    What I love about that picture is the fact that this little boy's life is going to forever change for the better in just a few seconds. :)

    I might be mistaken, but those might be speakers. Don't quote me on that though.

    The same thing has often been said of the members of Club Polk, from my understanding. :p

    Plumbers are highly skilled and are often well remunerated concomitant to their skills (and, no, I am not being facetious). It stands to reason that, on average, they would embody higher than average levels of intelligence, creativity, and innovation.

    There you go again, spouting off big words for something completely rudimentary such as "plumber".

    I'm not saying plumbing is easy. I'm saying the word "plumber" doesn't need to be described with such elaborate words. :D
    Where’s the KABOOM?!?! There’s supposed to be an Earth shattering KABOOM!!!

    I couldn't agree more! I'm still so thankful to have worked beside Gary for all those years.

    I worked with a Master Plumber, Gary, for 7+ years. I learned SO much from him that for years afterward, I would ask myself in tough situations, "What would Gary do?".

    I learned electrical, plumbing, roofing, automotive knowlege and sheer determination ability to work through most problems.

    Gary grew up working with his dad in NY. His dad was a master plumber.

    And all those years we only had one disagreement on how to proceed on one project. I did as he wanted on that project as did another employee and Gary. I still remember that job well.

    But that's pretty good for a CEO and his right-hand man. Many memories of BS job situations that Gary and I worked through will always be in the back of my mind. He retired in a way to Montana for a spell. He was a rolling stone :/ for a few reasons that's personal to him.
    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

    Renumeration also concomitant with their skills! :smile:

    Funny. My dad always used to say plumbers only needed to know two things.
    1. Ship don't flow uphill
    2. Payday is on Friday.

    I was thinking the same. Maybe he has some sort of upper body/wrist injury that would prevent him from using his arms from sawing. No idea.

    Here's another that doesn't require any thought to process:
