This has been me for the past 4 paychecks (get paid bi-weekly). Get paid then immediately dump all of it, and then some, into car payment. Bank account is getting smaller and smaller

Pipeline digs are really similar, you show up before the excavation or hydrovac crew, do 10 minutes of work, spray paint an x where they need to dig, wait 4 hours, tell them they need to expose more pipe, wait another 2 hours, work for 1.5-2 hours, depending on the condition of the pipe (always pretty good in my experience, have never seen a severely corroded or pitted pipeline), pack up, go home then not go into the office the next day while you do the paperwork from the dig.

Do you realize you could be replaced with a drone equipped with a spray can and camera ........

False, I have nothing to do with coating pipes. The stuff we do is far more hands on than applying yellow jacket to pipelines. We take a lot of very specific measurements. Our ultra sonic pipe wall thickness gauge has a calibration block that costs 5k!!!! That's how precise our equipment is.

So, I've had a couple of beers, I'm not far gone at all, just a little buzzed. In the past I've had problems with loneliness while drinking, not often, just occasionally. Tonight I am not having that problem. Tonight it's different. Is there a word for a desire to bone? I know the obvious one.

Sounds thick enough.

You feel like a dog man and are looking for a dog woman to help you bury your bone.

Ok, a rover.

Happy weekend, bitches.

Anyone know where I can get the original JDM factory paint? Where do I get a couple gallons of the same shit they dip the cars in?

You can't unless somebody stole some and black markets it. Don't think (don't know either) that these cars are dipped. Way too thin a film for a dip. Probably an electrostatic mist. The last tech journal I read on the new paint systems (yes I read those) said Japan was lagging behind in getting the new systems that can deal with the reduced VOCs in place. Most US manufacturers are almost done though. Even if you could get some there is no way you could apply it properly anyway.

Oh, my, sorry I wasn't clear ...... the GPS guided drone marks the spot to dig with the spray can; a timer and microphone on the drone says "dig deeper - expose more pipe"; the drone signals @Ultramaroon 's rover and it uses it ultrasonic sensor to measure the pipe thickness; data is transmitted back to the office for instant analysis and generates a plan that is electronically sent to the site foreman. Materials are automatically ordered and shipped to the site via an Amazon drone. Foreman and crew complete the job.

Now, tell me again where you are going to fit in ??........

Unless the flying drone can use a voltmeter to measure the electricity on the pipe (before it's been dug up) it's going to have a tough time finding out where the dig is supposed to be

2 gallons ..........

That's enough to paint 50 FR-S cars ........

Aren't they just baked? I'll electrostaticize the shit out of it.

Is it? Ok, a pint.
