Just a Plumber and Pipe fitter, have dome some homes, high risers,
water treatment plats and one shit plant and that was the last shit plant I
will touch on my life, I never tough a drop of crap but the smell is the
worst for miles around and for gun money I do side work on private
residences, not cheap but good I will say at list that’s what people tell me.

Hello

I'm an inspector. I inspect boilers and pressure-vessels in refineries and petro-chem plants.
Hey, here in Houston there are two rules:

1) Work in Refineries or Chemical plants, and;
2) Own a bunch of sinister firearms.

I do my best to be a good Houstonian.

I think I'd rather do Crow's gig, sounds like a lot more fun.

respectfully posted,
guido2 in Houston

Man you grand Daddy was and old timer, they used to do plumbing like
it supposed to be done, I learn the trade with a man like that, suffer as and apprentice
a lot but learn a lot that a lot of guys don’t even know how to do these days, today
a lot of plumbing have become a monkey can do it, but still some stuff
you come around some times that if you don’t learn it from and old timer
no way can be done especially in those old houses, plus tips and tricks
that makes life a lot easier.

Former cop (many years back), former pastor (even more years back), US Army (not retired - just 15 years in uniform), instructor for a community college (1 year as purchasing agent {'Einkauefer' in German as it was at their European campus] and 4 years teaching soldiers military small arms maintenance on anything and everything from 38 and 9 mm handguns through machine guns and on up to 90 mm recoilless rifles and 4.2" mortars -- great job to have!).

Currently going on 16 years (various positions) with an even bigger discount store...

BTW, the handle 'Aethelbert' is closely related to the avatar (which is just me in 10th-century Saxon tribal clothing) is Saxon (olde English) meaning 'Noble (or Princely) Sword'. Ah! The trivia one learns here!

Ha haha, Blender, you and Cobra are funny dudes.

I get the same reaction when I tell most folks what I do, big double takes and. "What did he just say?!!" Hahahahaaa. Most folks have no idea we even exist. When I tell 'em what we actually do they get green in the face. The most common reaction is, "You must not be afraid of heights." I don't what would make them think that, I'm terrified most of the time, I think that is big part of why I do it. Been at it for a long time, in and out of civilian life. wink.gif

Yeah my coworkers know (just not any details wink.gif ) and ask me all the gun and military rank questions. Sometimes they don't and end up reporting things like "the man returned to the card game and shot the victim in the chest with a 38mm handgun, he was found dead at the scene upon police arrival," or when they report on a solder being a "Specialist First Class," etc, I just laugh and go on.

As far as Gilberts goes, they have alot of Saigas in stock and more S12s on the way. I've seen several names of people on here as purchasers biggrin.gif Also heard last week that they'd be getting some of the Siaga 20s (only 80 due in this year nationwide), that some of the rifles will be in a VEPR style stock, and that VEPR Rifles are indeed in the country but must receive their import stamps before ATF will let them go. Of course I'll let you guys know as soon as Gilberts gets anything new in.
