Raider Nation Fisher

Merry Thanksgiving!

I went to get Call of Duty Ghost tonight at WalMart. I had planned on going alone, in the hopes of stirring the chaos. Well I was made to take my five year old with me. So that quelled my Holiday mayhem. However, we did see five sets of multi combatant fights. As well as blood splattered floors. Then to top it all off. My son asked me when we were going to "jump over the dead". I may have told my wife we were going to, "trample the weak and hurdle the dead". Didn't know he was listening to that part of the conversation.

Congrats homie.

Well played my friend.

So how many of yall are die hard fans of your chosen teams? I'm talking about DIE HARD fans. Examples. If we have a daughter we are naming her Chelsea after our favorite football club. Which will hopefully be tatted across my left forearm in four inch high letters once we get our finances straight. My wife and I knew a boy in school who's parents gave him the first name Auburn. My sister went to school with a girl named Crimson Ann White. My uncle and my oldest brother in law both have Tampa Bay Bucs tattoos. Not to mention the numerous Alabama and Auburn tats you see around the state. So I ask again. Are there any other full on diehard fans on here?

I went through a rough patch with employeers recently. I took about a month an a half off work to handle some stuff. Got lined out on three jobs making fat cash. Which were located in the North. All of which got pushed out until January. We learned my wife was pregnant as well during this time frame. Travel stopped appealing to me during this time also. Took a day to replan things and ended up joining the local. That's the abridged version. The full length version is much more humorous and intriguing. The ghost of Ebert gave it two gold stars, two thumbs up, and a slack jawed smile.(yup I said it) It has been billed as the hit Working Man Comedy of the year, by the Bass Resource Times. Timothy Hansel atThe Birmingham Tribune says, "It made me laugh, cry, and feel wander. At the life of this intrepid Sparky who only wants to live his life right, fish and hunt, and make an honest wage for his work."

You dang sure weren't lying. My jaw literally dropped when they told me what all it included.

As of today my new title is Journeyman Wireman Welder. Kinda catchy huh? I just joined the IBEW.

Thanks Glenn. Also, the food forum is missing now.

Nope. They keep pushing the job back furthur. Now it starts middle of January. So I have found better employment down here. I will be building and upgrading power plants and steel mills. Pay is phenomenal and the benefits are the best I've ever seen or heard of. They also present me with the opportunity to work anywhere in the country without taking test and what not. I wish I had done this sooner.

I was starting to go into withdraws!

Gotta do the PCT. You shoulda known that.

That's about how it goes too.

Its money related. Probably fringe benefits too. Everything he does is money related. He don't care about Bama. He cares about the money. Excuse me. His wife cares about the money. They are extremely close to my aunt and uncle.

I got it from my very reliable source that Nicky is most likely heading to Texas next year. Which means Auburn needs to stomp him for his final iron bowl.

That was the most epic game I have seen in recent memory! Holy crap! Even with that HORRID call by the obviously blind zebra, my Tigers pulled it off and won. I'm still bouncing off the walls after watching that! Better watch out Bama! Those Tigers ain't playing around this year!

Straight up gnarly metal beard! This is what I'm going for. The Raiders jersey is a nice touch too.

I'm down.

That's not adapting its selling out. Or if you prefer its becoming one of "them"! Electrician til Death!

All I remember of it is, "back into the left." It was on the video we watched in middle school.

Use your pipefighting background and learn to TIG weld. Process piping pays good. As a fitter too you should be able to avoid lifting heavy stuff.

Stop trying to change him into a carpet walker.

You already got the background and the experience in hvac. Branch it out. Use your head ya dumb pipefighter. Look into PLC and control work. It dont get any easier than that, least as far as non strenuous work goes. Take the AB classes or whatever Logic course they have. Its three weeks and will make you more money than any pipefighter ever dreamed of. You work HVAC/R so you obviously have experience with controls. It ain't a night and day difference on the control side. The theory is the same.

Still weighing options. Should have something definitive by the first of next week. Ain't out of money yet, but getting close. Has been a nice four weeks off though. I got two interviews tomorrow and one on Tuesday.

I'll be rocking a Raiders bandana over my face. Wouldn't want to ruin the anonymity of the GREATEST, BEST, MOST FASCINATING bass fishing Raiders fan of all time. Raiders rag on my head, Raiders rag on my face, Chelsea Jersey on my back, Black and Silver ADIDAS pants, and some nice comfy flippy flops (in Chelsea blue of course)! I look forward to seeing all yall. I know I can make at least two days.
