Don't recall who said it here but it's true: "Takes a scraping and keeps on vaping." We like our battle scars here.

May have to own up to that quote, IIRC, was in ref to the resinators, Rob said something about running a truck over it (or is that a snowplough these days) and I reckoned it was like the Timex of mods - takes a scraping and keeps on vaping. - probably more memorable than 'agent orange' !!

Welcome to the neighborhood :) So have you decided on a color for #2 yet?
Thanks [emoji2]

Don't encourage me... ha, I've already started entertaining dreams of throwing a BF Derringer on an SL LP Black Wrinkle
And grabbing one of Chowder's Omertas for this current one.

And just when I thought that my pocket book had recovered from my last outbreak of shinyitus [emoji37]

Oh wow, you guys are awesome. Didnt expect to find 4 pages of replies this morning!

As far as crazy goes.... I'm pre registered in the nuthouse, so it seems I've found the right place [emoji39]

super_x now I'm going to have to post with all my gear when I get into work tomorrow

I look forward to seeing it bro. I sometimes miss walking the site and threatening to hire laborers to clean up after the trades and backcharge them or the dreaded phrase "if ya'll can't start to clean up after yourselves, we're gonna start a composite clean up crew - every trade will furnish a man starting at 7:00am Friday morning and ya'll will spend the day cleaning up the job. If you don't / can't provide a man, we'll provide a laborer fer ya and backcharge the costs against yer contract"

I used to love running those meetings and listen to how everyone "was cleaning up already". My response was typically something along the lines of "then why the hell am I wading thru piles of shizz when I walk the bldg?"

The electricians always claimed innocence yet were usually the biggest offenders :)

And damn that new red door looks good on the hammertone

Congrats on the first Reo! The black wrinkle was my first one too, i've been using it for about a year and just received my second one from Rob the other day. Silver Vein LP/SL with an authentic Odin to match =] My black wrinkle sure does look nice with the black odin, even if it is a clone



These are all the mods I have in rotation now, but the Reo's get the most use. Kato box has a subtank mini and the Stingray X (clone) has an authentic Kayfun 4

I'm going to be picking up a Sigeli 100 watt+ from a buddy pretty soon though, I like to have at least one regulated mod around the house

Yes. I. Was. There were more bs partnership stickers on there and they didn't come off so I masked em. I say bs because the company I worked for here in GA was not a partner to anything but the dollar and a big part of my job was using the golden rule more than I believe was ethical. But that's how they functioned and I either went along with it or I woulda had to move along. Many GCs operate under the same principals.

And Yes. It. Does. (The door). Thanks bro.

Dayum thats nice...[emoji14] Pretty much exactly how sweet I thought it would be. Very nice setup inswva

I hear you when it comes to the safety factor, honestly haven't met a GC that wasn't however I've only dealt with residential construction & industrial. But you see it everywher... hell, even the pharma plant I work in is full of it.

At the end of the day its all about liability and $. Get it done as fast as you can, and if you get hurt.... well then, that's when safety comes into play.

In the form of; "why the Hell weren't you being safe!"


[emoji29] Ok ok, im done ranting now! ::eyeballs inswva's SL/LP some more::
