Welcome back, wesw!
Somehow I always knew that you'd be back...
So it's Thursday Feb 19, 2015 wherever both wesw and Joe are? Hmmm, here in Ohio it's only February 18th 2015. I guess they must be not-at-all in the USA or.... they... share... the... same... incorrectly... set... computer! :!: :o :o :o

Just don't tell us that in addition to smoking weed in a shed, you also used to be an electrician who had a girlfriend in Connecticut... 8-)

The crux of the biscuit is the apostrophe.

Or, as wesw would say, "the crux of the biscuit is the _________".

but I like commas! ...as long as they don t get too uppity and think that they are apostrophes...

I possess the ability to use apostrophes when necessary.

wes' rule, don t waste punctuation, you may need it at the end....

thanks, it s been colder than a witches tit in a brass brassiere around here , older n wiser.

there is only a thin line between priceless and worthless....

anyway, I really wasn t fair to welders. lord knows I ve done enough welding myself, some welds , and types of welding , require perfection. very few welders have the patience perception skill and intelligence and foresight to accomplish critical welds in an efficient and profitable manner. we checked some welds with ultrasound equipment in house, and some were checked further in the field after and during the erection process using methods including x-ray testing as well as ultrasound, I believe. I was a shop guy and didn t go to the job sights often. we didn t make many mistakes that required us to leave the shop. the really skilled welders can work anywhere in the world and make serious money.

I worked for Crystal steel fabricators in Delmar, Delaware if you are interested. you can google them and get to the company website to check out the work we did, some of it was pretty cool. we generally took on the most difficult , cut up , jobs that no one else wanted to deal with.

I m not totally convinced that the owner was not a Chinese deep cover agent, we did a lot of military work and gov t work, but he was good to me either way. his son runs things now.
