  1. My wife over the years has slowly picked up American slang.

    One day as we going to a customer to deliver a machine, I parked at a trkstp and started to go inside. She asks what are you doing, me I reply going inside to drop a ld. Yep I had to crap

    So I do that and go back to the truck

    She says, we are delivering to customer shy drop load here she asks

    I start laughing no I had to go to use bathroom not pee. Oh drop ld means you had to Ute.. yep. She started laughing

  2. Plus, then when I came back to work, I go in and out of Army bases, got flagged for 6 months because I traveled through China

    Guess they thought I was spying. I asked the people I work for why the hassles lately, my wife clears security easy, but I was having issues. She has a Green card and I am a natural citizen.

    They then ask if I flew through China. Yea why. They then explain. Screw that no more China..

  3. It was just the whole experience. I wanted to change seats for more room as the flight had open seats. Still in the cheap seat area, but no. They say I have to pay more money. Food was crap. Security took my lighter in Shanghai. What can't own a bic lighter in China airport

    Had to change money out in the International zone to buy a coffee.. Seats were not comfy. Yea I got what I paid for..

  4. Kinda like my first trip to Boystown in Mexico. An old buddy took me there. Me kinda fresh off the farm truck driver.

    Was sitting on my lap and getting all cozy

    Me, I went to kiss it. My buddy said m, I wouldn't do that. Huh. Then he said sone things are not what they appear to be. Welcome to Mexico. They laughed then I regained my shock and called my buddy all sorts of names.

    Next bar, now I'm gunn shy

    He then lifts her skirt, yep lady, hello ket me buy you a drink. 555

  5. Metal beams shearing?? Sounds like the wrong type of steel was used

     

    I have been around heavy lifts and move heavy equipment. Any heavy lift I have been around the steel beams were bolted to the lift jacks, not just placed on top. This is in the States...

     

    Slings or cables for lifting were inspected and tags had to be on said units showing lift ratings. No tags not used.

     

    Wish we knew more on this. Sad people lost their lives if some one was in a hurry
