That means I will no longer be able to bust on his welding, now it will be the other way around. :roll: :lol: Great score on the job!

Sorry Aswaze, I meant to quote your post when I added this and I hit edit instead and added it to your post.:oops: Thats one of the problems with being a mod, too many extra buttons.

Ah yes, "the power", I know how that goes. I accidentally do that on the East Wind forums from time to time.

Perfect fit actually.

The original plan was for these two panels to go onto my truck but we wanted to get Curfman welding pretty close to 100% of the time so that he would be able to stand out from the crowd of new guys in his hire group. Work with this guy for a week and you'll want to kill him. Work with him for a month and you would not trade him for anyone in the world. If we make certain that his skills get him past the initial hump, we are certain he will be the best pipe fitter in the city.
