Nate, been retired since 06. Walked in the office and told my Boss HE
was fired. Damn that felt good.
Been there so long they thought I would never leave, then when I decided
to leave, they didn`t want me to go. Funny how that works.
And the place has survived the past 14 years w/o me. Imagine that.
I wish I had my Knowledge and skills too, forgot more than I know, wish
I paid more attention along the way. There is more than we know, then
when you finally do know something, no one wants to listen to you.
Iam not a welder, but can lay down so pretty good Bubble Gum. LOL
Put enough on the project it should stick together...Right.
I do have an older Lincoln I bought for $600, looks kind of like this one...
but older.

I want a 50amp for a welder in ea shop and wired for maybe 30 amp for
a compressor. And then maybe add a lift.
I have a friend that is the county building inspector, had him come over,
and he walked me through the project, and gave me 4 electrical cont. he
knew. Couldn`t get with them, too busy.
There building a new tire shop in town and saw a contractor there, and talked to them.
Guy came over in a couple days, and this is where the 400amp started.
Run the power from the pole underground to the shop, eliminate the
over head power to the house, slap a 400amp on the wall with the meter.
Run power to house underground (in the ditch I already dug) and eliminate the meter on the house. It was a dead end, they wouldn`t call
back etc....
I go to the county to get a permit, but Iam not the contractor.
NV Energy is working down the road, talk to one of the guys, he is the Inspector. Ya got to go through us first before anything can happen.
Go to Carson City office and get the paper work started. Give them a rough
design, and a $1K to get it rolling.
Go back to the county, and now I can get a Permit. Iam the contractor now
Funny how this all works.
PNP
I went to PNP yesterday to pull the fender off that 94 Ford PU for a buddy
of mine. I get about 1/3 the way up the hill, and the next 2/3rds of the yard, all the cars are sitting on the ground. They took all the Wheel Stands
out from under the cars, and put them on the ground.
Well that`s special. Now how in the heck ya going to pull anything?
I was there last Thursday 2/25 and they were all up.
Talked to a worker, and seems like maybe a car fell on a customer in one
of the yards some where. So knee jerk reaction, put all cars, all yards on the ground. We`ll see where this goes.
And the 240D I got the Suspension from, is gone. wanted to pull the Head.
OH Well.
Yeah Nate, you can definately get your exercise walking through the yard.
Ours is up hill, and I must bring every tool I own...LOL as heavy as my
Wheelbarrow is. If I leave any tool in the PU, some low life will break in.
Had that happen in the Moss Landing yard.
Iam dead tired when I get home, but had a great time. It`s my therapy
session.
Talking about Tube and Know. The house we rented in Santa Cruz, had
that type of wiring. Must have been built in 1930. Moved in temporary.
and were there for 27yrs.. us and the termites.
