I cutting some plate out at work and had some slag drop through a hole in my pants into my boot. A little different, but pain is pain

I don't have a ATV or anything like that, but I'm about to get a Jeep to work on to go muddin. Living in NC, there's no shortage of good 'ol mudholes. Where are you at BigSauce? Baton Rouge, LA. I used to have a '97 wrangler. Easy to work on and soo much fun to drive We used to go four-wheeling at ...

Why not try the same with the combustion chamber? maybe some good stain? Its a start... That occurred to me as well. Forget ghetto...build a nice 8 sided wooden chamber and maybe add some barrel staves around it. :) Gotta say, the barrel look would be very cool. All it takes it a little time a prid...

I'm 19 and I still play in the mud. IMO, you're never to old to get muddy just for the hell of it. Anyway, me and my buddies has a favorite riding spot in LaPlace known simply as The Spillway. Its maintained by the South Louisiana Trail blazers if anyone wants to look them up. Next to the parking lo...

Hey man, at least the barrel is pretty cool. Why not try the same with the combustion chamber? maybe some good stain? Its a start...

Did the guy (kid?) look "special"?

Haha he seemed almost normal to tell you the truth. But from now on, I look at all their employees with new eyes...

Well let me give a few more details since the capabilities of my only camera (phone) are pretty limited. The side that looks threaded is, in fact threaded. But not to NPT standards.

Sure enough it wasn't stocked, so I asked an employee to cut one for me. All seemed well, he chucked the p...

Junk cars. Windows and doors especially

Fine taste in music Spudmonster! You picked up where I left off. "Country My Ass" by Dale Watson, "The Ballad of Gator McKlusky" and "She got the gold mine, I got the shaft" by Jerry Reed, "I gotta get drunk" and "hotter than a two dollar pistol" by George Jones are some quick favorites of mine

Jethro Tull Journey (don't stop believing :wink: ) Van Halen Dire Straits Twisted Sister (haha :D ) Pantera Some good bands there, I frequent Pantera and Jethro Tull mainly. :) The only country i've listened to is Kenny Rogers (The Gambler ofcourse) It seems that no matter what genre of music a per...

Whats fun is asking a new kid at Ace for 2.5" pvc fittings. I usually act like I'm in a rush and in dire need of those fittings. Its kinda fun to seem em sweat for a little bit. It seems like nobody can find them... :lol: If they happen to have 2.5" fittings, try asking for 1.75" fittings :lol: :lo...

Anyone on here into country and western? I have listened to slipknot every now and then, I have a few pantera cd's, but you just can't beat country and classic rock My main rock interests are: Styxx Bon Jovi (the good stuff) Jethro Tull Boston Journey Van Halen Dire Straits Cheap Trick The Guess Who...
