I'm a utility electrician. Got in without having friends or family in the trade or knowing someone. Make six figures with as much overtime as I want...

So .... any Joe news?

[Snakeeyesisposh]

To be honest, there's almost nothing for Joe news.
Only reason we can slightly get away with this tangent
for now.


Most likely thing to come out will be some nice pics once
stuff starts being delivered.

Yeah, those sound like excellent picks.

Wish when I was young someone told me to try for those
instead of wandering into elevator maintenance.

Maintenance staff in factories can make 6 figures with overtime depending on their level. I did that for a few years but wasn't making 6, knew others who did.

Which is why manufacturing should stay overseas. It's too expensive to do here without prices going through the roof. Companies could only compete with Chinese products by making their own in China.

I wonder how much Classifieds would be if Hasbro brought manufacturing back to the US.

Amazon Canada had a couple deals on Classified. I was torn on the Grid Iron throne. It is a thing of beauty and would fit into my display nicely; however the difference between shipping and exchange is crazy. Shipping just in Canada is crazy. Our Canada Post, mail system, is likely headed for another strike (less than 6 months after the last one).

Anyways, $160 CAD for throne delivery, if I do not get import fees on top.

Instead, I got retro Stalker, and Doc, plus 2 retro Eels for $105 CAD delivered.

Already have both Doc and Stalker however enjoy both and gonna do some head swaps. Plus I want more berets!

I was holding off on anything water related however not likely gonna get a better deal on a couple Eels than this.

Hey folks.

Two weeks 'til YJJ, so here's something to get y'all on track: If you had to pick only one early team member to be revealed for the first time in June, who would your pick be? I'm defining "early" in a purely arbitrary fashion to include any figure not already *officially* announced from the '82 through '85 rosters.

Mine is Silver Pads Grand Slam with JUMP Station.

Ace. The last of the Class of '83 and because we'll never get our SkyStriker.
