My plane must have been so bad Don pulled it out of the contest

am i the 53rd wheel or something?

 

[TimC]

Are we getting matched after we finish? I haven't been matched yet (at least I don't think I have )

 

[bobasaurus]

Out of curiosity, how many total participants do we have?

 

[mochoa]

Yeah you get matched after you send Don the pic. That way we minimize the chance of people not receiving a plane because their gifter fakes out.

 

[donwilwol]

you get matched when I get your picture and address AND I get or have a plane close to what you want. So its possible you get a plane in the mail and I haven't even told you who to send yours to, and vice-versa.

We've had guys (and gals) come in late and a bunch dropped out. Everyone has until the 10th. On the 10th your either in or out, so I don't know how many will eventually show up.

Jordan, using you as an example, someone has your name and is sending your plane, and the next one in who is looking for something like you made will get yours. It should be soon.

Red, I would expect no less.

Got some news a bit ago, seems they gonna split my time up. Guess they don't wanna pay out 15+ days of overtime for me.

I'll get to see my plane sooner, BRK I say post after the deadline

Hey Don I can make something different this weekend if you need me to..

I have already received mine.

 

[BigRedKnothead]

^ I kinda liked my idea of your girlfriend opening it and sending you pics of the plane. Of course, if she got carried away with the camera….it could redefine "tool porn." lol

Lord, I apologize for that there, and…be with the pygmies in New Guinea, amen.

 

[Tugboater78]

Hey that idea could still be an option… Creative pics with the plane and such…

 

[DonBroussard]

@Tug-Reminds me of "one time, when I was at band camp" . . .

 

[donwilwol]

Hey Don I can make something different this weekend if you need me to..

[jordanp]

Been in internless working out of town all week.

The plane is done. Just got to fiqure out how to send don a Pic and it's on it way.

Terry R. I am a retired RN. Darn handy skills to have. Were is your buddies Nitro spray. He should never leave home with out it.

Had a stent in 2000. Genetic thing. No real problems since. but twice I heeded a shot and It sure is good having it in your pocket.

Highlight od the week. Power goes out Wnd PM for 1 hour. I had just started mixing a batch of concrete. As I am fixing and old broken cinder block basement.. Ok saved that load.

Thursday. Just mixing batch 3 for the day. Making great progress. The power goes out. GRRRRRR. wait an hour. no wait another hour. Empty concrete mixer and start to clean. No power no water. So what I had on hand I tried. What a mess. Well the power comes on 5 hours later. Mixer is a mess cause I was mixing fiber and bonding agent. GRRRRRR. Got some other no power needed jobs done.

Ordered a bunch of insulation stops for the re roof job. Idiots shipped the wrong product. nother 1/2 day shot.

Plumber shows up this early AM to fix some sewer pipes coming thru the failed wall. Ok He says be right back. Got to get some material. So I finish another job putting in triple beam the original builder missed. Now it's noon. No plumber. Said OH well. Or similar

So I packed up and drove home. Living in a tiny Mo HO 5 days a week starting to run out of fun. But Deer season starts soon so I was doing some spotting this AM.

This was parked were I stopped for lunch.

Sort of a plane?

Lakelover, I'm so looking forward to the day when I can say "I'm a retired RN." Hope your weekend is better than your week. Looks like a helicopter to me.

 

[Tugboater78]

Ohh tool porn pics have arrived! She called first and said it was pretty..

 

[donwilwol]

Candy, don't wish your life away!!

Justin, .... ahhh, never mind!

 

[CFrye]

Sage advice Don. Still, anticipation is a good thing. ;-)

 

[terryR]

LakeLover, you're a retired old fool? Awesome to hear it! Yeah, NTG saved the day…

Candy, you are a Nurse? I had no idea…now I feel sorry for you. Good thing you've found this thread to help you unwind after work! 20+ years for me in the Open Heart ICU. Now, I wanna be a woodworker! LOL

 

[LakeLover]

Candy, Retired sounds better than burned out.

Yea did ortho ward and took the OR course. then 6 years in the OR including charge nurse. Had a head to head with a nasty Female Doc and said F it. So did home care and longterm. Loved it all except the polotics and unions shiiiit. Last job I did Nursing was at a Navy Cadet Camp. I was the Senoir Nursing Officer. Civilian. But did have 5 + years in cadets and 3 reserves.

Was a blast, great term. but when it was done so was I. This was an old TB clinic were my Mom did a few months back in the late 40's as an RN. My Brother studued there in the 70's as a artist residence. A grand place with rich history, (Google Fort San) but the Gov shut it down. SO I went out at the top of the game.

Have considered a refresher course but 7 thousand $.......... Fu I'll hammer nails instead and no shift work.

Don sent me his email and pic sent.

Candy If you come to western Canada, I'll give you the tour.
