Liar. That’s not what you said. Last response to sirbannedalot.

Yep, what about Biden crime family of thieves?

Really? You think I don’t know how you operate. You have attacked the retirees on multiple occasions. You don’t fool anyone, Mr. chill pill.

Didn’t you forget the Burisma money laundering secured by your idol, Hunter, plus 10% for the big guy? You really have no merits to any of your posts.

Hunter, why does anyone keep posting on a board they have been banned from multiple times? My generation, my parent’s and grandparent’s generations are responsible for many things that made this country the best the world has seen. What has your generation done but complain and crave free stuff? When the communists come for your guns and property, think about me and the generations you so despise.

Maybe grunt doesn’t describe me well. I was skilled at what I did. I was never a plant employee. Some of our guys were lucky and got absorbed into plant employment. When we lost the maintenance contract, my old manufacturing plant reopened and I returned there, working until I retired. I could complain about missed opportunities, but I am who I am, and it’s been good. Just installed a walk-in shower and deciding on how to trim it out. If your wife is anything like mine, when you change one room, the whole house needs a facelift. Lol

Very impressive. I’m just a grunt, but it takes all kinds to make it work. I’m not sure what happened to DuPont in Beaumont. There was an ammonia facility there because they had an ammonia ship, The American Eagle, that I loaded stores aboard back in the day. The smell would almost knock you down. Now, there is a new ammonia plant under construction across from the prisons on hwy 69. I always wondered who figured out what went where, when looking at all the piping. I guess I found one. I’ve worked with some blueprints for shooting elevations and setting forms, but I don’t think I could tackle a piping print. Lol

My knowledge is very limited to being a sub-contracting scaffold builder who also did civil duties. I picked up what I could as I went along because it was interesting to me. I couldn’t build a scaffold inside a vacuum tower with bubble cap trays without asking about the process. First thing is that they use a vacuum because it takes less heat. It’s been decades since I worked in the plants, so I may be a bit rusty with memory and might make some mistakes. I started at the Texaco plant in Port Arthur. Worked their #3 Cat unit on a shutdown, then transferred to their chemical side and worked maintenance for years. The cyclohexane unit was very small but it was considered a money maker. I formed up several pump containment slabs and some required Chockfast Red, a self leveling acid resistant material that hardened like steel. We did anything maintenance required. There is so much more that I could talk all day, but most people couldn’t care less. It brings back some great memories.

I bet we had a high LOB count tonight.

Great saying. I believe the gouging comes from the individual outlets. On average, they get resupplied 2-3 times a week, so there’s no doubt they received some deliveries of the cheaper priced gas, but their prices didn’t reflect it. Even though it may sound greedy when quoting profits, most people don’t realize how much our entire existence depends on petroleum products. Many moons ago, I worked on a unit that produced cyclohexene, which was then combined with hydrogen to produce cyclohexane. It is then mixed with other chemicals to produce nylon, which is a primary synthetic fiber to make carpet. That blew my mind when those plant workers taught me that. I learned a lot in the plants. Still much more to it than I could learn. Maybe sometime we can discuss cat crackers and vacuum towers. I have limited but interesting knowledge. I try to learn something every day, even at my age.

I liked Arrighetti, but he had some very early exits. We do need pitching more than OFs. Play just now…..Straw is super fast, but not that fast. Lol

Apparently we don’t need him either. I have a hard time accepting a player back on the team who was offered a record contract at the time of his departure.
