunt in my head. I know what I'm doing Sunday. Beats the hell out of paying $300 plus for Flowmaster.

That's a good price, Jerry! I bought a cat-back Flowmaster for my son's '04 Ram earlier this year for $166.49. It was a decent kit and it sounds great. That said, it's more than twice what you paid.

I just checked and it dropped a couple more dollars. lol From all the videos I've watched on it the exhaust sounds great. UPS tracking says it will be here tomorrow.
