first week at cat went pretty well. operated a grader yesterday.

That is awesome brother! My father got his start as a field mechanic for Catapillar. He actually bought one of their service trucks to start on his own 30+ years ago.

Little window shopping today and have narrow my brands to Ruger, Springfield, and SW.

 

Next week some hands on and then I will have a better idea.

Your wife to eh. My bedroom is fucking purple.

Maybe I am missing the point too.

Seems the only way to make your car as efficient as they want, would be take the driver out of the combustion chamber equation. As in a hybrid. Look how efficient locomotives are.

Then again you will get a bunch of motherfuckers that don't want to be like the smug fags in California.

Then she's getting a Ruger.

She does like Ruger, but we were looking for something she can buy me today. I think she was seeing what all is offered so she can say there is no sense in buying just one.

I really hate that I'm asking this, but is this a full brisket or just the flat or point?

Your i7 and pair of i5 machines and churning it out something serious. I need to count the cores we have combined. I was able to get that old Xp box up and rolling once more. The cpu is nothing special, but the GPU is hearty and chugs along are near max with out issue. I think it's the GT430, last big one that is PCI IIRC. I need to get a GPU for the i3 at my office. That chip cruises along nicely on most of the projects.

With some of the old parts we are now making a bound dedicated machine.

I stayed home from work today. Or rather I helped one of my managers move some adjustable bases then went to my store to do morning check ins and then went back home...... I have a sinus infection, so I talked myself into a little rum.

If I don't watch it when I feel a little sick it will turn into something serious fast.

Wife and I even left a really fun show last night early so I could get into bed and catch 8 hours.

Happy surprise was my boss didn't even question me. I told him I would stay if he really needs me to run the team, but it would risk missing more days next week. He didn't bat an eye and said go home.

Shocking how a sales company cares more about its people than a hospital... HR in a hospital that is.

Being self-employed is nice... If I show up I make money, if not then I don't.
