drunk LMAO!! long read!
no doubt, fresno, cali and snow....hahaha, i feel ya beater, i spent almost 3 1/2 years in columbus area, actually it was seymore,IN.its fun to come visit, but i couldn't live there(i could my wife couldn't she can't drive with patchy ice, she would frak when all the roads are covered in hard pack, guessing where the road is in places!!)
i loved it up there, thats some beautiful country there, when you get out away from town, and deer and turkey everywhere!!! BIG deer, guess all the corn they can eat.
i contracted alot of work for kabelco.(they make powdered metal, now thats something to watch!!! thats the stuff they make connecting rods from now ,....pm rods), i did most of the piping in the ovens they had. they make tractors and everything else you can imagine, thru other companies they own.
we had to put schd 80 hastaloy elbows were it made a 180 degree bends and it zig zaged back and forth every 2 ' for about 100 yds. drying every bit of the powder, once they had exploded it into powder. the fire they was shooting through the pipes would eat 3/4'' regular steel in a week or so it was so hot and that hastaloy could handle it, about every 2 yrs they had to replace it.
talk about a pain to weld, we had to heliarc the root, then fill it with some special alloy rod(had to heat it almost white hot before you could strike an arc on it, it was so hard if you didn't, no penetration and you could peel your bead right off the surface of that stuff) we redid almost all of their steamlines too.
we also did alot of steam lines for rose acres, also. actually thats where we worked at the most, had to do alot of welding for them, they were making a dog food factory next to one of their egg houses.(that is the most efficient company i have ever seen in my life, no waste what so ever!!! from growing their own corn, then to an extraction plant(thats where i worked,mostly puting in a wood burning boiler and steam lines,) they burned chicken $hyt and feathers and dead chickens in the boiler, so they could quit buying natural gas and they went fully self sustained and like i said had no waste, it was an amazing opperation!!!.) they sold the corn oil and used the meal to make feed for the chickens that laid the eggs, sold the chickens that quit laying to tyson foods, used the bad eggs and corn meal to make the dog food,
i mean they absolutley had no by product what so ever and had no overhead, they even dried enough of the corn to plant next years crop and owned the fertilizer company to and they sold it also so they had revenue from that also,i really can't stress enuff how self suffencent they were bought nothing from outside sources(if they did, they bought the company) and had absolutly no waste!!!) i helped build the dog food factory at a place alittle further north than seymore. at what they called a breaker plant,
at the golf capitol of the world,it was where indiana beach is at. it had an amusement park and stuff there, it was kinda neat!! they had huge tanks of egg whites, egg yokes and mixed that busted as they seperated the yoke from the egg, we would take gallon jugs to work and fill them with the mix and have scrambled eggs or omlets and bacon, sausage for breakfast, i really liked it up there.
but the winter, thats different now, ya'll get some snow , i'd hate to go any further north. i seen stop signs buried up there. 5-7 feet of snow easy, where it had blown across open areas and hit the side of the road it would be a snow drift about 10-15' high deep enough to bury the road signs!!!!and stay for a week or 2...and do it every winter... jeez(we go 3-4 winters without even seeing the white stuff down here and the cold is different, dryer up there and doesn't feel as cold)at 38 i could wear a short sleeve shirt up there, as long as wind wasn't blowing, the wind would cut you!!you can't do that here at 38 we're freezing, well most people, i winterized when i was up there, i bought clothes that they don't even sell down here, and when i came back down here every1 was jealous of my winter gear, the winters didn't bother me, i had special clothes i had found up there and i could stay warm!! still got it all, and i love it, i mean people down here haven't seen pants that are flannel lined, they just aren't in the stores, and i be dam, you can't find osh kosh down here to save your life. i need to get with some1 around there to buy me new clothes as my stuff wears out, because you just can't buy the stuff down here to prepare for a winter like you have !!!
we are lucky if we get 4-5'' and its gone in 2 days..we see 0 f maybe a week, and the days are scattered out ,thats just counting them up over a winter. it may get down in the teens for a week or two but thats about it, hit zero 7-8 times but i am prepared ,from being up there, i'm good to -120f and its midto low twenties on average here, so i'm good!! i still wish i could find me some more osh kosh overalls tho!!! ok, every1 can wake up now and read something exciting like that 24k dana 60 with the platnum axles and the diamond studs, yea i been drinkin, since about 6:30 yesterday. i think i can spell but i'm going to use the spell checker for the 1st time, just in case and this may make some sense this afternoon ,cause i'm sleepin all day!!! i think i started typing this at 3 am i think i was a sleep at the wheel,err keyboard off and on,i've had a pack of camels evaporate and i think little green men came and took em cause i aint smoked that much, i don't think, oh well who's got a cigarrette i got a carton some where i'm just talking to myself now guess i better leave before i do sumn silly heeheeeheeee

When it gets to -25 or -30, the 3 speed column shifter on my 70 K5 does not want to move. I also have the engine knock syndrome till oil pushes its way through.
