Yes! Happy Independence Day!



I never understood what a "bicentennial baby" meant growing up, hard to believe USA is only a 243yr old country...being old as a Susan B Anthony coin has it's (dis)advantages lol

Lol, how could you not know what that meant? I was reminded of it often when I was younger..

I mean c’mon, the Freedom Train - dope!

i think you are doing it wrong!

I am? I was just browsing salaries for the jobs from back then. Been a long time since I've seen a pay stub.



The economy is doing something wrong seeing inflation alone should cause that salary rate to go from $20 to $34.

Well back then shop rates to cover fancy dealerships and annual mid 5 figure OEM mandated electronics updates were not 125 an hour at the Chevy dealer either

Construction industry, not automotive.



Journeyman mason from ~1997-2004 (apprenticeship started in 1996), topped out at just under $21/hr (which was avg for experience). Searched local jobs just to see what is out there since construction is booming here in SFL, same job is boasting $14-18 as if it's good money by today's standard.

Any plans? I might head over to the drag strip tomorrow to watch some racing. Not much going on besides that.

[laidback93]

I've got over two more hours to go. UGH. I hate working the day after the 4th. I used to get the 5th off at my old company.

I'm ready to have a drink, jump in the pool and end the night with some Stranger Things.

I took today off. Went to Costco and Cabela's, then went and saw Dark Phoenix. Tomorrow I'm gonna go offroading in the jeep. But it is 95 degrees out...oof

[parkerbink]

It was 90 at 8am, 108 now and it's unseasonably cool.

LOL

Sounds like you're in a dry desert...try that with humidity and get back at me.

[TeXJ]

Summer is just starting here.

The summer I decided that working outside wasn't for me was when it was 110 out and I was digging dirt out of trenches for house foundations.

[Motheye99]

I just drove past death valley, it was 101. Not to bad all things considered.

Laughs in Cajun.
Texas bros suffer with us Louisiana people.

[parkerbink]

We have 22% humidity. I spent 2 years in Hawaii. If I never see 85 & 85% 24/7 again I'm good.

If I ever get told I have to work a lay barge across a swamp south of I10 ever again I am quitting then and there. I have no idea how people live down there anytime of year outside of January
