Me, when someone at work invites me to join their five day step challenge:
Stuffy nose is stuffy.
Ice is icey
School is notschooly today.
I think I shall make some good soup today.
Oh yea, I also got a check in the mail from the Apple class action suit for throttling my old phone. $92. Now to go blow that unexpected windfall on something superfluous yet fun.
"OHSA, is this okay?"
Every time I think about going back to the hangar, I see shit like this. We have dozens of ladders this tall, you know, without all the fuckery involved.

One of the building maintenance crew was cutting relief grooves into the sidewalk yesterday with zero protection and it looked like something was messed up with the guard on the saw. The saw was throwing a rooster of powdered concrete into his face the whole time and he was holding a cigarette in his mouth. So I says to him "Don't you worry about silicosis?" He looks at me with bleary hungover alcoholic eyes and says "Sillywhatis?""OHSA, is this okay?"

Nevermind. Just let it happen.
hello fronds
sick ay eff. Spent last night shivering then sweating. Now coughing which I think is a good sign in the sense that my body is clearing out the schmoo. Still, I feel like death. My son spiked a 103 fever last night. I hate seeing him sick, again. I have zero energy to do anything right now...my bike is effectively a brake hose, brake adapter, and shock hardware from being done.

You had me at hello
Going to refurbish the blackstone grill today, saved it from near death at the river house. Kids moved it out in the rain and never used it, rust everywhere, good reason to sand it down for a better season anyways.
in other news, 60’s and blue sky

That's what the cigarette filter is for. To catch all the particulate. Saw away!
What a clever hillbilly
Whoa now, that’s an improper use of the term Hillbilly. No one from Florida can qualify, no matter how backward and strung out on meth they are. Sorry.
The funny thing is the correct ladder is literally leaning against the back wall, It would drive me nuts as well. I have a very hard time dealing with "slow" people"OHSA, is this okay?"

That one can't be used, there is a little one blocking it, which is clearly an OSHA violation as it is a trip hazard. Why isn't there caution tape around that area?!
Our plant gets rid of stuff like this by simply not allowing step stools (except for the one hidden in the server room
).I also find it funny how there is a multimillion dollar plane being held up off the ground by a piece of wood and a jackstand that looks like it came from harbor freight.

To be fair, the tail stand is mostly just to keep it from tipping backwards off the jacks when too many overweight nightshift mechanics get in the cargo pit, more than an actual support. If there is weight on it, things have already gone horribly awry. I've definitely seen the aftermath of one getting crushed when it didn't get removed before down jacking by people who clearly weren't following procedure.I also find it funny how there is a multimillion dollar plane being held up off the ground by a piece of wood and a jackstand that looks like it came from harbor freight.
Edit: more frustratingly, this isn't even the dumbest thing I've seen today, and it's not even lunch time.

When I was working as a general contractor back in the day I would just buy the right ladders, scaffolding and whatever could get me gigged by the state. I had a plumber who would be notorious for using the wrong ladder just because it was lightweight, I ran it over with the all-terrain forklift and bought him an actual platform ladder. The cost of the ladder would have been cheaper than the infraction. Drywallers would always bring in the most jenky ladders and horse shit scaffolding, would toss them in the dumpster and buy them a real scaffold set.That one can't be used, there is a little blocking it, which is clearly an OSHA violation as it is a trip hazard.

I use similar jack stands for working on thuper doodies when on a 2-post lift, a crew cab dually is similar in balance to an aircraft, just hard to find jack stands that are 6' + or tallerTo be fair, the tail stand is mostly just to keep it from tipping backwards off the jacks when too many overweight nightshift mechanics get in the cargo pit, more than an actual support.

We have several sets of tripod multistage jacks that are taller than me even when fully compressed. They are of course, not cheap.
huh true, I didn't look closely and thought that was the front. But also had that voice of reasoning in my head saying thats a pretty small door for the wheel well.To be fair, the tail stand is mostly just to keep it from tipping backwards off the jacks when too many overweight nightshift mechanics get in the cargo pit, more than an actual support.

The county finally assigned an address to the coast property, which only took 2 months, Surveyor is even slower, and don't get me started on the roadmaster
All I have to do is support the hitch so a truck doesn’t go rotate into launch mode while up on the lift.
I also use them for positioning bumpers when welding custom stuff, even these weren’t cheap
Don’t most giant, he-man trucks come equipped with a step ladder ? How else does a morbidly obese man get into one ? Never owned one myself so I have no idea.
But what happens when someone bumps into the stand ?
early bird get that worm...
I got a delivery an Amazon delivery at 3:15 am this morning. That's a first.
I love that the guy is just like “well, my work is done here, bye”
