It was about 17 years ago and it wasn't cancerous but it was the size of a large orange. I had 33 staples across my head after the surgery.
And here you are today Amanda, God has a plan for you my dear!

They brought a coffee truck onsite today to thank all the employees for our hard work.














Coffee machine is broken but they have tea and kool-aid. :face-with-rolling-eyes:
Time to strike Tim! Start the picket line, others will join.

So I know you guys know a lot of stuff about a lot of things. LOL But does anyone know if there is a way I can paint galvanized steel siding without having to sand it? It's to go on Leo's barn and as some fancy folks would say it's got that rustic (aka a little rusty) look to it.

Yes, you can apply an etching primer designated for galvanized metal and then choose a high quality paint

Lol and that's where the name comes from. That was the first truck that I ever bought myself. When I joined r2r, I didn't realize I would meet my 2nd family and post thousands of times. So alas, I'm stuck with this name eternally. Great shout out, Luis!

Is that your tank John? Do you have a full tank shot?
It is! Yep I dug a couple up for you, buddy. It has changed a little over the 8 or 9 months that it's been running.
