Is TUT interested in buying a Power Tank at a bargain price? I'm going to sell mine.

I saw the cows moving about way to soon after feeding. I got a bad feeling so I went and checked on the area where I fed them. I found a fresh dead calf. It couldn't have been dead more than 1-2 hours max. I also found a fat wide paw print, but before I'd returned with my camera the cows had obliterated it.

Called my rental agent to find out that the tenants showed up, turned in the keys, did not want to do a walk through, and left.

Went by the house. Still has trash in the house. Refrig not empty. Carpets not cleaned. Well, no real cleaning done. I am not happy. I am seeing most of their deposit staying with me to pay for all that stuff

Ick. I could see where being a slum lord could bring the suck.

I have I think a 10lb complete system from OffRoadAir

They are $250 new. Mine is three years old but never used. It's been collecting dust in my garage since I bought it. No place to fill it here.

$100 + shipping to TUT

No siren. We were supposed to get them put in at the end of the year but the government ran out of cash. Surprise! Flashy lights tho. When I was in Oregon and had some nice emergency equipment. Once in a Stratus and once in an F150. Looked like your house on Christmas when i turned them on!

Welding shop? Restaurant?

Hey TUT.

So, check out my employer's abso-fucking-lutely craptastic health insurance for 2009:

$400 a month
$8000 deductible.
$20 co-pay for regular doctor visits
I'm liable for 25-50% of everything other than regular doctor visits. (labs, x-rays, surgery, ER visits, etc...)
30-50% RX drug copays

Best yet, almost NONE of those copays count towards my deductible!

So, I'd be paying $4800 a year for the privilege of paying $8000 a year out of pocket for health care, so that they can pay only 50-75% of anything!

Holy fucking shit! And people wonder why Toyota would rather build plants in Canada and deal with Canadian taxes, regulations and Unions than build hereand pay our healthcare premiums!

Looks like we picked the right time to be joining them, too.

Kidding about restaurant. They would not have what you needed to hook up to a bigger CO2 tank and the pressure would probably be the same. Pepsi/Coke place? You would need an in I guess. Our shops here fill my kegerator bottles no problem.

Shit ain't free.

I thought your employer was the state? They should have a better deal than that.

When they replaced her on Overhaulin with some dumb ass ditz who knows next to NOTHING about cars, I lost my interest in that show.

I've never seen her besides in her role as the announcer between all the spike "powerblock" shows
based on that, I was under the impression that she was the dumb ass ditz

Well that, and the fact that they found that the workforce in places like Alabama need instructions for their jobs and operating machinery given to them in form of pictograms cause they're so undereducated they have problems comprehending written language.

Mine kinda sucks. Even the Chiropractor made fun of it and my employer is pretty big and should get a deal.

No, I'm a contractor. I'm employed by a consulting firm.

Seriously though, at this rate, I may as well be paying Finnish taxes. I might even wind up ahead doing that. And, at least I'd get the best public education in the world and 8 years of paid college tuition for any future kids I might have out of the deal, too!

And, you know what the really shitty part is, Sean? Of all the money people spend on healthcare in this country, barely HALF of it goes to pay you and your fellow healthcare providers for your services. We spend 16% of our GDP on healthcare. More than any other nation in the world. Practically double most countries with Universal care. And, we're 29th in the world for infant mortality, 48th in life expectancy, and 19 out of 19 industrialized nations measured for preventable disease rate. 75% of what we spend on healthcare goes to pay for chronic, preventable disease that wasn't managed earlier. For profit health insurance is massively failing. Think what it might be like if that wasted 50% that never sees the inside of you bank account anyway could be reduced, to say 10% You'd take no hit in pay, and there'd be another $1.2 TRILLION that would find it's way into other sectors of the economy rather than paying insurance companies to mismanage our healthcare, to fuck over patients, and fuck over doctors.

This is a small town.

There is a Pepsi warehouse two blocks from my house, but I don't know any one there.

If I decide I need a CO2 tank on the truck the way to do it is to get a tank from the welding shop. They sell me a full tank and when it's empty I exchange it for a full one. It's kinda nice 'cause you don't have to worry about the tank getting recertified, etc. This is how I did it with my MIG welder, just bought a 5lb tank, it was cheap for the tank itself.

If I had known that ahead of time I wouldn't have spent the $$$. The welding shop way would probably cost me half as much.

I could do the same for a kegerator bottle probably.

Cause I worked there for two years.

You know what's scary? Working for an engineering firm constructing a chemical facility that produces phosgene gas, and half of the laborers working for the contractor have to flag you down on the job site to get you to read specs to them.
