So no sports talk or anything, you sound you would be a blast to ride around with.

I'm calling BS on that.

I bet Darkside is a motor mouth when it comes to telescopes, apocalypse prepping, poetry, knives, the poetry of telescoping knives, etc. He just needs a the tiniest hint of daylight to get started.

I got a new hire I'm teaching the trade to. He's 20. He doesn't know much about the trade. I'm working with a block of clay here. Had him for almost 2 weeks.
Today we were running calls. I had him doing the heavy lifting while I watched him closely.
We finished a call and got sent out to a call about 40 minutes away. He's riding in my truck. So he says "hey so you like answering questions, and are mind of a science guy right? I got a weird one for you."
"OK. Hit me."
"Do you believe in Jesus Christ and in His Resurrection?"

:lol:

I stand for the separation of church and HVAC, and the reason that I stand for that is the same reason that I believe the great Willis Carrier did. It is not there to protect religion from the grasp of HVAC repairmen but to protect HVAC repairmen from the grasp of religious fanaticism. I may be an atheist, but that does not mean I do not go to church. I do go to church. The church I go to is every call from a desperate client needing cool relief on a stifling hot day or warm air on a frigid night. My church is this very chapel of climate control that we sit in together, and I do not need God to tell me what are my moral absolutes. I need my heart, my brain, and this church.

You’re welcome.

I think you can at least tease it out without exercising that authority. A guy that age isn’t asking that type of question because he cares about what you think. He wants to say what he thinks.

Idk, I’m not intentionally being an ass but people so rarely show you who they are - particularly young people. I’ll typically air on the side of giving them room to say what they want.

I got an Audi A4 this week for a rental and there are too damn many gears, paddles, handles and buttons. I need a Deni$ tutor session.

I like Audis.

They are nice, The big problem with Audi now (and most luxury brands) is they created too many models that all look the same. There is no differentiation anymore.

my boys are getting to a size that breaking up the occasional physical confrontation is hazardous to my health

Just got back from putting down our 15 year-old Weimareiner. My wife is the dog person, not me, but I loved that dog. It was time, but damn...this hurt.
