Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I bought a new table saw, which is 220V, as opposed to the 110V job I have from before. After I got it home, I remembered that I had removed the 220V outlet that I had used for my previous table saw, which was 220V.
Today, I removed the j-box cover and discovered that I have the proper color wires so that I'm certain that when I connect the saw it won't explode because I hooked it to the power wrong. That's a $5k sweaty eyebrow wipe, for sure. |

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
The Queen and I took the girls and their husbands to the Journey concert, in Dallas, Wednesday night. TOTO was the opening act. Both bands were amazing. Like most bands ''Live'' is much more intense than you hear on the radio.
The girls were raised listening to CD's of the rockers of the late 60s thru the early 80s so they knew most of the words to the songs. Our trip sing-a-longs were driven by the likes of Seger, Heart, Beatles, Aerosmith, ZZ Top etc. These old band concerts are great for people watching. Some of the old gals trying to look like they did 40 - 50 years ago (without much success) and the old guys struggling to make it up the steps going to the pisser 5 times...LOL! But the really cool part is seeing the multi-generational attendance. Like us taking our kids and others taking kids and grandkids...all knowing the words. Rock will live on. The music puts you back in a time when we thought we had forever...to live. !! ROCK ON !! |

Journey and Toto? Did they have to dig Steve Perry up before the concert? :lol: I shouldn't make fun. I'd be one of those old guys running to the pisser. |

I went up to the hardware store to get wire and conduit, etc., to run 220 to my new table saw. I was looking at jacks and plugs and other such nonsense when I remembered that I had an extension cord that I used to use for a 6 HP planer-molder that I have since sold. Since the new saw is 3 HP and draws less amps, I'm going to save myself a couple hundred dollars. All I need is one jack on the end of that cord that my saw can plug into. SCORE!

My German Shepherd drinks out of the toilet. (gross)
I had to pee real bad today and had to wait in line because he was already in there and he won't move. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/gallery/...uke_Warhol.jpg |

I see rolls of romex for sale on FB Marketplace. Pictures of rolls and rolls. Yeah right, you bought all that but don't need it?

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I think it was last week at our store we had a bunch stolen. All of the rolls of wires are now cabled down so you have to ask an associate to use their special magnetic tool to unlock them. Next the associate walks the cable up to the register so the customer can purchase it. No more handing customers anything expensive and letting them roam. The amount of brazen theft is shocking to me. I had no idea this was a thing in retail. I figured yes a little here and there, but I see it every single day. Makes me think twice about the human race.
Apparently someone figured out the correct way to open the special locks/alarm and somehow loaded a bunch on to a flat cart. Next they went out the back of the lumber area into what we call the bullpen. Its totally locked and fenced in. They tossed the spools of wire over the wall to their buddies. I think it was between 10 and 13K's worth of wire. |
Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Makes my blood curdle. They don't want me seeing that. Doesn't anyone wonder why someone would be pushing a heavy cart across the store not toward the register? What lumber can you add to a flat cart with wire rolls on it anyway? I'd knock them out from behind with a 2x4 lickity split. I'll take the charge. The world needs more brave people.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
You have to know some of those thefts are done with inside help. I worked for a large lumber company for 30 years and from time to time some employees were caught in the act.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
At my son's store they find toilets or vanities sitting out in the garden section. Thieves use the boxes and load them full of power tools. Sometimes they get caught. If my son (if he's subbing at a register) sees a box that he even thinks has been opened, he inspects the contents. Nothing like finding a welding machine in a vanity box. Customer says, "Hey, how did that get in there!?" and wanders off. People grab the battery-powered DeWalt combo pack (drill, driver, circular saw, etc) and just run out the door with it. Employees are not allowed to chase them down. People are moving to California because they raised the felony theft limit and the police won't even go after people for misdemeanor theft. Their system is short hundreds of generators. That had to have been an inside job.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Tim only problem is the guy you knocked out would probably win a lawsuit against you and the store . When I bought my 1/2 inch Dewalt impact I had to walk up to the register with an empty box they had the stock all locked up. They put the empty back on the shelf . A few days before two guys walked in grabbed 2 drills each and walked out.
Employees have been instructed not to stop or even approach the thief . |
