today im am having this done. i am pretty nervous about it but everyone i know who has had it says dont worry about it. i will be missing the first big weekend of work while i recupperate. the nice thing is ill be able to see the playoffs. i should be back to work on monday.



here is something that bugs me and my friends. 911 sucked. alot of people died for no reason. alot of police and fireman died. they deserve their respect and accolades for going into something that they may have known they wouldnt come out of. their is another group of people who were there after the collapse that worked tirelessly, round the clock to help save any lives or recover bodies.


the ironworkers. these guys shut down the jobs they were on to go help out a major disaster area. my partner at unlv worked ground zero. he said it was the worst job he has ever been on. these guys should get recognition maybe in the form of a documentary or something where the general public knows about them. it drives me nuts how people are all over firemen and police but not the ironworkers. there was a point where they just had to watch because they didnt know what to do with the mangled mess and how to start moving it to rescue or recover bodies. there are some authors, glen stout, charlie vitchers, and robert gray who wrote a book "nine months at ground zero". how many of you have heard of this book? they give credit to the construction workers who helped out. maybe im not making sense. to be a true ironworker comes from inside. knowing all the traditions. keeping up what previous generations fought hard to get. putting grease on the handles of the carpenters gangboxes. putting chalk on the lid of the carpenters print shack so when their boss closes it he gets red chalk all over him. those are the fun things to pass down. anyway.

who's ready for spring?
