I still remember how to weld!

exnailpounder · Tue Aug 04, 2015 7:30 am

Hey Guys!! I actually got a day off and sat down to see if I could still weld! I have been totally consumed with rehabbing my rental property so I can sell it and haven't touched my welders in a couple months so I sat down Saturday with the TIG and I can still pull it off! I have turned away alot of repair work to be able to concentrate on the total rehab of this property. Its amazing how much damage renters who don't give a shit, can do to a house. Anyway, I can't wait to get back to my first love, weld/fab now that I have the time. I have had people begging me to fix their lawn tractors and such, they are telling me there is no one around other than me that does repair work any more....NOW they appreciate me..lol.

Thanks for the concern Anders! I basically lived in the property as I worked on it so I was out of touch with everyone for awhile. I can't wait to get back in my shop and get that damned nightmare house sold. I have about 400 emails in my inbox so maybe yours is in there. Gonna take off on the bike next week and do the Dragons Tail in Deals Gap North Carolina before I get back "in the habit".

Ohhh, we definitely like this!

Be sure to watch out for any big rigs trying to squeeze thru there.

I thought it was like riding a bike. No? Did I get that wrong? <grin>
Welcome back!

Living less than 20 miles from the Dragon, I have local knowledge, ride, and weld. Give me a shout if you like.
The tail is busy weekends. Spent 2 nights at Dragon's Rest in Robbinsville n.c. last week. $75 per night, nice.

I will do that. I don't know what day I am going to leave as I am waiting for my buddy to get back from Sturgis this week. Will definitely message you when I have a plan....thanks!

Corners are my thang! I used to roadrace bikes in my 20s...Gratin Michigan, Elkhart Wisconsin...took the Keith Code superbike school. I had a new rear tire put on my Street Glide this spring and the tire guy said mine was the first tire he ever saw that was as worn on the sides as it was in the middle...if you still have titties on your sidewalls you ain't leaning hard enough!
