...... who in the right mind would need a house when they have THAT!!!!  ^^

[Holmes]

:o holy crap, for that price tag I hope they are paying you good  <)

Good to hear from you Az, I'm back stateside again, for awhile anyway heh.

Talk about landing in manure pile and coming out smelling like a rose!!!  Nicely done Azis,  gotta beat working on lawnmowers. 
Let us know when you're allowed to invite 'guests'......lol.

[M1A2Tanker]

That's awesome man.  Glad to hear you got a pretty sweet gig. 

Wild though...gone from lawnmowers to big ol yachts.  Not that this is a bad thing but it's kinda one of those things that shows that ya never know what life will throw at ya. 

Though if one of those was thrown my way....well, first I'd get out of the way, and then I'd move in.  ;D

[Azis]

I never meant to perceive there was any glory in this job hehehe, fact is it's tail bustin work actually. Hangin by my toes most of the time or squirmin through a bilge under the engines or sumin wiring up electrical enclosures. Pay, LOL, well I do get a weekly paycheck and I have had worse, certainly had better tho.

Don't guess I will ever find myself bellyin up to either of the bars or loungin in front of the big screens catchin a NASCAR race, but I guess I am lucky I got a job of any sorts the way things are these days.

If ya seen Crimson Tide, where the radio has gone out and they are sweatin bullets tryin to cross wires to make it work agin....
hehehe thats kinda what it reminds me of.

For some reason I get a "Down Periscope" image of the electrician holding a wire between his toes and one in right hand to make the squawk box work heheh

*Runs a current through the wire to see if the wiring's finished yet*  :-4

**a loud scream is heard in the head, followed by a flying Tank through a porthole and into the water**









**returns later, soaking wet and very annoyed** That...was NOT funny Snoop!
