Ahhh.... aggy. “From the outside looking in, you can’t understand it. And from the inside looking out, you can’t explain it.”

Oh c'mon already. What's in the box? What's in the box?

Get a few friends posing as health workers to haul you out of the house.... put edibles in everyone's lunch today.... tell them you've spontaneously converted to Islam... cmon' man I know you got this

Dating sites when the all-clear has been sounded..... or so I'm hoping anyways

Next day & a little more familiarity with the 'new-to-me' machine... feeling better about the amperage setting and horizontal 6011 is getting a little less choppy. Still could use a touch more uniformity and better bead overlay but I haven't done this one in a while and at the end of the day just stacking beads is great practice. Also going back and forth with vertical up 7018 stringers on some 2" by 3/8" thick angle iron. I'd like to tighten this one up with some more uniformity but this is also a harder weld. 5th pass vertical with 5 stringers. I'll probably break out the leathers and practice overhead next week.🤢 Also... a downside to the Miller Thunderbolt XL... it ships with some pretty short and dinky leads. So far that's the only knock I've got on the machine. Alright... I'm not going to keep posting practice pictures or turn this into a diary... just bored AF and welding my way through the pandemic. Stay safe & sparky

I'm guessing I've gained 5-7 alcohol related pounds since this quarantine business got rolling. There really is nothing better to do than drink in the late afternoons. Yes, there are better things to do but don't tell me that.

Flu situation has me bored off my ass and holed up along with most of the rest of the country. One way I've been passing the time is going to the shop several hours a day and practicing welds I haven't done in a while or stacking beads. For about a week I did vertical up stringers (3G) with 7018 and yesterday I started stacking horizontal (2F) with 6011. ... I have access to a Miller Thunderbolt XL now and it's my first time using one, so while I was practicing yesterday I was also getting the feel of the machine. I'm not real familiar with these but it's a fine little machine. Performance-wise this is on par with the Lincoln 225 AC/DC tombstone buzz box or the Harbor Freight Vulcan Commander 225. The Thunderbolt has a snappy and reliable arc but from the looks of it they've changed their entry level stick welder and this is a discontinued design. Having used the three machines mentioned for stick welding I would rate the Lincoln slightly ahead of the Miller and the Vulcan last. If you see a Thunderbolt in good working condition for around $400-$500 I'd grab it. Anybody else welding their way through the pandemic?

Nothing so far. This is every bit as bad as I remember. Living in a very small town combined with a major pandemic probably isn't helping.... Started off with Tinder but it hasn't been the oasis of tramps with low self esteem I was hoping for. Over 10 years ago when I last tried this online crap I don't remember having to screen for trannies....man, there sure are a lot of them out there now and they're better looking than most of the women. 🤣 I'm also working POF. There are more women on there but progress is slow. I've had a couple big uns' tug the line and although I'd almost fuck dirt at this point , apparently I still have some remnants of standards. That won't last. Meanwhile, the profiles all start looking the same : "No games. Are there any real guys out there? My ( 2, 3, 6, 156 kids) are the most important thing to me. NOT looking to hook up. NO FWB. It's so hard to write about myself. Just ask. No fakes. Friends first. My pictures are 10 years old & I 'm 30lbs heavier now but imma let you figure that out. I'm a diva and I don't need a man. Fuck you. Pay me.". I'll try to have better news soon...

Army buddy sent this 🤣

edibles. 🤘

Bro, do you even fat chick? 🤘

All right I’m going hoggin on Tinder, not a whole Lotta options where I am but... a couple of DD or better Eaters on the radar, fuck yeah I’m totally down. I don’t need Clemson for the first game of the season... perfectly content to schedule some DII & just pick up some W’s.

I have lingo questions. untuckit? She has a dick? Smoke show super gash.... she has an enormous vagina or The notion of her having a vagina is a smoke show? fuck I am so confused.

Not having sex for several months hasn’t turned me gay. Yet.

Alright so..... I've used this thread as a platform to complain about NOT getting laid but with the collection of glorious f'n bastards on teh surl maybe I can get steered in the direction TO getting laid. I'm 45. I don't know where the time went either. I realized today that I have not actually dated in about 13-14 years. I went from one long term relationship to the next with women whom I met through mutual friends. When I was in my early 30's my range was absolutely golden ; I could date down into the 20's and as high as the mid 40's. Nowadays I'm putting the cap on the early 50's and probably low 30's so I've probably lost some ground. Back then I was working farm and ranch and being isolated, had to go the online route. I got laid off of eHarmony, Match, and Plenty of Fish with just a little effort and met some great gals. Also, I set a good policy that when living in a small town I didn't hunt on the reservation unless I meet a unicorn (which never happened). If / when shit goes south, you can't get away from an ex in a small town. Recent events have me moving to a very small town once again and I intend to keep that same policy although I realize that my small pool just got even smaller. I'm thinking I'll probably stick with the mate selection criteria I used back in my 30's assuming it'll still work.. mainly stuff like... does she have low self esteem, daddy issues, or dating for the first time in years after a divorce... and does she have a nice big butt. That tended to work out pretty well the last time. Meanwhile what didn't work the last time was being completely honest. I knew these gals were looking for a life mate but with my crippling self esteem issues, substance abuse, traumatic stress disorders, and the fact that I've never had a relationship last longer than 4 years... it means I knew they were never going to get what they wanted. Meanwhile I was just hoping they were a complete tramp in the sack until they finally figured out I was a waste of time, got angry with me, and pulled the plug. Which is how they just about all ended. The honest truth is I don't want to do that to a woman again and dash her hopes, so I'd rather just be able to come out and let them know that while I'm far from husband material and generally a fucking train wreck, I'm funny and fun to be with as we're flying off the mountain. I don't want to have to mislead or omit to get laid.. it's not fair to the woman. Alright, so.... what am I looking at here? Tinder? That wasn't around the last time and I understand that's geared towards hooking up? Is that for the younger crowd? Plenty of fish was pleasantly trashy but also annoying. Do people still use that? I presume Match is still full of women with 2 kids or a ticking clock looking for a husband? As damaged goods with a few working parts left, where does one go?

Watch till the end 🤣 Hmm... it had captioning that made it even funnier "Get the fuck away!" "F'n kangaroos" but I don't know what happened to them

Joke needs more bicycle horns and lemon cookies

This thread delivers

In the heat of it in a pleading moan... ”Hurrrrrry....before daddy comes home & catches me in your room.”. She was crazy. I mean batshit crazy. Damn I miss her sometimes though.
