Transcript

SPEAKER_01 0:00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 0:01

And uh after I'm like, yeah, I told him, you know, what what what he'd said about uh you know, kind of looked at me like, why is there a new coil of nails in the in the dump truck? You know, I said, Well, I mean, you could try straightening out if you want to, but if you even if you get it straight enough to put back in, there's probably gonna be two nails that are stuck together. It's gonna jam your gun up and da-da-da. And uh, I'm like, but if you want to spend 15 minutes trying to get it straight, and I'll give it one shot in my gun, uh, you're more than welcome to. Otherwise, it's gonna stay in the dump truck. And Chapman goes, Do you think Chad could benefit from going and hanging out with him? I'm like, you know what? Chad's pretty tight. He's uh he'd fit in well over in Israel. Uh but you know, you might be on to something. Chad could use uh some polishing up, maybe. Uh because Chad's been spending money lately.

SPEAKER_01 1:03

I like the fun money spending Chad. Let's not get rid of him.

SPEAKER_02 1:08

I didn't say get rid of it. I'm just saying, you know, like I haven't spent that much money. I mean, could that leg have been saved if you'd used one more screw? Um let's let's kick this up and we'll talk.

SPEAKER_05 1:23

The leg could have been saved if it would have if Abraham the way you wanted it mounted, or or if it was thicker, which would have needed me to know I needed to mount it clear to the outside.

SPEAKER_02 1:34

I just they just showed me the picture of it quick. I didn't get a lot of context on it.

SPEAKER_04 1:39

That sucks.

SPEAKER_02 1:40

Kick tires at the fires.

SPEAKER_01 2:03

I know. Welcome to Heat True to Garage where friends come together to show their love of life, creativity, everything in between. He, she, they, thems, dumbasses that shingle in the rain. Oh, wait, that was your line, Court. Sorry.

SPEAKER_02 2:18

Uh, that was almost a hurricane.

SPEAKER_05 2:21

Almost.

SPEAKER_02 2:22

Almost.

SPEAKER_05 2:23

I I know what it was like driving back in it, so I can only imagine what you guys were doing up on the roof with it.

SPEAKER_01 2:28

We got down when it got raining harder.

SPEAKER_05 2:30

Once it started more of the strong wind afterwards.

SPEAKER_01 2:33

Oh, yeah, after it was done raining, motherfucker. Let's let's let's circle back to what we were already starting to talk about. Chad, what happened to you today?

SPEAKER_05 2:43

So uh finally got the dining table done to the extent that I was happy with it and was ready to deliver it. Got loaded in the van, got it all the way to my brother's. We're sliding it out, me and my brother on one end and Ethan on the inside because he's smaller and taking weight off that side. Oh, it got caught. The carpet started bunching up when we didn't catch it. All of a sudden it's caught, ripped the leg pretty much to clean off. Not quite, but motherfuckers put a good crack in it. Say, I'm just gonna unscrew the top and leave it here and take the legs back home so I can fix this properly.

SPEAKER_02 3:20

So and this time it's gonna be done the way I want it done.

SPEAKER_05 3:24

Uh we're going to so I got it glued back up. You can basically barely see the crack. Um, I should be able to all the way hide that. Um, I'm gonna put a like a probably a three-inch long block on each end of each apron with longer screws going into the middle of the leg versus short screws on the outside.

SPEAKER_02 3:45

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 3:47

That'll work.

SPEAKER_05 3:48

And we're never gonna have to take it apart. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 3:51

Now he's gonna be able to throw her up on it and for some extra curriculars. Hey, see, under normal use, I don't think it would have ever it was just the angle that it got twitching.

SPEAKER_05 4:02

We were moving at a a rate of speed that was higher than we probably needed to. Oh, were you guys in a hurry? Apparently. Was the rain coming? Uh no, we were just ready to get it out.

SPEAKER_02 4:14

Oh, that rain was for real. It was so you've got it mostly fixed, so you just gotta do your bracing.

SPEAKER_05 4:23

The leg is all glued up. I'm gonna give it overnight to all the way dry so I can put the screws back into it, and then I'll start doctoring all the corners of all the legs, giving them the Chad Sellers treatment. Give it some extra support. So total might bring it back Tuesday.

SPEAKER_02 4:43

Tuesday, Tuesday. Tuesday, Tuesday! Oh, it's gonna be hotter then. Today would have been a much better day to deliver it.

SPEAKER_05 4:51

Yeah, but we at least we got the tabletop inside.

SPEAKER_02 4:53

That's heavy. The other the other part's the easy one. Holy shit, that top's heavy.

SPEAKER_05 4:59

Yep. I'd I'll bet it's all of 130, 40 pounds.

SPEAKER_02 5:05

I was gonna guess 150. Yeah. Because you don't want to move that by yourself.

SPEAKER_05 5:10

It's all I can do to lift it myself, with you know, yeah, being just a little slippery.

SPEAKER_02 5:16

Stood up the the long way.

SPEAKER_05 5:18

Yep.

SPEAKER_04 5:19

Yeah, it's heavy. What else you did what else have you been doing? Like, we've been like all on our own missions for like the last uh week and a half.

SPEAKER_05 5:27

For the most part, it's been kind of a deal where I sand and spray and let it sit for three hours, and sand and spray and let it first sit for three hours, and uh a lot of mowings have happened and 3D prints. I've got the 3D printer rocking pretty good right now.

SPEAKER_02 5:42

Hell yeah. I mean, and that's something you were doing, but Ethan played a pretty big game the other night. Yeah. The uh boys, the boys' baseball team, they had a freaking hell of a game.

SPEAKER_05 5:54

It was kind of a perfect storm. At uh so there they played at the field of dreams.

SPEAKER_02 5:59

At the field of dreams for you, West Virginia boys that were just there got to experience it. Ethan got to play out on the field.

SPEAKER_05 6:05

In the on the major league park that we didn't get to see. Um played the number one team in the state for 3A. I think it was a perfect storm where uh they thought they were gonna walk by us because we kind of suck. So they uh didn't have their aces available. Um we put up four they didn't have their best pitchers on the mound. Yep. We put up four runs in the second inning and then added a fifth one later on, like sixth inning or something. Um Ethan was the closer. He got in for one and two-thirds innings and got him out of a pickle in the sixth, and then held him scoreless in the seventh.

SPEAKER_02 6:45

Because the first kid had pitched a shutout for the first five innings, right? Yeah. Or no, first four. First four is inning. So he pitched a pretty good game for five innings.

SPEAKER_05 7:00

Yep.

SPEAKER_02 7:01

And then Ethan came in, closed out the last one and two-thirds.

SPEAKER_05 7:07

The other kid pitched the first bit of the sixth inning and got into a pickle again.

SPEAKER_02 7:11

Oh, he did pitch a little bit in the okay. I thought Ethan came in in the fifth inning after he gave up those three.

SPEAKER_05 7:17

No, so he uh Ethan came in.

SPEAKER_02 7:19

And then Ethan gave up no runs, then, right?

SPEAKER_05 7:22

Correct. Yep, so we won five to three, and that was probably kind of sort of our mythical state championship.

SPEAKER_02 7:29

And did Lance Lance Feldman caught that last hit?

SPEAKER_05 7:32

Yeah, no, no, he he or he just fielded it, he tagged the touch.

SPEAKER_02 7:38

Um because I I saw uh uh a little video clip of it, and you can't quite see the ball. Ethan, it went right over Ethan's right shoulder. He went up to grab it, and it was just out of his reach, and then the next thing you saw the second baseman running over, stepped on the bag, game was over. But it said it sounded like they said that was that was a nice, some nice glove work by Lance Felt.

SPEAKER_05 8:03

The whole team really played well, they didn't have any real errors, I don't think maybe one. Um and the ball got up in the air, and everybody did their job for the most part. So that's that was a nice change for our team, and then some of their players had some uncharacteristic errors that they wouldn't normally make. And playing from behind does that to people, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 8:26

Yeah, when you're trying to get especially when you guys had that big fourth inning. Yep. So that was exciting. I was I was really excited. Uh I can't remember if it came through. Oh, yeah, because you guys, I think you sent it into our chat that they'd won that night. And I'd I'd already fallen asleep by that point and saw it at three in the morning.

SPEAKER_05 8:45

But say the the teammates all rushed the field and oh yeah, that big dog pile out by the Ethan is just kind of hopping around, and then Mather pulled him down to the ground and everybody dog piled.

SPEAKER_04 8:59

Yeah, he's a little guy for that too.

SPEAKER_05 9:01

It looked like Mather was kind of covering him up.

SPEAKER_02 9:06

So yeah, that was pretty exciting. Court, you've been making check marks.

SPEAKER_04 9:12

Making check marks. I know last Saturday uh Big O came down and we got ninety-nine point nine percent of the stairwell done. Um we're short three of the square balusters for the downstairs section.

SPEAKER_02 9:31

Did you move them? Did you replace the ones on the upper one? The one by the kitchen table?

SPEAKER_04 9:37

Just the covers. I did not do anything with those yet. Okay. But then like we're actually short the the whole upright.

SPEAKER_02 9:46

Oh, yeah. The other one was just the bottom was it missing or were they the wrong shape?

SPEAKER_04 9:50

We were missing them, but I've got all of them now. Oh but I'm still short three.

SPEAKER_05 9:54

Are you gonna mount one upside down?

SPEAKER_04 9:56

No. Come on.

SPEAKER_05 9:58

That that that's like true fashion.

SPEAKER_04 10:00

I don't care. I ain't doing leave it as an Easter egg for people. Like if they can find anything as an Easter egg, I'm not gonna put the last two little covers on those two on the end.

SPEAKER_05 10:10

I was there to help with that cabinet and didn't even think to look at the stairs.

SPEAKER_04 10:13

Oh, yeah. So, yeah, then uh I've been just checking off little projects. Like, I'm just trying to get one win a day.

SPEAKER_02 10:21

Hey, that's how you eat an elephant, man. One bite at a time. So you know, you're you're trying to get a you're trying to eat an elephant. I am and but putting it back in the grooves. But you got till the end of July, and how do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. If you look at it as the whole elephant, that's where you just go fuck it, and you go lay on the couch and watch YouTube.

SPEAKER_04 10:43

So I guess have we recorded since I stained all the rest of the so I stained the rest of all of the we haven't recorded since the golf outing. Okay, so I stained all the rest of the casing. I did that before the golf outing, so I didn't have to have my beard shaved, which Kelly said no anyway. So that wasn't gonna happen. But I got that all stained, polied, uh, finished up the new post that same time. Chad came over because I was he had a couple pieces left over from the first go-round. Oh, those taken care of, stained and polied. And then Derek came over. The orgasm. Yep, Saturday, and we hammered that out. So Kelly's been worried the whole time because I built those other two noodle posts really tall. Because I didn't know exactly where they were gonna land, you know, how tall they needed to be. Even just made them extra tall so you could cut them down. Yeah, we cut 10 inches off each one of them. So now they're the perfect, like they look correct.

SPEAKER_02 11:40

She was looking at them going, Did you make a stripper pole?

SPEAKER_04 11:43

I mean they're taller than she is. Like when she'd stand next to it, it was as tall as she was. So we cut cut those down, and it looks really nice. Got the handrail down on the other side, so that's all done.

SPEAKER_02 11:53

Um, I pulled Big O really can do anything, can he?

SPEAKER_04 11:57

Yeah. We we fought it a little bit, but we got it. We won. And then pulled it.

SPEAKER_02 12:04

When I stopped, I stopped out for what, 20 minutes that day. Yeah. Just because I hadn't seen Derek for I don't know how long. Yeah, I hadn't seen him. Well, I seen him at graduation. Graduation party. So I couldn't remember uh I don't remember what else I was in the middle of that day. I think I was working on that Malibu.

SPEAKER_04 12:20

Yeah, you're working on the Malibu.

SPEAKER_02 12:22

I just popped out for 20 minutes quick or something, and he was doing some hard math, man. Yeah. That layout for those balusters, and finally at the end he goes, it's gotta be close enough, and he just started drilling the holes.

SPEAKER_04 12:35

It all worked out, it turned out great. It looks nice, and they're all plum and looks really nice. And I pulled the two cabinets out of the kitchen, um, pulled those down, finished all the shiplap on the range hood. Kelly's got one coat of black paint on the whole thing now. So that's there. And then on lunch the other day, I was trying to, I was like, I'm gonna cut this cabinet down to lunch. So I'm like, start looking at it, and I'm like, I sent Chad a message. What do you think about this idea? And he's like, probably would work. He's like, Want me to run down? I'm like, Yeah, I'm I'm gonna work on it like right now. So I'm on my lunch break. I'm gonna work on it right now. So he came down if you can come right now, you'll keep me from fucking it up. So he came down, cut it down, all worked out as planned, went back together, back up on the wall, and then I finished out my work day, and then after work I drilled all the holes, cut all the shelves, put all of the um front edge banding on. I used that wax, that wax I used for on the top of the saw. Yep, worked perfect. Like it matches the pre-stained or pre-pollied plywood exactly. Looks really nice. So those are all in. I still gotta cut the other cabinet down, but I want to do the face frames and do some calculating before I screw that one up. Like make sure we get the spacing all correct on that. But that's what else I do. That's about what I've got done recently. This week I'm gonna start working on trimming out the windows. Like, I'm gonna try to get all the windows trimmed out and then worry about the the I-beams later. I'm gonna try to get the sides and the bottoms all in, get those taken care of this week, and then with holiday this week, and I'm not sure how well I don't know what Kelly's got planned, but I'm gonna start working on getting all the I-beams built. I'll need a hand one night just cutting. I think we ran that one board through the joiner and the planer. I think it's the right size, it just needs cut into the half-inch strips. Yeah. So one night I gotta set my saw up and cut those all down, and then I can start banging out the I-beams, get those already to stain in poly. So I'm hoping that all the windows done this week. At least the sides and the bottom done. Other than that, I've been helping Caleb with a few things here and there, like working on his lawnmower and plugging away. I've been not down, not talking to it enough. They don't like it. You're fading in and out. Yeah, that's how it rolls. They don't like it. Uh voice and mentally. Right. Fading in and out. Right. And then trying to- Yeah, that's pretty much printing I've done lately.

SPEAKER_02 15:33

How big did the blisters grow today?

SPEAKER_04 15:36

I have not looked since we looked at lunch. Lunch. Dinner. Dinner. Was it dinner time? Yeah, it was after supper. That was sunburn. No. So the on the bottom of my bottom of my the balls of my feet. I have what quarter size, probably?

SPEAKER_05 15:52

Probably quarter size. Blisters like right on the ball of my from wearing improper footwear or from feet?

SPEAKER_04 15:57

From day one, not having my shoes tied tight enough. So my feet were kind of sliding around as we're walking up and down the roof. They're kind of sliding around. I don't like tight shoes. So they're my feet were sliding around, and I noticed yesterday they were getting hot. And I'm like, oh, maybe they're just hot. When I got home last time, I'm like, nope, those are blisters. And then spent all day today in tight shoes, but still with your wool socks. With my wool socks, but still walking around on blisters. You know how that goes. So every time I every time I was sitting down and had to say them, I'm like, oh fuck, that hurts. But yeah, so I'll be I'll be hurting for you know a couple days probably until those heal up. Don't cut them open unless you have to. I kind of think one of them might have popped earlier today when I got up once to get some more of those. You might have. Because it got really wet in my shoe, but I haven't looked yet because I'm too nervous to look. I'm like, oh, we'll deal with that later. Have Doc look at them. Yeah, that's a that's a after get out of the shower. Whip the dogs out. Like, hey, what's this look like?

SPEAKER_05 16:55

She'll be like, what did you do?

SPEAKER_04 16:59

I was just working so hard, honey. I'm not used to working. I sit at a desk for a living. I'm not used to man. I'm fat and I'm old, out of shape, and like you worked me like a dog this weekend.

SPEAKER_02 17:13

That was a good amount of work.

SPEAKER_04 17:15

We got a lot done this weekend.

SPEAKER_02 17:18

For sure. So yeah, and I can't I can't thank you guys enough because you know, like I told that that that trip's paying the the money from that's paying for the mission trip.

SPEAKER_04 17:30

So we uh I said if I don't have to go on a mission trip, I'll help you work on Baro. Same. So yeah, it was uh it went pretty good. I mean we we hammered out today. Was a motherfucker. The the weather today screwed us. One, we're all tired and sore. You weren't. You for some reason have just been like, Yeah, I don't know. Look, energizer bunny. The rest of us were all hard.

SPEAKER_02 17:56

By nine o'clock, like the aches and pains from the day before had kind of worn off and got moving around enough, and I was fine all day. Switching the socks up today, because yesterday I wore kind of more of an athletic type, you know, sock. Not for work. I put on the work socks today.

SPEAKER_04 18:14

It's crazy. Remote good shoes and socks will do for your day. Like if you had to work for a living, like blue collar outside working, this kind of stuff, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 18:26

So today I had the the the Fox River socks. They're made up in Osage. So and they're the wool ones. Uh, you know, I'm actually not sure what they're made out of. They're they're not like twenty dollars. I think you can get two of them for 25. Yeah, the right sock.

SPEAKER_04 18:43

Yesterday I just wore just the Haynes Loka.

SPEAKER_01 18:45

I usually want two socks. Uh huh. Usually you want two socks. Two pairs of socks. Two pairs, sorry.

SPEAKER_04 18:51

I should I should be more clear. I wore shorts yesterday. That was not a smart idea.

SPEAKER_01 18:56

I wore shorts both days.

SPEAKER_04 18:58

I spent too much time like sitting on the on that pitcher roof.

SPEAKER_02 19:02

I gotta spend too much. I I got I spent too much time on my hip shingling.

SPEAKER_04 19:07

I got too much weight hanging over the belt when it'll bend over all day. That's a lot of stress on my lower back. Um I gave it and put on the knee pads today, but jeans helped today tremendously. I'd been too hot.

SPEAKER_02 19:22

I was shivering and cold for a good portion of the day. You got T1 pants. I wore T1s, they're in the laundry. I I did laundry every single night to make sure that I had those T1s ready to go.

SPEAKER_04 19:34

I need I still need to get a pair of look, because you had a pair I could try on of the T works ones.

SPEAKER_01 19:42

Yeah, I've got some don't get anything but T1s.

SPEAKER_02 19:45

I just want to try them on before I order them. Just to get the waist size size-wise. So you can pull on a 36 and go, yeah, that ain't happening. But you know, like if you can get them zipped up and buttoned, and like, okay, if I go 38, it'll be fine.

SPEAKER_04 19:59

Because buckle jeans are what I normally wear, and I always wear 36 in buckles, but they stretch a lot. So I would go, I'd go probably go 38.

SPEAKER_02 20:07

That's uh because I was in a I was in a 34 buckle jean and I needed 36s at the time. So I just want to try yours.

SPEAKER_01 20:15

I normally wear a 32 and I wear 34 T works. You went up one.

SPEAKER_04 20:19

Yeah, but so yeah, I'm gonna I need to get something for working because jeans are hot to work in jeans all day.

SPEAKER_02 20:26

Those T one. I'm I'm surprised how durable those things have been because I've worn them for two or three years roofing on my house, plus Rick and you know, my mother and father-in-law's, and they're still they look the same, and that's kneeling on the shingles and they hold up to welding.

SPEAKER_01 20:42

I welded in mine.

SPEAKER_02 20:43

I'm sure several times do they get holes burned in them? That's what I was wondering with the material.

SPEAKER_01 20:48

If it's a big if it's a big spark, it'll do like a small, but it'll do that on denim, too.

SPEAKER_02 20:54

Yeah, right. So um, yes, I started it. You know, we roofed that. It took 35 minutes to drive that man lift from my house to my mother and father-in-law's. That's not that far either. It's not that far, no. And uh, when I was telling Rick I was coming over, he's like, Well, how long do you think it'll take to get here? I'm like, Well, how long would it take you to walk from your house to my house? Because that's about how long it's gonna take to drive this thing, right? And that was cutting through the fairgrounds. I was just gonna ask, did you cut through the fairgrounds?

SPEAKER_04 21:35

I did cut through the fairgrounds. Your in-laws have a tremendous amount of cop presence in their neighborhood. Holy balls!

SPEAKER_02 21:44

That dude drove by about seven or eight times just this afternoon. Because the way we were shingling and where the way we were sitting at the end of the day, we could see the road the whole time. All bet in the last three hours we were there, the cops went by at least every 30. To 45 minutes. Yeah. Yeah. They went by that more than they go by my house. And I'll live on Main Street. I'd be curious to see if they do it on a normal basis.

SPEAKER_05 22:09

Yeah, it'd be interesting to on the road they live on or huh? On the road they live on. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 22:14

On Fairfield.

SPEAKER_05 22:15

They've got there's two or three officers that live on that road.

SPEAKER_02 22:19

I know Egamo, I know Egamo does, the deputy. Right. I mean, there's who else. There's another deputy that lives on down, isn't there?

SPEAKER_04 22:28

It seemed like there was a lot of traffic for the neighborhood. A lot of cop presents for the neighborhood. Because it's a really nice neighborhood. And there's two shitty trucks sitting in the neighborhood. That's probably why. They're sitting there because the rat rods are sitting there. Last time we shingled and drove a rat rod, they tried to put me in jail.

SPEAKER_01 22:46

We should stop shingling. It's the combination. Well, I mean you didn't have to do the Olympics. You did them.

SPEAKER_04 22:53

I did this time. I would have been fucked this time. I'm like, dude, I got blisters the size of your fucking wiener on my foot. Fuck off.

SPEAKER_02 23:00

I'm not doing your agility test. Yeah, take me to fucking jail. Either let me go or take me to jail.

SPEAKER_04 23:06

One of the two. Pick one. I'm not fucking doing it.

SPEAKER_02 23:10

So I got blisters the size of your character. Same.

SPEAKER_04 23:19

But yeah, that'd be funny if they listen to this and they could come over and compare. I doubt any of the pilot.

SPEAKER_02 23:28

That fucking wind today was blowing so hard. You know, the shingles come in pairs. It was taking pairs of them off the fucking roof. Pairs? It was taking several at a time. Yeah, it was but I mean, like, even the ones that were stuck together. It wasn't like it was taking a single shingle at a time. It was taking two of them stuck.

SPEAKER_05 23:47

I'm sure there is definitely no throwing it up the roof.

SPEAKER_02 23:50

No. Well, you could have, but it would have just kept on going. It would have been a boomerang. It would have come right back at you. I got bitch slapped by the roof today.

SPEAKER_04 23:59

Yeah. Shingles slaps him right in the face.

SPEAKER_02 24:03

Yeah. Well, how did that happen?

SPEAKER_04 24:05

You were nailing one side and you let go of the side that you hadn't nailed yet, and it slapped you up and down. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 24:10

I'd nailed like the the left side, and the wind came and took the other one, smacked me upside the head with it. It was windy today. Bradbug got me a couple times with him. Um I I've never shingled in wind like that before. That was the first one.

SPEAKER_04 24:28

We shingled in the rain for what 30-40 minutes. Yeah. Probably.

SPEAKER_02 24:31

We were soaked.

SPEAKER_01 24:32

Well, you and I did two courses across the top.

SPEAKER_04 24:34

Across the top in the rain. Yeah, it was.

SPEAKER_02 24:36

And then those shingles, of course, did not stick down, and then we got the gale force wind, and when we went back up, they were in the backyard. Just a couple of them. Just two of them. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 24:50

There was two of them that got blown off. Some of them, one of them got ripped completely off, and then we had to rename it.

SPEAKER_02 24:55

Or was there one that was two one that was just cracked so bad we just said no?

SPEAKER_01 25:00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 25:01

And then there was one that was a couple that got stacked that got folded that I decided were still good. Because the were those ones, the cap was going to cover most of that anyway. Yeah. So that shingle, someone's going to have a lot of fun putting that one, uh, pulling that one out in about 20 or 30 years. Not my problem. Um that one has one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, I might drive by and laugh at them. That that that shingle has 15 nails holding it in. Because I put because we put we put five nails in each one, and I put two on either side of all the ones that were there. After this week, excuse me. None of them should. And then so we were sitting there last night when we got done. We had the east part of the garage to do and that little valley into the house. And we're looking at that and like, shit, we do not have enough shingles. So this morning we got who has these shingles home depot in Cedar Rapids. Had some. So I sent Rick on a mission to grab three more square because I didn't want to run out. He comes back, starts backing into the driveway. I looked at the guys and go, those are the wrong shingles. Yeah, from the roof. We're like, and it goes right. How do you know? I'm like, the wrappers don't look the same. Went down there. They sent they they got two square right. They sent two square weathered wood weatherwood and one uh square of pewter. Pewter doesn't match. And when we got all done, it turned out that I had ordered the almost exact amount of shingles.

SPEAKER_04 26:57

You would have had eight shingles left if you wouldn't have. That's what I was that what it ended up being. Eight shingles left. If you wouldn't have gone and got any. You would have had eight shingles left.

SPEAKER_02 27:07

If we wouldn't have sent him for them, we would have been screwed. We'd have been fucked.

SPEAKER_04 27:10

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 27:11

We would have been short for fucking sure.

SPEAKER_04 27:14

And your caps, we had one left. There was one one cap left. There was two. No, because he cut it towards the end.

SPEAKER_01 27:23

That's right.

SPEAKER_04 27:25

There was one cap left.

SPEAKER_01 27:26

Because he mismeasured the center. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 27:31

Yeah. So you had you had it right down to the right down to the wire.

SPEAKER_01 27:36

Well, you know, that's what the uh client wanted because you know he was wasting nails. I didn't want any extra. Throw nails in the dump truck. How many nails did you have left over?

SPEAKER_04 27:46

Oh fucking boatload of fucking nails. Oh, and your handbangers, you had what what maybe a handful of those left? 12. 12 left of those. Yeah, those calculated right down to the right down to the nail, too. I brought those from home.

SPEAKER_02 28:00

I did I totally I totally forgot to have Rick order some of those. Those were mine.

SPEAKER_01 28:04

Send him a bill for those.

SPEAKER_02 28:05

Yeah. Oh, that's gonna be an expensive box. That was probably what a $50 box of nails.

SPEAKER_04 28:10

I thought that was an $80 box of nails, probably. Huh? $80 probably. $80. All right. I'll tell Rick. Plus expedite and fees having to haul them.

SPEAKER_01 28:18

Special order.

SPEAKER_04 28:20

Yeah. So we were done before dark last night. Done before dark tonight. I mean, it was guetteen dark. Both did. But it was not dark. Not dark.

SPEAKER_01 28:31

Right.

SPEAKER_04 28:33

Billy and I got all the paper on yesterday. Thank God we had paper done yesterday. Thank God you'd have to have to do that.

SPEAKER_02 28:38

Paper would have sucked today. Paper would have been you you'd have had you'd have only been able to roll out a foot at a time. I probably would have got pissed off and quit. You and Billy probably would have had to shingle, and Chris and I would have had to roll the focus. I wouldn't have uh I'd fly away with that thing. I'm little.

SPEAKER_04 28:57

Yeah, it was yeah. When Brad said the lightning's close, we need to get off the roof, and it's like right there. It's like, yeah, we probably should get off the roof.

SPEAKER_02 29:07

I never probably was I talking to Julie when I was joking about that. I'm like, yeah, Brad said that last strike of lightning singed the hairs on his ass. It's time to get down. He's like, I don't think I said it was that close, but it was definitely Brad made it more than more than clear that he was done being on the roof. It was time to get down.

SPEAKER_04 29:28

Then we had to sit in the garage and with our shirts off so we could get them dried.

SPEAKER_01 29:32

They've seen that. There wasn't that helped. There was no beer.

SPEAKER_02 29:36

Linda dried our shirts, and then Court was like, Man, now would be a perfect time to have a cooler full of beers. You said that.

SPEAKER_04 29:47

You said it'd be a perfect time to have a cooler full of beer.

SPEAKER_01 29:49

Court was on the phone with Kelly, and so Kelly brought you beer. Kelly heard that, and Kelly delivered. She didn't bring me anything to drink, but she brought you guys beer.

SPEAKER_05 29:57

Reminds me of that. I think I sent you guys a TikTok this week where it's like there's always you gotta have that one friend that's the voice of reason, and then the uh the other friend that's like, yeah, fuck yeah, let's do that. Right.

SPEAKER_04 30:10

Yeah. And she probably doesn't know you're not you're off the beer, though. She doesn't listen to the podcast. Otherwise, she probably would have bought you a bottle of crap and some outdoor.

SPEAKER_01 30:19

I'm pretty sure it's in her notes.

SPEAKER_04 30:20

Is that her notes?

SPEAKER_01 30:23

But she can't share that with us. Just doesn't want to take care of her patients. That's right. Makes them walk across the hospital with a bad foot. Brad almost had a nail in his foot today. She just laughed at him.

SPEAKER_02 30:37

She's like, I mean, to be fair, she also kind of laughed when Court nailed my nutsack to my leg, too.

SPEAKER_01 30:47

Well, she had to laugh because I should just be mad that her house was delayed.

SPEAKER_04 30:51

You were delaying the slow the house down that much.

SPEAKER_01 30:56

Till now.

SPEAKER_04 30:57

No, that's just been my lack of give a fuck lately.

SPEAKER_01 31:00

Who was it that turned to Rick and said, Well, at least he got your roof done in a year. We're finished it up.

SPEAKER_02 31:06

And I'm like, hey, at least you're done in one year. We were in for supper. Yeah, we're in for supper. And said somebody, yeah, we ought to have her done today.

SPEAKER_03 31:14

And Court turns around and pops off with something like, Yeah, at least you didn't have to wait two summers to get your roof done. Got it all done this year. Got it all done in one year.

SPEAKER_04 31:25

That's pretty impressive. I mean, that's the first project that we fucking stop started and just finished it before doing something else. Like, oh, let's do something else now.

SPEAKER_05 31:38

At least you didn't have to do it like this next week.

SPEAKER_04 31:40

Right. That's what we're trying to get done today. Cause it's like next week's gonna start. I'm really glad I started on Thursday.

SPEAKER_02 31:47

Yeah, because I started Thursday and I got the whole back tore off by mistake.

SPEAKER_04 31:51

We wouldn't have got it done if you wouldn't start on Thursday.

SPEAKER_02 31:55

And then Chapman had a had a couple of his tenants show up. Yeah, Chapman hired people to do his work.

SPEAKER_04 32:02

That's what we should have done.

SPEAKER_01 32:04

We totally should have.

SPEAKER_04 32:06

Can you hand these shingles to this guy for 50 bucks? All they did was tear off. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 32:12

Next time when Gear says, Hey, look, I want to work on my roof this week. I'm gonna go down to uh uh that that lane right north of the by Casey's there and be like good luck getting the buckers to work. Hey, you want to make a hundred bucks? Show up this address tomorrow morning.

SPEAKER_04 32:28

Where are your work gloves? Where are your work gloves?

SPEAKER_01 32:30

You're like, what's that? Work what there might be one of them that would go work.

SPEAKER_04 32:35

Maybe. Maybe not.

SPEAKER_01 32:38

Just do like I tell Rich how to hire people for the plate shop. Hire three, hopefully, one will show up.

SPEAKER_04 32:45

Very much. Till the work's done.

SPEAKER_01 32:51

Then I'm gonna sit at the bottom like RG and I say lawn chair.

SPEAKER_04 32:54

Fuck yeah, bud. Cracking beers. Those guys are doing a great job up there.

SPEAKER_02 33:02

You still gotta run the saw, though. Do I? I'm not hollering out in numbers of some motherfucker that can't even doesn't know which end of the fucking tape to hold on to.

SPEAKER_04 33:12

It's three inches and two millimeters. Right.

SPEAKER_01 33:18

Chad, we since we recorded last Chad helped me with a project.

SPEAKER_04 33:23

Yes, he did.

SPEAKER_01 33:24

You guys missed seeing the calculated eyeball at its prime.

SPEAKER_05 33:30

I wasn't sure if we were gonna get that in there for a while.

SPEAKER_01 33:33

Yeah, I was wondering. At one point, Chad goes, I'm kind of out of my wheelhouse here. I'm like, we got her. I didn't think we got her, but I said we got her. And we got her.

SPEAKER_02 33:44

There's a beautiful, beautiful sliding glass door. Oh, yeah. I had to play grandpa that day. Yeah. I got a baby sliding glass. I stopped out and you guys were gone. I was gonna teach you boy how to freaking work.

SPEAKER_01 33:58

We were making the world's largest shim.

SPEAKER_04 34:04

That was a big shim.

SPEAKER_01 34:05

It went from quarter to inch and a half? Two inch?

SPEAKER_05 34:08

Um we made three. The longest one was from quarter to like basically what three quarter?

SPEAKER_01 34:15

Three quarters. No. How long was it?

SPEAKER_05 34:17

Quarter to one of the five foot?

SPEAKER_01 34:19

Nine foot? Nine foot. The whole the the top of the door? No, the whole door sits on a wedge. The floor's that off.

SPEAKER_02 34:29

You got a two by six that wide?

SPEAKER_05 34:31

No, it was it was a one by.

SPEAKER_02 34:33

One by this a threshold like six inches on that?

SPEAKER_05 34:39

No, it was uh a one by that we one end was just more than a sliver. And one basically tapered all the way out to three-quarter.

SPEAKER_01 34:49

And this mofo did it with a joiner. Eyeballing it. And it was perfect.

SPEAKER_04 34:55

With a joiner?

SPEAKER_01 34:56

With the joiner. I I stood there and held the guard open. Chad and I were Chad and I were like in tune.

SPEAKER_05 35:04

I'd go a foot and then I'd pull it back. Then I'd go two foot and then I pull it back. Then I'd go three foot and I'd go back.

SPEAKER_01 35:10

It works. We ended up driving to uh oh yeah, we were working on a holiday. Court was working on a holiday too. Juneteenth. Yeah. Oh yes. Yeah, Alliant doesn't like black people. They don't love them, so they made them work.

SPEAKER_06 35:29

You said that. I didn't say that.

SPEAKER_01 35:33

They don't apparently they made you work on Juneteenth.

SPEAKER_03 35:45

They've already done February.

SPEAKER_01 35:48

Right. Cancel. When's Caucasian uh what uh blue collar worker month? There ain't one. No, we just support everybody.

SPEAKER_04 35:59

That's our role. Oh shit. Ask me how I really funny shit. So we stopped by. I got only two people from my work who probably hear this.

SPEAKER_05 36:10

So by measuring the window, the window is what, two and a half inches shorter than the opening?

SPEAKER_01 36:17

No. Because remember, we had we had cut the top nail, we thought it was gonna be.

SPEAKER_05 36:22

Well, if you measure the window and measure the opening, it was like two or two and a half inches.

SPEAKER_01 36:26

Then we end up cutting the nailing strip off the top to make it fit.

SPEAKER_05 36:30

So I could say we we put a an uh a one by on each end and one on top, because that should and by measurements, that should have done the trick. And like, what the fuck? There's no and it's it's a mile from going.

SPEAKER_01 36:41

It don't fit.

SPEAKER_04 36:43

So we pulled were you shitting a brick at that point? No, no, not yet. So we're chills there.

SPEAKER_05 36:48

We pulled all those nailers off and it was tight top and bottom, opposite corners. And there is like an inch and a half gap on the other corner. Like, holy fuck.

SPEAKER_01 36:58

But if I I think at this point with it all trimmed out, I got a little bit. There is one piece I want to put in there yet, just to kind of trim it out a little bit more, maybe do a little painting to camouflage it. Yeah. But uh from the inside you can't tell it. Yeah, that's it turned out awesome. That gets to be nerve-wracking. And now it's it's got a doggy door in the screen door. That's kind of nice.

SPEAKER_02 37:20

So I didn't hear to the screen door. And now we can't drink our dirty hand water.

SPEAKER_01 37:26

No. And he finished that today. I gotta put a little piece of PBC from the drain just so it gets further enough into the because yeah, Remy was drinking the the drain water from the the shop. Which what the hell? I know there's beer in it and probably some whiskey or whatever we dumped out, but I dump all my shit down your drain. Their hand soap and everything else in there, and he was drinking it, and then he'd come inside and puke. Like, you dumbass dog. Smartest dumb dog I had I've ever had.

SPEAKER_05 37:54

I'd be interested to talk to someone that like does that stuff for a living. Say, how would you have done it versus how we did it? I don't care how they done it. We did it.

SPEAKER_01 38:05

And I damn near got some mark, I damn near got some Hathaway joints on that trim. On the trim.

SPEAKER_04 38:10

It'd be interesting to see if like as a Hathaway or Derek, like, what would you have done in the situation? Because I mean they deal with it way.

SPEAKER_01 38:17

I thought about calling Derek, but then I'm like, nope, I'm not using up my Derek calls because I got other ones to call him out. I got I got a garage expansion I want it want his help with. That's a year or two away though.

SPEAKER_04 38:31

Other than that, the scout's less put together than it was last time we talked. No. It's not. It's not. Did you cut all the wiring out from underneath the most of it's back in? Most of it's back in.

SPEAKER_01 38:44

I didn't cut it all out. I took I took it apart, reloomed it, and fixed it, and I did shorten some of it so there's not loops of extra. Yeah. Um, I guess it is a little bit more apart than the last time we were on because the last time we were on, we just had the the throttle body off.

SPEAKER_04 38:57

I did have I just remember one day we had a conversation, like El Moco's need to be done before we go to Indiana, and then the next breath was like I cut all the wiring out of the scout, and I'm like, that's counterproductive if you're gonna get that.

SPEAKER_01 39:09

I took a week off work, and by the time I did everything else that was on the list, El Moco got the rear truss welded on. That was it. That was that El Moco will hopefully see the trail in August.

SPEAKER_02 39:24

But part of that is 27. Shut the fuck up.

SPEAKER_01 39:30

If we wait for you to wire it, maybe. I don't think we're gonna be waiting for me.

SPEAKER_03 39:40

Dude, this ain't a dig at you. Don't take this personally. This ain't a shot at you. He's had all the parts for freaking a year.

SPEAKER_04 39:51

Not a year.

SPEAKER_01 39:52

If we if he's like April or May. If he hadn't said I have to get the house done by the end of July, that yeah, because my moco would have been done. My work on the how on the GPS. And then your work schedule, that too has ramped way up. Yeah, I mean Yeah, Thad, what the hell?

SPEAKER_04 40:09

Yeah, I'm gonna be traveling, not just a lot of day travel coming up.

SPEAKER_01 40:13

You know, if D night D nice was a uh a good coworker, she'd cover for you so you could get El Moco done.

SPEAKER_04 40:19

I still have to burn up my vacation days enough. We can either take vacation days and get El Moco done or take vacation days and go wheeling.

SPEAKER_01 40:26

Uh Ricky'll kick your ass if you don't.

SPEAKER_04 40:28

Take vacation days and get the house done. I'm gonna not do that if I don't have to. If I just get off work and work until it's bedtime, it'll get done.

SPEAKER_01 40:38

Spoken like a guy that gets vacation days and a summer off.

SPEAKER_04 40:43

Summers off would be very helpful.

SPEAKER_01 40:45

And yes, we could have been teaching. I would not be.

SPEAKER_04 40:47

If I had some I would sleep in till like noon, oh my god, get up, get drunk, sleep all afternoon. I would be a horrible teacher. Because I would party too hard if I had all summer. I'd be I don't know what I would do. I couldn't do it. I would I don't have the self-control to be productive. I know I don't. I would just be a lazy bum kicking it, staying up way too fucking well. That's what I would do.

SPEAKER_01 41:13

I don't know that either of us would make it to our first summer.

SPEAKER_04 41:15

I would get fired from being teachers real fast.

SPEAKER_01 41:18

Tell the kids you fucking dumbass. Oh I still tell them that.

SPEAKER_04 41:23

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 41:24

You might you probably have more tact, you're more practiced at it by now. Maybe slightly polished.

SPEAKER_04 41:30

Maybe slightly polished. I I know I would get fired from being a teacher in like maybe a couple of years.

SPEAKER_01 41:37

So do I have to arrange a rental Jeep for you for August too?

SPEAKER_04 41:41

Possibly. We'll see. We'll see if I get the house done by the end of July or if I have to go into August with continue working on the house. Maybe. I mean, he's waited three years. He can wait another one. I mean, technically, I have five years to get it done. That was the agreement when I started the process. So technically, I have time. But he wants to accelerate that a little bit. I mean, since he gave me the loan, he's probably like, okay, we need to appraise it at some point.

SPEAKER_02 42:11

I think even I think even even where it's at, and we've talked about this before, even where it's at right now, it's gonna appraise for way more than they gave you a loan for. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 42:22

He's probably listening to the podcast and be like, uh, is he building a Jeep instead of a house? Yes, yes, I am. No, you're not. You ain't got near cooling up.

SPEAKER_04 42:31

But I'm not using the money from the house to build the Jeep. The money from the house is all spent. That money's gone. I mean, that's all house.

SPEAKER_01 42:38

You won't spend house money on a Jeep, man. We are totally changing this build.

SPEAKER_04 42:42

Someone else is gonna build it. Right. Here, have this money. I want this, this, and this.

SPEAKER_05 42:50

Some weekend we need to give Jamal an altitude adjustment.

SPEAKER_04 42:53

An altitude adjustment. Yes, we do. So, okay. Back to uh our trip later this year. Or listen to this.

SPEAKER_01 43:02

That's not can't be talked on live.

SPEAKER_04 43:04

But I just want Patreon. We're all going, right? On the trip that we're gonna plan on in the street.

SPEAKER_01 43:09

We'll talk more on Patreon. Let's leave it at that.

SPEAKER_04 43:11

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 43:11

It's only five dollars a month. Cheaper than your daily advice. Five bucks. We gotta get we gotta get more plugs in for that. Because whoever's out there that's getting pissy about it, I just want to make it more pissy about it. Who's getting pissy about it? We don't know. We don't know. Fuck them.

SPEAKER_00 43:27

That's what I'm saying. This is like old school fucking HCG podcast tonight.

SPEAKER_02 43:33

This is like I think I think by this point of the week, we every single one of us is all out of givea fucks. Right. Like, like if you if you if if we were all walking around with bags of givea fucks, uh like we were at the parade, like throwing out give a fucks. Yeah, like we ran out of givea fucks a long time ago.

SPEAKER_02 44:37

SPEAKER_01 44:39

I am officially done with anything international or national or international snowbilling. I told them all I'm said I'm done.

SPEAKER_02 44:48

And I mean that honestly, legitimately.

SPEAKER_01 44:51

I'm glad that you're statewide might be on a shopping block by the end of the year.

SPEAKER_05 44:55

And you've told him you're done with it? Or not yet?

SPEAKER_01 44:59

I told one of my closest friends that hey, I know you're hosting International Stonebill Congress next year, and I'm not coming. If I'm coming to Utah, I'm I'm gonna come out there to hang out with you and have fun, not deal with the bullshit of organized stone billing. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 45:15

Are you gonna do it kind of like the movie Waiting?

SPEAKER_01 45:18

Never say Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, you're cool, fuck you, fuck you. I wish I would have done that. I wish I would have done that a couple weeks ago, but no. I'm just gonna be. That was the movie Waiting.

SPEAKER_02 45:30

I'm pretty sure. I can't remember. I can I can't remember the quote, but I didn't remember what I'm saying. I can never remember what movie was.

SPEAKER_03 45:35

But yeah, the guy's like, fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, you're cool, fuck you, fuck you.

SPEAKER_01 45:42

And then he hits him with the batwing. To put it simply, after I've done this for too long, too long, let's just go with too long. And people that showed up four years ago, and they're hanging out, they're listening to everything that person wants to say, but the people that have been around and been busting their asses trying to make things better for 20 years, fine. Peace out.

SPEAKER_05 46:14

Yep.

SPEAKER_01 46:17

Like, I don't even know if I'm keeping a sled. I'm just that over it. I just kind of want to get the scout back together.

SPEAKER_05 46:34

I have the one I have.

SPEAKER_01 46:37

But maybe I'll go, maybe I won't. I don't I don't even know if I need that. Because I'm just like done. I want to move on to the other things in life. Yep.

SPEAKER_04 46:49

Underwater basket vene.

SPEAKER_01 46:51

Uh working for myself.

SPEAKER_02 46:54

Uh oh. When I was home, there was a nice big Amazon package. Oh, yeah. Your extended mag. Sweet. Everything came. I opened it up. It's just the blanket. They fucked me again on the fucking extended mag stapler.

SPEAKER_04 47:12

Well, cancel it. Are you gonna?

SPEAKER_02 47:15

Now it says now it's got the thing on there. Cancel this, I cancel this delivery. Yeah. I mean, so I think I might just, but I'm like, it would be super handy on the next roof.

SPEAKER_04 47:25

Towards the end of the day yesterday, about you to wait a whole year to use it? Second or third time you try to put a staple and it wouldn't, it wouldn't put a staple in.

SPEAKER_02 47:33

Yeah. I mean, it was a $35 stapler and it's banged a lot of squares of uh like you can only expect a $35 stapler to bang so many staples. Right.

SPEAKER_01 47:44

Why they all cost about $10 for them to make?

SPEAKER_02 47:49

Maybe, but I know like the stapler that I spent $300 on 10 years ago still works like a charm, and the one that I spent $35 on two years ago doesn't.

SPEAKER_01 48:01

Yeah. Look at that longer, two years, haven't you?

SPEAKER_04 48:04

And the that was brand new when we started your roof, wasn't it? No. No, I thought you got that one right around then.

SPEAKER_02 48:13

Maybe I did. Either way, either way. At the most, it's only banged on 50 square of felt. Yeah. And I could not tell you how many frickin' life what I thought at the time was a lifetime supply of staples have been run through that freaking Hitachi.

SPEAKER_01 48:34

I I'm Hitachi's a they don't shoot the same staples, do they?

SPEAKER_02 48:40

No, what I mean, staplers stay. I mean, the air tools all operate on the same theory. You got a drum, you got a pit or a piston and a cylinder and your seals, and you know what I mean? It's like the same theory of an air, of the it's the same motion, it's got a hammer.

SPEAKER_01 48:56

I wouldn't expect to pay $30 for a stapler to hold plywood down than I would to hold felt down.

SPEAKER_02 49:07

I would expect to pay more for the should still last.

SPEAKER_01 49:10

So you're gonna buy a Hitachi felt stapler? If they made one, I would.

SPEAKER_02 49:14

Well, they don't make it.

SPEAKER_01 49:15

It's probably Matabo, huh?

SPEAKER_02 49:18

Matabo doesn't even make one.

SPEAKER_01 49:20

Oh.

SPEAKER_02 49:21

Bostitch.

SPEAKER_01 49:22

You get all creep, you got yeah, see, you get all creeped out when you like I can I can I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 49:27

I don't know what the deal is. I can use the bostach for my trim nailers.

SPEAKER_01 49:30

I don't like them for anything like Logan's Bostitch roofing nailer. If I was to go buy one, it worked like a charm today. I would use it. I would buy one.

SPEAKER_04 49:40

It works like a perfect zero desire to order or to purchase a roofing nail.

SPEAKER_01 49:47

Oh, I'm with you. I'm not saying I'm doing it.

SPEAKER_04 49:49

I'm saying if I've got a framing nailer I'd sell to somebody if they want it.

SPEAKER_02 49:54

The biggest thing that I don't like about the Bostitch nailers is they are so fucking loud compared to the Hitachi. Never noticed it.

SPEAKER_05 50:03

The one my dad has is a boss stitch, and I'd I can't say it's tremendously louder, but if you use it all day long, there's a difference.

SPEAKER_02 50:12

That's the first thing I've always noticed about the boss stitches when I use them is that they're fucking loud compared to my Hitachi.

SPEAKER_01 50:20

I'm wondering about the new the Walt hammer. Or not the I'm sorry, not the waltz. Milwaukee. It's been a long weekend. I was out in the sun a lot. Milwaukee. I don't get you can't call it an air hammer.

SPEAKER_04 50:34

It's a new pneumatic non-pneumatic hammer? Looks like it's too much money for my pocketbook right now.

SPEAKER_01 50:43

I haven't even seen a price on it. I was at five or six hundred bucks.

SPEAKER_02 50:46

I think it's like I think it's like a five hundred dollar hammer.

SPEAKER_05 50:49

Maybe it's been difficult for me to not want to go buy the the Craig version of the uh it's not out yet though. It should be real soon.

SPEAKER_04 51:00

Yeah, the domino domino thing.

SPEAKER_05 51:02

Yep. Hmm, Craig brought out a domino, huh? So I think I think it was supposed to be the first of June. I know a guy the uh the patent run out.

SPEAKER_01 51:12

I know a guy that knows a guy.

SPEAKER_04 51:14

So at Craig. We need to test one for HTG.

SPEAKER_05 51:19

The uh standby the patent run out on the the other one, the festool. So and shortly we should see lots of options, hopefully. Hopefully. That'd be really s I the what the only thing honestly holding me back is I don't want another battery. Yeah, if Milwaukee would come out with one, I'd buy in a heartbeat.

SPEAKER_01 51:39

You got a 3D printer, 3D print a fucking adapter for what?

SPEAKER_05 51:43

Uh the the Craig is battery. Tool is battery powered.

SPEAKER_01 51:47

I don't know, it's battery powered.

SPEAKER_05 51:49

So I don't really want another battery platform.

SPEAKER_01 51:51

It's Craig K-R-E-G, right?

SPEAKER_05 51:53

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 51:56

I wonder if it is out yet. Because I seen that the other day. I'm like, is that real? Yeah. This research. I'm like, that is they're really doing it.

SPEAKER_05 52:03

Yep. And from what I there's a couple different guys that have reviewed it and that they're pretty complimentary.

SPEAKER_04 52:12

Basically what do they call that one? It's not a domino, obviously.

SPEAKER_05 52:16

I don't remember what that's called.

SPEAKER_04 52:18

I'm gonna just type in Craig Domino. If that's really the price, $299. Acme has it for $300 right now. Yep. $300 for Craig Domino? Dyer said we're giving them half hour.

SPEAKER_01 52:34

That was supposed to be like $450.

SPEAKER_04 52:36

$299. Nice.

SPEAKER_01 52:40

Final words. Final words. If anybody wants to buy us a Craig Domino, hook a brother up. I'm working on it. Beyond that.

SPEAKER_04 52:52

That is all I have for last words.

SPEAKER_01 52:54

Chad, any last words? Uh no, it's been a long week.

SPEAKER_02 53:01

It has been a long week. Geyer, how about you? Find yourself some friends that are willing to suffer for you. I mean, we're all pretty good. That wasn't that wasn't fucking fun today.

SPEAKER_01 53:13

That motherfucker. Is that what you were gonna say? Took the words out of my mouth. I wasn't gonna say those exact words, but pretty much along the same lines of hey, when you're in the shit, whether it's I don't know if that door is gonna fit or not, or on a roof and it's fucking thunder, lightning, and hotter and balls out.

SPEAKER_02 53:34

Singing the hair, the lightning singing the hairs off your back.

SPEAKER_01 53:38

The Wookiee. I never smelled Wookiee hair, so he never got close to lightning.

SPEAKER_02 53:41

Well, it didn't get to the dingle berries then.

SPEAKER_01 53:43

But at any rate, when you're in those situations, look around and see who's there. And remember that down the road. Because those are the ones you can count on. And I that's something I've learned over the years, and that's why there's some people that say, Oh, you've gotten distant. We never hear from you. Well, you know what? I never hear from you either. It's a two-way street. And I'm not I'm not driving down streets that I don't meet people that they're coming at me too. I guess that's the easiest way I'm saying it. So and I'm just fine laying low, hanging out in my shop by myself if I have to.

SPEAKER_05 54:29

If I would have known only one or two people were gonna come help you, I would have come and we had a good crew yesterday.

SPEAKER_01 54:34

We had a good crew all the way through.

SPEAKER_05 54:35

I had enough hay down as I'm just not gonna be able to do it.

SPEAKER_01 54:38

And and I'll be honest, Chad, I'm adopting the same rules you have about heat because I I just can't take it anymore. I don't know what it is.

SPEAKER_04 54:47

It's just we had the perfect number of people.

SPEAKER_01 54:49

We did. Any more would have been too busy. But that's what I'm saying, though, is when you're in those when you're in the shit when shit's hitting the fan, look around. And that's take stock of that. The only other the only other thing I can say is look through your phone history and see who's reached out to just to see how you're doing. All those other people that only reach out when they need something. Remember that.

SPEAKER_04 55:22

Right.

SPEAKER_01 55:24

That's my new theory on life. I'm just maybe it's because I'm getting old, my wife says I'm getting grumpy. But happens.

SPEAKER_05 55:34

On that same token, I'm getting realistic. Like, you know what, I haven't talked to them for a while.

SPEAKER_01 55:40

That's true. I mean, there are there are and there are caveats to what I'm saying, because I got I've got a few friends that I don't hear from often, but when I do, we can pick right up where we left off. Yep. But I also take stock of who's there when I say, hey, I need a hand. Or I'm not sure how to do this. Those kind of things. And I think if more people thought that way, more people thought like a fella.

SPEAKER_05 56:09

You ain't cool not to be a fella, but people just aren't very neighborly anymore. No, not at all. And I on honestly, that's the way I think about us is we're we're just very neighborly.

SPEAKER_02 56:20

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 56:21

Say I know you need something and no one else is there for you, I'll be there.

SPEAKER_02 56:24

Right. The guy that lives across the street from my father-in-law saw us there. It was it yesterday morning.

SPEAKER_03 56:34

Hey, you guys look like you got a lot of people over there. You need another air compressor. Make sure you can run all them guns.

SPEAKER_02 56:41

Like, I think we're only gonna have two guns, but I'll tell you, I'll just bring her on over. That way, if something happens to the compressor you got, you got another one ready to go.

SPEAKER_01 56:51

But that's just yes, be neighborly.

SPEAKER_02 56:54

And that's what and and he like all winter long, he goes over, he takes care of my father-in-law's snow, and it like the first snow he saw my father-in-law struggling to move the snow, you know, to you know, just trying to do the snowblower because he's old and stubborn and he won't call anybody. Right. He watched him do that once and he walked across the street. He's like, Hey, Rick, why don't you just stay inside when the weather's shitty? When I get done with my driveway, I'll just come right across the street and I'll do that. It'll take me like two minutes to do that.

SPEAKER_01 57:23

That's probably the one thing that I miss living closer to town and not having a plow truck anymore. I used to love when I had time to just drive around and hit my friends' driveways. How many times did I just I'd swing in and hit yours? Just because I love pushing snow. I don't want to do it for a job. Right.

SPEAKER_05 57:40

But it's when I lived in town, I loved going around and doing the neighbors when when it when we didn't have school and right because we had a lot of snow. It's one of the biggest things why I'll hit everybody on the block.

SPEAKER_02 57:49

I had a swing snow.

SPEAKER_05 57:54

All the way to hit hit all the people I like that gave me the time of day.

SPEAKER_02 57:58

That's one of the biggest things tell you how many times Kayla. My neighbor Kayla, she loves shoveling. I don't know what it is, like she's obviously nuts in the head. Um, and but she's pretty cool. Uh, but she loves shoveling, like the the light fluffy stuff. Like, she'll get she'll she'll just go out there with her shovel and she'll shovel the entire freaking our whole side of the block, one end to the other. Shovel it all.

SPEAKER_04 58:26

No way. I had a really nice snowblower, and we lived in Marion, and I would do mine, and then I'd see the neighbor with a shovel out there, and I'd be like, okay, I'd take care of his, and then I'd see the other neighbor with the shovel and go take care of theirs. Code's like, where were you for like two hours? I'm like, I was plowing everybody's snow with my snowblower. Yep.

SPEAKER_01 58:45

Thing one and thing two are very anxious to hear about that roof. They've already heard, so piss off. But that's one of the reasons I want to work for myself is so that when I can. Mark loves me.

SPEAKER_06 59:00

Piss off.

SPEAKER_01 59:01

Yes, I know. So, but no, I want to work for myself. So then the cell phone tells me so uh winter time. I can be like, meh, I'm gonna go pull the driveways. Go polo driveways. I might I'm gonna build myself a nice tractor with a snowblower on the back. Like a 1066 with a turbo. I want a snowblower on a front of mine. I want a I there's a I found a 1066 with a cab. I'm like, that'd be perfect with a snowblower on the back, loader on front, and just drive around cleaning driveways. We'll see.

SPEAKER_05 59:34

I told both my neighbors say if we get such an amount of snow that your vehicle your tractor, whatever it is you've got, can't do it, let me know I'll do it.

SPEAKER_01 59:42

There's an insane amount of those front mount mowers like yours coming up on Facebook.

SPEAKER_05 59:46

And they're actually reasonable.

SPEAKER_01 59:47

I keep looking at like just setting one up for snow blowing. If I had somewhere just to store it when I'm not using it, because I I will have some sort of snowblower before next winter because I'm tired of pushing snow. I don't even have a loader bucket here for the skid loader anymore. Took it to dad's. Why? Well, the one that I had here was technically for the Mustang that's getting sold, so I said, sell that one. It's the shittiest one.

SPEAKER_04 1:00:10

So you don't have a bucket anymore?

SPEAKER_01 1:00:12

No bucket here. I got a bucket of dad's.

SPEAKER_04 1:00:15

Okay. I said, what are you gonna do if you need a bucket?

SPEAKER_02 1:00:17

I don't remember the last time I saw you use a bucket. I use a bucket. That's it. I think I I've seen you collect rainwater with the bucket. Oh, I'll tell you. Or more than I've seen you uh That's why I got rid of it.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:33

And it collected a shitload of rainwater. It was a mosquito brothel, that's all it was. So I got rid of it. I think that I think that long ass thing that I dumb it I bought thinking we were gonna have time to fix it up, it's going down the road too. Getting rid of it. I I am I am working towards having an empty driveway. That's my goal. Just my driveways are nice and graded out, nothing in them.

SPEAKER_05 1:00:57

Limited projects.

SPEAKER_04 1:00:59

Phone call from Kelly today. Why is there a truck in a trailer and a truck in our driveway?

SPEAKER_01 1:01:04

Stay tuned to the Patreon to find out why.

SPEAKER_04 1:01:06

Yep.

SPEAKER_01 1:01:06

We need to wrap this up. In the words of our fella Zach, I hope you roll an ankle.

SPEAKER_05 1:01:33

Don't get it twisted.
