At 3:05 am last night, there occured a lightning strike/ thunder boomer so loud it woke me up and I was screaming. That's never happened before.
Firstly, McMom, who can sleep through an atomic blast, was not amused.
Secondly, reports of my masculinity have been greatly exaggerated.

You're trying too hard.

(Low hanging fruit for you)

It’s early... I’ve only had one cup of coffee. Stayed up late reading...

Sounds to me like you missed your chance for 1.2 Gigawatts and time travel.

Last time I time travelled it messed with my bowels. Took a dump in the machine. For me the experience was same ****, different day.

Never been around Middle Eastern or North African construction?

50 workers. 5 are supervisors, 2 are working and the other 43 are watching what's going on.

Chances are there's a line of excavators waiting behind him.

You just described a typical US highway construction crew

 

[AM64]

Nah. I already cast my own bullets from lead. I’m good. Interesting stuff for sure.

We did lead casting in shop when I was a HS freshman in Maine - also did bending and other shaping. The worst part was making a hammer out of SS stock with hand tools - it had to be polished to a nice finish with emery cloth. It's a shame that newer generations don't seem to have shop time built into the curriculum because there's nothing like a hands on experience to teach how to use tools and a sense of physics and strength of materials. You can teach stability etc with triangular shapes and how to strengthen corners from a textbook all day long, but you can teach the same thing in minutes with hands on experience and then follow it up with the math and physics behind the hands on experience. Really good engineers know how things work before they ever get to the academics behind it.

That's how any construction happens. Pictures I have seen always just shows the one crew out there.

I can just imagine you waking up like...

Do they not teach GA drivers the purpose of the left lane?

Someone only doing 80 in a school zone?

Wait wait wait. Georgia, or Atlanta?

You get my email?

If you've ever been to Atlanta and claim that you haven't been passed in the right lane, you're lying.

 

[DinkinFlicka]

As someone who drives from one end of Tennessee to the other on a very frequent basis, I can say that sh*t ain't limited to Georgia.

You're gonna hate this, but the best interstate etiquette I've seen so far is in Texas.

Did you startle yourself into a poop?

That's closer to reality than I care to admit.

Lol. What's with you and my bowel control lately?

 

[Carl Pickens]

Lol....
Sheesh: Things End Badly For This Thief Trying To Rob A Delivery Man!

Hey it's the first time I'm bringing it up.
