Least you have a union representing you...

 

yeah thats true, in these times it's a benefit to have the union represent you just for job security. I never use to like them till now, seems like that the friends I have that don't have a union job are at greater risk of loosing their jobs in this poor economy. Also I am in an industry benefiting from the poor econ and high fuel prices, major comapnies don't wanna ship by truck because it costs so much now. Now they are shipping by rail. I will say the one that sucks about my union is the we are one of a few that can't go on strike because of what we do for the country. There is a clause in our contract that states the military can force us back to work if we go on strike. We do "strike" but its in a silent manor.

 

what powers most locomotives?

fuel or coal?

 

Unions have their place. But for the most part, I am not a fan.

Had some grilled ham and cheese for supper. Was good.

I like 9mm. Plenty of power with the right ammunition. I'd like to get a few 45s at some point though.

I still have my Glock 21 that I kept when I retired but because I never practice with it, I only keep the revolvers and SG handy.
We couldn’t strike either so our union was sometimes a joke.

madhat: I did notice how many times you mentioned beer but refuse to acknowledge it.

 

LS diesel fuel, they do smoke like they run coal


I couldn't agree with you more, union do have there place. Industries like mine they do, but in other they don't. I was never a fan of them, still on the fence but at least this one fights for our job and doesn't ask for stupid amounts of money for our hrly rates. I live near chicago, the town was built on unions so its a prominent thing here.

 

Night shift checking in. Sorry I missed that lunch.

Hoping to get another Sig soon myself. Sounds like the dept. is planning on going from the 226 to the new 229DAK. Might get a .40 to go with the 9 from the last time they changed over.

 

Evening.

Watching some Deadliest Catch on TV now. Love this freaking show.

Kicking it, other than that. Kinda bored.

Whats everyone else up to?

 

its my birthday!!

 

Happy birthday, have a cup of coffee, now get back to work...

Sorry, janitor's been scarce, just picking up the slack.

 

happy birth day, are you having a big party?

 

Happy birthday Iker.

 

Iker42: Happy birthday…where is the beer?
Jbjarko: Kind of like the show but they really have started hamming it up (conflicts etc) for the camera.
Redleg: I have been away from it for so long. Had to look up 229DAK cause I had never heard of it. Nice!

 

Yeah, all the sigs are nice, just not sure about dual action only for performance? I do like the looks of the new HK's and Smith's, but should be able to get a deal on the sig. ALso, they got our shield lazer etched on the slide for I.D. when they went to the .40 and it' looks pretty sharp.
