Armed Eye Doc Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 Rene, I hope your last day of servitude is pleasurable and you can tell all the people who deserve it to f-off. Good luck with retirement and I hope you can afford all of the guns that you will have time to build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DNP Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 (edited) Congrats! It's a loooooong way away for me. Although I'll be home not working soon if Cali has their way. Keep us posted on the new hobbies as they start showing up. Relax, heal well. I look forward to getting a chance to meet you someday soon. I'd say beers are on me, but rumor has it I might not be able to afford that. So, a few beers on me when we meet up.

We had to roof in the curb and managed not to get the roof $hit on us... and still ran 100' of 3" and lay out the about 150 yards. across the roof. To day we layed out a hole in the wall to Electric vault ,,fuk room was 110* and layed out a hole on the side of the building and installed louver. Gave and sold [my Laser plumb and horiz/vert laser lines. Nice one from Botch and all my hand tools spread out among the young guys coming up.

DNP Posted May 28, 2017 Report Share Posted May 28, 2017 Gave and sold all your gear??? You're committed to not "coming out of retirement" for anything in that line of work. Smart move. You to the old boss-"I'd love to help you on that, but I sold all my gear years ago. Good luck with that project, I'll be here working on the bike and drinking beer if you want to stop by." you might miss that laser when you get some of your new chores at home. I don't wanna see curtains at uneven heights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unforgiven Posted May 28, 2017 Report Share Posted May 28, 2017 done...... Had a couple of the boys stop by the house. Made some ribs. One of the guys from Tennessee sent some homemade moonshine one apple one clear. Clear was like gasoline. one of the bros put a little on the fire and it flamed like gas. Great time was had.
