  1. I used to work at worthington cylinders and I can tell you from experience that there is a reason they are always looking to hire, the pay is shitty (at least ten years ago when I worked there), and they act like slave drivers (they used to give me shit for going to take a piss). They also tend to hire a lot of temps and lay them off in 6 months to a year so they can keep the costs of employment down, at least that's what I observed when I worked there. Now back on topic, welding is a pretty cool trade and it can pay well. My question is for you though, is this something you want to do for the rest of your life? It's a good skill to have for a hobby or to do it for a couple hours a day, but doing it for 8 hours a day for 20 years or so will cause sight problems still. I did it for 8 hours a day for 2 years and I already notice a slight change in my eyesight, so I recently changed jobs to prevent any further damage. I'm not trying to talk you out of it, just trying to give you something to think about.
  2. Does this mean I can make requests now?
  3. Interesting they are finally looking at variable ratio superchargers for cars, they used to use them in aircraft successfully in the second world war (I'm sure the setup was a lot different though). Also to add to what fubar said, I wonder how difficult that belt will be to replace when it needs it.
  4. Ya I'm in the warehouse on huntley road, what part of Emerson are you in? I've never seen you on the floor at liebert (if your the guy at hd that I'm thing of).
  5. My old blazer has been buried to frame rails a couple times before, we have never had to leave it though. We did pull it out once with a civic though lmao. Disclaimer: we never had tires bigger than 31's on it though.
  6. I commend you for quitting drinking. I had a close friend of the family pass away about a year ago due to liver complications from drinking. He knew it would eventually be the end of him as his father passed from the same thing, but he just couldnt quit. That said, i know how hard it can be, and I wish you the best of luck.
  7. He is supposed to arrive at the plant in worthington between 1 and 2. His speech starts at 2:30 with gates being open starting at noon. AFAIK the only road that's closing is dearborn Dr. starting at 9am.
  8. That's okay, mitt romney is going to be at worthington industries tomorrow... That's right across the street from where I work (well I moved to the warehouse, but the shuttle truck has to go through there and I'm gonna be at work all night waiting for parts to ship). There is going to be some hellacious traffic around there. Fml.
  9. My bad, you are correct. My previous comment was referring to the pipelines to Canada from the dakotas, also the one they were talking about building from Texas to canada a couple years ago.
  10. This... Most people don't realize that most oil produced in America doesn't stay in America. The gas you put in your car more than likely came out of the ground somewhere in the middle east.

  12. That's pretty bad when they can't even give away services.
  13. Unless your name is David Wiggins.
  14. You could try one of these... http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/w392/uummm1/IMAG0043.jpg Kinda like an electric tennis racket.
  15. ^^ I was thinking the same thing, but also, are you having any spark issues? If spark is blowing out (i know its not as likely on a n/a motor), it could cause vibration and it to run rich.
  16. How creepy is your roommate? Does he take pics while hiding in your closet too? Congrats anyways.
  17. Politicians looking out for what's best for our country... :dumb:
  18. Let me guess, you pointing out another dumb post? Why pay for something I don't use? :dumb:
  19. I don't have cable at home, I'm not home enough to watch tv all that much. So this is all that is on.
  20. I just started watching 5 mins ago and it already delivers. Seems as if the claws are coming out.
  21. They are from jegs, they are 2.5 to 2.25 reducers, mild steel. They are brand new with gaskets and hardware. I bought them for my camaro but never used them. Since I have to put a price, they are one million dollars, but I would let the first person who wants them talk me down to free so I don't have to just pitch em.
  22. Unless wiggs comes back or someone can post the dyno numbers for him, this thread needs to die.
