Buttwipes STILL Require a Degree, cannot bend the rules for ANY reason so languish and I made certain to note that of our last contact.

DMiller, with all due respect, the administrators are (usually) a bunch of pompous over-educated idiots......Those students however, NEED someone with your skills to teach them. Please reconsider.
Those that can, DO
Those that can't, TEACH
Those that can't teach, ADMINISTRATE

2.5 hour drive to this job site, tomorrow is Friday, and the closest place to the jobsite that is capable of building a hose................providing that's what it is...........is 1.5 hours away from the jobsite in a different direction.
Looks like one of those 12-14 hour days again.
And if the trade schools around there are like they have been here for over 50 years the kids the local school districts want to send there are the kids that are causing trouble and they use the trade schools as a dumping ground.
I know this from both sides of the problem.
When I was in 10 grade they were starting a trade school in the county and I tried to get assigned to go there. I was told by guidance councilor that I was to smart for that school. About three years after graduating with a more or less useless degree from High School I dropped out of Community College when I got the chance to work as a mechanics helper at the quarry where dad had worked for years. That job only lasted 45 years and I was the only mechanic there when I retired.
On the other hand my older brother who spent around 20 years in Air Force and while in there got his Masters Degree came out and taught math and science for a few years then moved in to assistant principal at the trade school not far from the one I was refused admission to. And sure enough something like 30+ years after I ran into that attitude he had to deal with the same thing from the local high schools.
And this was even after all the advances in technology for cars and heavy equipment! Maybe back in the mid to late 1960's one could get by with out much training or knowledge of the fine points. But things had gotten much more high tech in those years. One of his favorite things when to ask when some high school administrator or guidance counselor wanted to "dump" some reject into one of the trades classes would be to ask them if they really wanted that drug addict good for nothing kid working on their wife's or kid's cars brakes or steering? Hate to say it but most of the time that just got the "deer in the headlights stare" from them as they just could not see the point he was making!
The biggest problem most have is not taking the time to clean the tip. It takes about 10 seconds.
Bahahaha!!!Flex tape
I like cutting heavy plate. The biggest issue is keeping the torch square to the plate. If your torch angle is off just a degree. Your plate is off even more the thicker it is.This guy had some tricked torches. He even admitted they were custom for burning heavy plate.

Just this one small blow in the hose, inside the abrasion cover with no abrasions, cracks, stretches or bends.
