ever seen one?

fires these bolts of construction grade steel

their about 10 inches long
real tough
takes a shit load of grain to get em moving

obviously not good for much outside of armslength

but damn if they cant get a particular job done

no. no idea what those are but had lunatics firing a nailgun into the apartments I was working in. I ducked behind some sheetrock when things started richocheting around. By the time I got up and dared peek out they were gone.

Had a good idea where it come from by sounds and guys yelling. They didn't know I was in there.

But then there are lots of gunfights in San Antonio and border-line witchcraft.

if your boss will spring for the tool
you buy these made up wire ties
and then lickety split
you done made the bond

its trick

us wage slaves have to do it the hard way

cut the wire
then twist it round

ive used that tool before
you still have to jiggle the bar to make it work

it always reminds me of finishing off taking a piss

its nice working on a benchtop
everything cut marked and placed

if the job was big enough

they'd send out parts all made up
we'd just crane them into place

but we still had to tie them in

I just did 3 twists of a wire roll and SNIPPED it off with wire cutters.

Had to dig 3 foot deep foots by hand 1 foot wide. Your digging on hand at time eventually.

Pit gits deep.

Your hands and knuckles grow raw and calloused over.

Digging in South Texas dry soil.

One guy collaspsed and had to go to shade

Thats when they brought in the beaners.

"Hey.. you beaners there... "El fucking Stoppo go to housee.. ..hacienda..>

"Er. oh shit whuts that mexican word for stop... grr. "

"ALTO ! go to CASA .. "

It were my job to git them beaners back up on the truck each day and leave none of them stuck lingering around.

The last thing you wanted in 1984 Texas was beaners caught workin' cross the border. lol no one cared. We all were equal and beaners.

Once a beaner your always a beaner. How much higher can you go?

Do you likea de sauce?

swear to god
if i got taught anything
it was how todiga hole

important for structural integrity

then we'd build the forms
then we'd clean out the trenches

then we'd pour

tie that bar together real good

If this is one of those gastrointestinal challlenges then you better back up a lot more from where you are now.

had this job where the local jurisdictions was particular about the wiring

boss told me that the inspector would twist off wire nuts to see if the copper underneath them was twisted

i found this insulting
