Of course you pay something. Entertainment at the very least.
Now before I killfile nym #893 and 894..and force you to find a couple
of others so you will have do it yourself sock puppets...lets look at
the realities of life, shall we?
1. Yes, I charge $75/hr for service work
2. I also add $25/hr travel time, out and back to my base
3. I also add .55/mile for the same, portal to portal.
Lets look at a typical service call shall we? Humm...XYZ
Manufacturing for a good example.
I start out from Ontario, California..and I drive 64 miles down to
Costa Mesa. It takes me on a good day..1.5 hour each way. Thats 128
miles round trip and 3 hours travel...= $75 travel and $70.40 milege.
Or...$145.40 just getting there and coming back.
Now I get there, I unscrew the unscrutable and fix the framous on the
Winkel Box. Takes me 45 minutes, what with the glad handing, talking
about how their production has been, checking out another problem on a
totally unrelated machine and whatnot. I charge a Minimum 1 Hr. Thats
$75.
Now when we add the $145.40 to the $75...we get $220.40 and thats how
we write up the invoice. Generally they cut me a check for that
amount..we say See Ya Later..and I leave. So far..for the week..Ive
earned $220.40. Got that..I know its difficult for you to
comprehend..but try really hard. Put your Thinking Cap on (yeah..the
dirty diaper thingy over there in the corner)
Now there are a few other things in that equation that arent totally
apparent. I didnt start out from Ontario..I started out 145 miles
NORTH of Ontario..in Taft. But the clients wont pay for me to come
from Taft. So lets look at the total number...thats 290 miles just to
get to Ontario..and go home from Ontario. Thats unreembursed. I eat
it like a big dog. It costs me about $54 to drive that 290 miles. So
that has to come out of the first service call I make each week.
$220.40- 54.00 = $166.40 is my gross for that service call.
If thats the only service call I make that week..and since 2010..I had
weeks that I didnt even make that much. I had 2-3 week periods where
nobody called for service. Lots of clients simply went out of
business in those years. 38 of them..some of my best
clients..phuttt...gone..empty buildings. Sign on the door.."Out of
Business"
Yet my rate for service hadnt changed. A single service call for the
entire month..to the XYZ Manufacturing local..earned me $166.40 for
the month. Some months were better..some were about like that. I
grossed $27k in 2016. That was a "good year" compared to the 7 before
it.
Btw..when i come down...I hang around So Cal, visited clients, gave
them encouragement, checked on their welfare, etc etc...on that
$166.40 Id earned. All that driving around usually came to about
$25-40 each week I was down..just looking for service work to do. So
I was bringing home $141.40 for the week. Yet my service rate never
changed.
Fortunately...I had some months where Id make a couple grand,
buying/selling machinery/service calls/programming and so forth. So I
averaged about $2200 a month. Thats $550 a week. Taking out my
unreimbursed travel, fuel, tires, oil changes, clothing and so
forth..brought my gross down to about $415 a week. Thats about
$10/hr in real wages. Yet my service rate never changed. Doing the
millwright work for my buddy in the steel plants got me
$300/day..which helped a lot!
Got that squared away in that vacous puddle inside your skull? Good
boy! Have a Cookie!!
You do remember that last October/November...ALL...ALL my vehicles
went to shit. EVERYTHING broke down. I was borrowing friends vehicles
to make service calls down south. It was..rough. Lots of worry...no
idea where I was going to get money..no one was buying
anything..everyone was waiting to see if your favorite corrupt cunt
the Hildabeast was gonna be the new president. Dead dead dead..no one
was spending a dime...they were making Lincoln scream like a bitch
holding onto their money.
Came 2017, a new President and most importantly..a whole new economy.
January..little change..Febuary..little change...March...earned a few
unexpected dollars..April/May/June..steady
improvements...July/August/September..a little more improvement...I
was ending up each month with some disposable dollars...so I bought 7
Omniturns as an investment. Got em really...really cheap (VBG).
I put 4 of them to work as rentals. The other 3 are spotted in clients
shops..waiting on parts to put them to work as rentals. They should
be making parts within the next 3 weeks. The other 4 are paying for
the parts I need. When a single MC-2 card costs me $1000
exchange..and I need (2)..Im not going to pull that out of my pocket
without some lead time. The third one needs a X axis
ballscrew...thats $900. Maybe you can shit me $3k? Humm...how will we
ever get it out of the Home and into my parts suppliers hands? Hummm?
ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!
Now I knew you have difficulties with all those zeros (0)..but to save
you some confusion..it means "lots of money". Ok now?
I got the van's registration up to date, engine rebuilt, tags on it,
converted it to a "motor home" and saved $270 a year in registration
fees. Put 4 80% 10 ply Class D tires on it. Been driving it around
town..and more importantly..the wife has been driving it. Did I
mention she spent most of last week in the hospital? She
lived...though it was a close thing, and she now needs a walker. Your
buffoonery is simply amusment to me. Ive go bigger issues to "concern"
me.
I got the Rangers valves replaced, seats, seals and springs..and
found 3 oil rings fractured...not drivable..so Ive been buying parts
and as soon as I get them all..my pet mechanic will rebuild the engine
from the bottom up. We figure it will cost about $300 for mains,
rods, rod bearings and gaskets. I have that much in it with the
cluster fuck the valves and heads turned into. But..Ill have a fresh
engine. Put 5 Good tires under it last month, got a hell of a deal
from a buddy who owns a tire shop. Shrug. Used tires..but only about
1500 miles on em. Guy put em on..then pulled em off and traded them in
to make his Chebby all strack and hip slick and cool. Works for me.
At least I dont have to do the heads again...whew!!
After that..comes the tranny rebuild in the Chevy Venture. Neither my
mechanic nor I have ever rebuilt an automatic transmission. It should
be interesting...shrug.

When my vehicles are squared away..and I have spare vehicles in case
something goes down..Ill start paying off my taxes. It will make the
county really happy. The guy who owns the land...wont be really
happy..because Im seriously considering simply walking away from this
place, as I mentioned. I have a number of options at this point. All
of them legal..many of them unethical as fuck. Yet..ethics is
apparently something only I pay any attention to..least of all some of
the creditors. Did I mention Ive paid off EVERYONE except the
property taxes, the medical bill and 3 back months of land rent? Given
I had NO contract with the land owner..yet he has been charging me for
late rent fees and whatnot that Ive not agreed to...to the point of
$1500 to date..with another $2100 in back rent and late fees... I
could simply tell him to pound sand and walk. Ive been on this land
since 1987...he bought it and 4 other properties 3 yrs ago ..Im the
only one thats not burned to the ground since he bought the lands. I
already warned him that Im not going to be the poor bastard he retires
on. I was dead serious. Let him try to find someone who will pay him
the $65,000 he thinks he can get for the lot...when all the empty lots
around mine..sell for $8k or less. (VBG)
Some history of the neighborhood/area I live in....
http://articles.latimes.com/1991-08-12/news/mn-392_1_south-taft
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Taft,_California
It ultimately was indeed sold to a group of investors from So.
Cal..who unfortunately discovered they had fucked themselves. Shrug.
Taft is a boom or bust type of town..and except for 2012-2014..we have
been in a bust cycle for 30 yrs..and its not getting any better. One
of the few places in California..property values are falling, not
rising. Falling like a rock in fact. Shrug. A lot of local people
bought land in 2012..and have been doing everything that they can...
to get pennies on the dollar back out of it. I kind of like it here.
Its quiet, no serious crime..though now the dumping the homeless here
has become a big business for Bakersfield and LA..and we are going to
have a few killings before long. Shrug..they steal everything not
bolted down. I shot one off the top of one of my sailboats a few
months ago at 3am. Hit him with a Sheridan Blue Streak in .20 and put
that pellet right into the meaty part of his thigh with 5 pumps of
pressure. If Id taken it to the full 10 pumps..I could have shot
through both of his legs and the house next door. Some of the other
locals are getting really..really..really pissed and before long..they
are going to kill one or more of these scum when the pot finally
boils. Its a good thing you are stuck in an insane asylum..somone
might add you to the tentative list of scum removals. Count your
blessings.
Now they walk across to the other side of the street when they pass.
Having dogs tends to keep them from climbing over or tearing a hole in
the 8' tall fences around my kennels. Im known as "that motherfucker
who carries a gun everywhere and can shoot you in the dark". Which
works for me. Keeps them out of my shit. And yeah..I have bought some
of the surrounding lots for pocket change. Land contract and all that.
Thats why I can keep my sailboats on empty land and no one will say
shit to me. Maybe Ill give you some phone numbers..maybe...or I might
let you spasm and twitch..just like I have with Moby Dick..the big
white van. (Grin)

Ive put 197 miles on it so far. I did have to have it smogged (6)
times however. Found a bad PVC valve, bad EGR valve and postitioner,
the O2 sensor was "random" and several of the hoses were in the wrong
places. Cost me about $420 to have it smogged that many
times..oh..had to replace both gas caps as well. That was $38 for the
pair..locking gas caps. Its OBD I..and it took a run on a SnapOn
Solus computer analyser to find the random O2 sensor..most of the
time it would be clean as hell..then the sensor would simply 'quit"
and the engine would put out all manner of shit. Drove my mechanic
nuts. That and the sticky EGR valve..not moving the whole travel when
it needed to. Im a bit pissed he missed so much..and it cost me that
much..but..shrug...he did learn from it... finally. Now it runs like a
new vehicle with 13,000 miles on it...which is correct. I barked the
tires accidently yesterday. Which is something for a vehicle that
weighs 9000 lbs and only has a 351W engine in it.
Want me to post the first 5 bad smog reports and the final clean one
where she passed with flying colors? Id be happy as fuck to rub em in
your face.
Now, you piece of shit...what were you saying?
Oh..had a 3rd interview yesterday with the folks who are interested in
hiring me. IF/when I get hired by them..Ill let you know..one way or
another. That way you will look even more stupid than you do at the
moment..which is very stupid indeed. Ill even post the texts and
header data from the various emails Ive received and replied to.
Now Im getting ready to head south and work on a 31,000 ton forging
press. Feel free to roll around biting at yourself in rage and self
pity. Maybe you will be like one of those little brown scorpions and
sting yourself to death.
Laugh laugh laugh laugh laugh laugh laugh!!
You poor retarded bastard...you are not aging well...not at all. No
wonder they keep you away from the public. Its obvious to one and
all..you are one crazy motherfucker and stupid..stupid as fuck. It
shows with each of your posts.
