As far as I know you empty a can of wasp killer into a tray, add a conductor, pass electricity through it. Crystals form on the bottom. News stories warn meth addicts to be careful....cause this stuff is really bad for ya....

So you're saying its a shocking buzz???

Shocker
Pretty shocking isn't it

Maybe even a buzz kill!!!

Do you're saying its a shocking buzz???

So is that because you use electricity to make it...or because wasp killer is usually rated in volts?

That's the craziest stuff I've heard. Back in like 2002 I heard stories of meth heads making it out of gun bluing, muratic acid, & match sticks, in a fish tank w/ hanging tee shirts or some crap.
Forget cold medicine. Let's just use deathly chemicals, no problem. Wtf

Sucks when your close to the finish line and these little irritations pop up. Your good, deep breath, no rush.

Thanks Doom and it certainly does!

Especially when you decided you don't want or like something; it's a 1000% harder to finish it.

I had been sitting on it for a bit but I am just trying to get it done. As I said to my wife, "So I can wax it and put it in a box!"

Thank goodness for Testors and the rest of the kit parts. I threw a jack on the roof so there is at least something and hey, it's red!

Lots of room left for someone to customize this bad gurl! I feel so relieved it's completed.

See ya CC-O2 (hopefully)

*EDIT* Still tuning the suspension now that things have changed (bigger tire + weight). Looks like the front needs more preload!

I grow my own meds. Way cheaper on gas.

I'm with ya. It fits in with my rules of no substance that calls my name in the night.

I hate my job lately. I have been in the sheet metal/HVAC//refrigeration industry for about 17 years now and I’m just not thrilled anymore.

I feel like my body is done with work, but my brain keeps telling it to keep going, or we won't have any food or a place to live.

I really don't like people who have the money to retire, but don't because they would be bored. I have so many interests I will never have enough time to persue them all, just not the money to do so.

I'm sure the real reason you don't want to retire is that you'll no longer have an excuse to not finish up the Fox

I feel ya. I have been doing it twenty years this year. I worked for lots of outfits, municipal government, grew and operated my own business and then got into education.

Now that I have stepped back from that, I don't know what to do next.

I feel like HVAC at this point is all I know, well and RC's

I can relate because I am tired of it too but I do not know how to get back to that level of a salary without it.

Have sympathy for them,maybe it'll help shift your perspective?

Most of them, like my Dad have no hobbies, interests and just seem to lack passion for everything.

 

[Xraycer]

I suppose I'm fortunate. After 30 years in the medical xray field, I still enjoy what I do. Growing up with little money, I've always been grateful to earn a paycheck. I suppose it also helps that I've been at my current employment for the past 23 years and I enjoy working there.
Hopefully, I'll keep this outlook until I retire, for another 10 years. I have 3 kids in college right now, so early retirement is just not feasible.

That's how they have enough money to retire.

I feel ya. I've been machining 33 years total. Some days....yeah I'm just tired as crap. Walking on concrete floors that long. Standing up all day.

 

[RudyF6]

I always said I loved my job for 20 years, but I was there for 32!

Yep, concrete floors for 40 years is harsh on the joints. I don't hate what I do (well some days I might), just worried about how much longer I can do it.
