Best Thing To Do?
trainman0978 replied to Bang_Stang's topic in Off Topic - Random, Misc posts - the forum "Junk Drawer"
the worst that could happen has already happened. Think of it that way, and things can only go up from this point. Best advice I was ever given. -
I Almost F*cking Died Today
trainman0978 replied to Twigz's topic in Off Topic - Random, Misc posts - the forum "Junk Drawer"
Hahahahaaa.... said the same thing in his other duplicate thread... -
his last two posts were four minutes apart. Why am I even humoring this response..... Oh yeah, can't sleep again. Dustin, you buying that silverado ? Also, one day some time soon we should meet up at home depot or lowe's out in pooler . you gotta hear this imprint deck that Alpine came out with....

so you changed your mind in four minutes ....

Yeah the airport is not the place to lose your temper. Thats what kills me too. You get shit on, they call security and suddenly your a god damned terrorist. FUCKIN BULLSHIT all the way.However, they now owe you for losing your pay at work tomorrow, the cost of somebody babysitting your other child in sacremento tonight, all of your expenses while in atlanta, and your fare should be refunded in full. The fact that they held you in atlanta of all places. Altlanta airport is way to big and has way to many west bound planes leaving at all hours for you not be on a plane getting closer to home.

So I guess they threw you in a hotel. Damn, in college park of all the spots in atl around the airport? Sucks. Atlanta is a really cool place, but too bad you can't see all of the good it has to offer and be stuck there against your choosing. Yeah I would be blowing a gasket too. Raise total fucking hell with the right person at Delta and you should be able to get your cash back and a free trip home. Hell If I lived in Atlanta I would come and take you and your son and show you a little of the " L.A. of the South " . Savannah is 3.5 hours south of you though. Sorry Man. I can't imagine how pissed you are about being stuck in a place with no way home. Fuckin airlines can't just shit on people and be like " oops... sorry " . Yeah , climb the managerial food chain until you can get somebody who can make you happy. I can't believe they didn't offer to fly you to another west coast city and let you catch a flight from there back to sacremento....Atlanta has planes taking off like every 4 minutes, and it is one of Delta's biggest hubs in the world. I am sure they could of sent you to LAX and then to sac, or even vegas , salt lake, portland, seattle, denver, somewhere, to get you on another connecting flight. Better than being in a hotel in a completely foreign town, when you woke up this morning thinking you would be in your bed tonight.

Well Its In
trainman0978 replied to Gazoo_bumpin's topic in Computer Talk - News, technology, advice
X2 I use it and I love it, My old man got me using it . Only thing is it updates each day as soon as you go online. It doesn't prevent you from starting to visit websites, but it slows you down just a little bit for 2 or 3 minutes until it gets done. But , It works VERY VERY well. -
more than likely you will have to cut the head of the bolt off and drill the bolt out ( try to use a bit just smaller than the bolts diameter) and then run a tap through the hole to clean out and rethread the hole. It is a pain in the ass, trust me. I broke the head off a bolt the other day from over tightening a small bolt with a wrench that was way to big for a 10mm. bolt. Could not feel the tension due to the leverage, had to get a left threaded bolt remover (kinda like a tap , also known as a easy -out ) to pull it out. But in your case you have some threads still holding the bolt in , and if you can't pry it out you will have to drill it out and re-tap it. If you can pry it out, you should still probably run a tap through it to repair the threads. I would recommend using a loc tite on the bolt when you do put the new bolt in. Use the loc-tite that is semi-permanent so that you can remove the bolt again later if need be... good luck man....

hell yeah. thanks for tha links. Trust me though, with the low profile BFG's and the big lift, the sterling logo on the steering wheel, the massive wheel adapters on the front axle to put a semi bolt pattern wheel on it, Man , this damn thing looks like it could pull a damn dump truck through a mud hole. I have NEVER been a fan of a dodge truck of any sort , still not, but if I had the cash, and was in the market for a dually I wouldn't think twice about any other truck. This shit just looked bad ass .

Alright, I was in augusta Ga the other day for work. This truck was at the Mercedes Benz dealership. This thing has 22" alcoa wheels, with some kinda huge rear axle that is not from dodge, They took out the factory fuel tank and installed a air tank in its place, and moved the fuel tank behind the rear axle. It has huge air bags over the axle, and it appears to have the factory front axle. either way, this is prolly the baddest dually I have ever seen. No price tag on it, and the dealership was closed when I walked by it after dinner.

Okay, this website is strange. Most of the time it is just pics of various things, and I mean anything at random. usually pretty funny stuff. Sometimes though there is stuff posted that you cant read. I just ignore ithose. But random off the wall shit, just go to the link and see the page it pulls up first and you will see what I mean. anything from cartoon drawings, to nature pictures, to a tank being pull from the mud in eastern europe, to pictures of people past out drunk and on many other things. At the bottom of the page just click the "prev msg" to go back one page. View, repeat. Or up top , go to the oldest message tab, and start from the beginning. There are about 3000 posts , and be warned, some of may be funny, some of it may be gross, but it is , without a doubt, completely random from day to day.... I book marked it over two years ago, and I usually check it every couple of days, sometimes it goes 2-3 days without anything new. halbot mail

while you are in the south east, you gotta stop in at eat a huddle house or waffle house. There is no better way to eat bacon and egg flavored GREASE with a glass of sweet tea than at one of these 5 star establishments. I don't think I saw anything close to this when I was on the west coast. Naw, seriously, hope the mom is doin well man...

I think if you go thru pay-pal ( maybe some national banks too ) you can set up a escrow account , meaning this. you put money into the account. He can pull the account up online and verify the money is there. But - this is where it protects you. He CANNOT pull the money out of the account until you unlock the account after receiving the motorcycle . Of course paypal charges fees to do a regular transaction, and I am sure this is even more expensive. Doing this though makes both parties aware that the other is serious about the deal, and this kind of account is created specifically for this type of shady sounding deal. You don't get the bike, he doesn't get the money. END OF STORY.

The 2008 Masters
trainman0978 replied to 99GPGTX's topic in SMD SPORTS CENTER! NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, COLLEGE....and MORE!
fuck the masters. The crowd in augusta has made my job hell this week. I was assigned a job that runs only to augusta from savannah and back for two weeks. When I travel ( I live in motels 60% of the time ) to augusta for work we stay in a hotel about 3 miles down from the golf course. I have a corporate lodging card and stay in this hotel year round, sometimes 3-4 times a week. I have had my reservations cancelled by the hotel, I have been woken up by maids and told to check out, with nowhere to go and very little sleep , and it is impossible to get into any restaurant within walking distance to get a meal either before or after spending anywhere from 8-12 hrs on a train in the middle of the woods. These hotels can charge up to 300 bucks a night during masters week, and they require a either 3 or 5 night minimum reservation. My corporate year round rate ( company pays it , not me ) is like 30 bucks a 24 hr. period, no check in or check out times . The hotel owners that love our business all year when it is slow treat us like shit when the old golf drunks show up one week out of the year. This has a trickle down effect, since there are no rooms, every train crew that comes to augusta this week has had to be sent back to their home terminal. We have a private company wide taxi service, ( they have about 6 drivers in augusta ) and they are slammed driving every one back home to where ever they came from. This meant that yesterday morning I sat at the railroad yard office for a little over 5 hours waiting on a ride home, after spending 10 hours ( all night ) on a train. I just wanted a shower and a bed, but nope. All on account of a damn golf game.
