Just a couple welders and a couple of big hammers and torches.

Steve,
I think he might qualify for both 1 and 4, graduated and went broke. :)

His mother and I couldn't be more proud of him. I think even with that little hiccup last year he did a great job.

His brother (Hindsight2020) passed his CDL Class A test today also. My first thought was maybe soon they can pay their own cell phone bill. :)

I owe it to his schooling for me finding this forum, he's the one that told me about it while he was in the welding portion of his schooling.

At his graduation ceremony, you MUST:

Deliver a replica of the James Watt "shoot yourself in the foot" award, from the Reagan presidency.

Priceless!

I haven't found it on line, yet, but if I recall it was a golden foot, perhaps with "Mercury" wings, with a big hole in it.

This may have been a Johnny Carson gag. I've slept a LOT since then...

Congrats on finishing school time to make money and buy toys.

Stay away from the baby makers for awhile to enjoy toys and money.
why use standard nozzles after gas lens where invented. Kinda of like starting fires by rubbing sticks together.

Congratulations! I almost remember school. We used rocks as writing utensils and to make welds in shop class we just rubbed the metal together real hard to weld it :D Savor the moment...life sure does go fast.

Sam;
You've misjudged me. I'm very much a douche bag. Congratulations. My younger son will graduate 6 weeks from now. With any luck he'll be self supporting, and I can get on with the business of paying off school loans.

It's not too deep, because I'm incredibly shallow.

I wonder if you could look into working in Australia, on the v8 supercars. Think NASCAR with corners and no banking.
