Tarheel Posted June 9, 2016 Author Share Posted June 9, 2016 The tile floor snickered at the tile breaker Incremental progress though. The first worker was a no show. The second came and looked at it and declined. The third brought his tile breaker and worked for an hour and quit. So I called a tile worker and carefully explained the floor composition....an inch of mortar, metal lathe, thin set, tile. He says he is not scared He has heavier tools for the job. Cost is an unknown Looking forward to having coffee with akdave Saturday morning while he is here in the Port City 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JL Sargent Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 With my family visiting out of state kin I'm at home alone. So I decided to splurge a little today. I'm cooking myself a bacon cheeseburger for lunch. Yeah, I know, getting crazy around here! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard that all the employees at certain Honda plants in Japan wear white overalls. At the end of the day the employees are inspected on their way out of the factory. If the boss sees grease or dirty clothing, it sets off a red flag, they don't want to see anybody dirty. They also start their day off in the parking lot doing exercises to warm up their body…..a more efficient employee. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like getting dirty....I mean yea I do get dirty but I wash my hands countless times a day.... if I spill something I stop what I'm doing and clean it.I've had people tell me that I'm the cleanest mechanic they have ever seen, people have commented on how clean my shop is....it's just they I am. Could you see the owner of a $50k RL with dirty finger prints on his car.... I think a lot has to do that I was a avaition mechanic in the Army and when I got out I worked on the Baltimore City Police helicopters for awhile. Oh yea and I exercise everyday and during the day... MKP :-) Edited June 10, 2016 by MORE KLIPSCH PLEASE 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean she still makes no sense when talking to her.... but she's happy... Glad to hear this, it should make watching her a little easier. I know this has not been easy on everyone but in the long run you all will be glad you did it and had this time, everyone should have people who care for them when it's there time. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well my truck missed that change by 10 years, it's an 89 Hey I'm cheap, that's many years of truck payments I missed, but it is the old plain style, nothing fancy at all. but it runs good and has 43,000 original miles, I'm thinking it will outlast me. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtimer Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 I thought every year was a huge change, and a new vote for truck of the year, and higher prices to justify all the huge improvements. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
