  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    Yea, I have one of those on the third floor mezzanine 106-108 outside the room and 76 inside the room. Have a small fridge full of drinks and an air mattress for those all-nighters when the plant does shutdowns for maint or repairs (don't tell anyone because no one will climb all the stairs so only the boss and I know).

I go outside in the sun to stop sweating and if im in the warehouse doing tickets on the computer its 10 mins tops before im literally dripping in sweat and all clothes sticking to me . at least I have a shaded carport for the Buick to stop the interior getting messed up
