some good lookin dabble
May be----but it's still dabbling-----Not done by a professional that welds 8 hours a day.
I'm a professional mechanic and experienced recovery/tow operator. I worked automotive
machine years ago---that was years ago---Haven't done it for a living in forever so can't
claim it as a pro. And this is where everyone likes to muddy the water with what they
think they know----------------------------------------but actually don't.

Just be be glad when you eventually see a cardiologist {and you will at some point},

Which comes around to resumes-----the art of nonfactual buildup of personal ability.
How best to word this so {I look way better at something than really am}. Most of
what people do is dabbling but they like to install that dabbling in their list of credentials
as being well above average in that certain task, which they are not. If in certain threads
on hef about {work, money and economy} many talk as though they are some kind of
expert financial adviser, a true mover and shaker with their finger on the pulse of the
world economy, when in fact being a financial adviser is a bit like reading tarot cards or
even thinking/saying the words crystal ball leads to total speculation. Which is truly
nothing more than having the ability or thinking they have the ability to sway others
opinions, because it is believed they have {sage advise or the voice of reason}. Although
those categories really requires special ability as a incredible {bullsh!tter}. Which goes
back to people embellishing what they can do or achieve or really know, life's resume.

A very over used term--skillset. Hence, I can-weld, frame houses, finish carpenter, heavy
equipment operator, hydraulics, plumber, pipe fitter, electrician-from 115 to grand coulee,
concrete, mason, heavy equipment transport, mechanic on everything-weed eaters to
largest ship engines, office manager, business owner, business counselor, crane operator,
pilot, farmer, logger, travel agent, mathematician, chemist, sanitation, and nuclear engineer.
and last but not least a true all american halfa$$ politician--really just a average fart smeller
all rolled into the resume for a job holding a shovel in construction, a very tight fit with no
room left to steer from their fictional wheelhouse. And everyone is a engineer even in areas
they have no degree in.

Yes buy that old excavator or dozer because complexity is unreliable---it only takes one
story about a ecm that can't be had to scare the masses---it's what social media does
best, spread horsesh!t.

50% of male population want to go back to non electronic controlled engines------------
but don't screw with their cell phone--no that stays--they need that electronic toy to
keep up with social media news and take photos while driving to post on {Over load
of the day}.

You ever get that Pete's House blend there Acoals? I'll be waking up about 2:30 am.
*I like mine on 10 cup level--the first cup it even brews, anything after that is tame.

I like Major Dickasons blend, myself. That guy was badass.
I bet he had a resume like the one above.

That blend is good---but, Dickason was a self impressed jackass, along with the other 65%.

One of hef's illustrious people pointed out I spelled some slang wrong, naturally there is no
such thing as Freightbuilt or Freightbilt. But in any event if there was such a animal I think
Freightliner would have the sense to spell it {built} rather than {bilt}. T.A. had the bad idea
to spell it as though he was part of the renowned Whitakers.

That trailers to short to be a full size pig trailer, so we'll have to call it a piglet trailer.

I wonder why it is so small, surely weight restrictions can't be that bad where it was operating?
Tandam axle pig here is 15 metric ton ATM. Approx 33k lb.
