PSA
On behalf of my generation, I'd like to apologize. I wear my pants properly and thusly, I have no swag. This probably explains why I have successfully reproduced and am married at age 24.

Bayou Bulletin:
Today is the first day I've received a paycheck in something like 15 years
I've been working for myself for 8 of those and all the others have been for less than on the up and up companies...
Week #2 of my new life as a Rodman (construction survey field)
I've been having a good time absorbing tons of new info, I went down in a 60 foot sump (hole in the ground) and took center line shots on a concrete slab being poured to support a demineralization tank. I've been doing well with a new industry language.
I had to memorize inches to tenths of feet on my second day on the job. I'm happy I've been able to keep up with my crews demands so far 1" .08, 2" .17, 3" .25, 4" .33, 5" .42, 6" .50, 7" .58, 8" .67, 9" .75, 10" .83, 11" .92, 12" 1.0
Sorry it helps me to practice and chance I get
Next is to do hundredths of a foot, example: .480=5-3/4"
I have two new tape measures I've never seen or read. Engineers tapes have tenths and hundredths and thousandths of a foot markings Lots of learning here in the bayou. I had a pound of boiled shrimp last night, awesome. Boiled crawfish earlier for dinner
My loving friend Dennis here has done something sooo wonderful it's hard to even express how grateful I am.
As hard as it has been to leave my family and take this leap into a new career and location for the next 1-1 1/2, I always know I've got a great community of support and laughter and love here in Reoville. Thank you all for well wishes, not just to me, but they way it goes around to everyone. I really enjoy reading how everyone here is doing in the lounge........
All I can really say is thank you
ohhh and pics soon
p.s. As some of you here may know through "in the wild sightings" or Kay's thread "The Real Us" This reonaut has a beard North of the equator

The part of peeps wearing their pants at their ankles
Tell me about it. I live in a predominantly ghetto town where I have seen men as old as 40 sagging their pants so low that you can see their thighs WHILE WEARING BOXER SHORTS!
Sent from my mind using telepathy
I was in a convenience store recently when a young guy came in with his pants about half way down to his knees. I told him to pull them up and wear a belt in the future as no one was interested in viewing his underwear. He turned towards me and I was expecting a smart azz answer, pulled up his pants, and walked away. How in the hell can a person function normally while having to hold up your pants with one hand constantly? If that is "swag", these kids are seriously dumb!
I was in line at the register the other day and this person in front of me couldn't reach his wallet without some serious contortions, if it wasn't so stupid it would have been entertainin'...
Hope this kid lives in a safe neighborhood. No way could he run!!!!!!!!!
I was thinkin' sumpthin' along those lines
He'd fall flat on his face and bust his nose! 8-o
But still
I was thinking the same thing! I've been in enough "scuffles" to suspect that a man with his pants around his ankles would be at a serious disadvantage.
