Ouch is right. Hope you're getting hazard pay on that side job.

I haven't given them a price yet. Doesn't hurt too bad with the burn cream and the Tylenol but I'm still trying to stay off my feet.

Drove to the auto body supply shop this morning to buy a bunch of stuff- MIG gas, wire, tips, weld thru primer, whatever else... and apparently they are now closed on Saturdays thanks to covid. So now I'm waiting til Monday. Fahk.

With Dr. Rich.. I mean Rachel Levine guiding us, I couldn't possibly feel safer 🙄

I appreciate that, although it's in a lot more than 2 pieces 🤣 I'm jealous that you've actually driven yours!

I got back to the body supply shop this morning. Got an 80 cu ft bottle, weld thru primer, small spool of .023 mig wire, and contact tips. Enough to get me going. Its really hot and humid out so I don't know what I'll get done today but I'm gonna try to play with the settings and set up the machine to where I like it.

I guess I gotta take those HF jack stands back and find a suitable replacement.

I bought a set of 6 ton stands from menards for $50 more than HF. Look sturdy enough. Roughly the sameheight. Haven't used them yet tho. Was in a pinch and needed them. As expected, local HF stores are all out of the 6 ton stands.
