Yes I is!! Good night all.

We have some rather eccentric friends with five kids who at one time went out and bought a pet pig. After it reached 500 pounds, they reluctantly decided to have it slaughtered, because it was starting to eye their children with a suspiciously hungry look.

LMAO....Now that's information I could'a used in some bars when I was active duty !

I had to use a ear of corn with a treble hook and some 550 cord to get some of them sows off the dance floor !

Trolling for hogs was an EOD Olympic Sport ya know !

Stay safe !

ROFLMAO .... your reply brought forth a memory of when I was a Cop in Thomas, OK ... A sheep herder had a barn just at the edge of town .... and I can't recall the number of times on a Friday night ... while I was making my patrols ... I had to run off HS students from the barn .... :)

Yeah, right.....sir.

Sorry, but it's in my upbringing, this constant urge to call any honest man endeavoring to do his honest best, "sir."

I know it sounds archaic and old-fashioned and perhaps even artificial (but if one actually hears me utter the word, he discerns immediately that it is sincere), but one cannot go against his grain.

That's me. I'd say "Sir" to a light pole, if there was any doubt.
I upset the college kids working in the office when I say "Yes Sir" and "No Sir".
It's just a form of respect for their education and the fact that they have degrees in engineering, and I'm just an old construction worker with 30 years in the field.
They view me as someone with more knowledge and experience.
While the experience part may be true, the knowledge required to calculate loads, uplift, and seismic load paths is beyond me.
I just look at the plans, and determine whether or not the work is right.
