Where else could one go to learn all about the sex organs of corn? Why, the USCHO Cafe of course! ;)

Evening from Houstown where it is a balmy 102 right now, before humidity. We're here for the next day atleast, probably longer, waiting for our barges to go to shipyard for tests. It isn't gonna get a whole lot cooler either.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 137: Counting the long summer days

Ok, which one of you USCHOers from Michigan is stealing the "* hockey" bit?!

(586):
I would literally rather jam a rusty rail road spike into my [rooster] than be here right now. The whore showed up and now I might smash my iPhone into my face repeatedly until I'm no longer consisting of any sort of life.


And LWB: if you plan on working and/or living in ROGERS, you should learn to spell ROGERS right. Just sayin'. ;)

Major league downer today, found out my daughter's left ear has taken a significant turn for the worse. :( Retest next week and hoping/praying it's not a permanent and the medication (steriods) stimulate the nerves back into action. 50-50 according to the doc.

As someone who has abused his hearing over the years, not being able to hear sucks, Hopefully the treatment works

Noted. I don't want that job. It is only part-time and I don't want to live there. I really want the job in Rosemount. :)

I grew up in Apple Valley, attending Rosemount High. That town has changed a lot from the time I was in school to today. It used to be three Irish themed bars all clumped together, the McD's, DQ and Pizza Hut a little down the way, and a couple auto repair shops down by the Irish bars. Go figure. "Downtown" Rosemount was pretty much the intersection of Hgwy 3 and 145th St. It used to be a lot of farmland all through the town. Now it's pretty much in the SE corner of the city and out near the then Koch Refinery.

Well, the interview went well I think. And they took me out to lunch after it was over! I had a few brilliant answers and a few not so brilliant. Now the waiting game.

GE: also as someone who has abused his hearing (I can't count how many times I've been disoriented after walking out of a 1st Ave concert, and have had an ear infection or two, and sometimes have tinnitis), thoughts and prayers for her. It's horrid.

And LWB: If you find the right "outside the city limits" area, living can be really cheap, and very profitable in the future, if you want to move/sell.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 137: Counting the long summer days

I've never worn hearing protection around the farm, including loud stuff like the blower, open cab tractors and dryers. I luckily don't have any hearing damage from it. I wear the earmuffs when I work in the test cells or with any other engine at work.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 137: Counting the long summer days

I am incredibly lucky that I didn't damage my hearing from drumline in high school. Banging marching drums in high school gyms is a recipe for disaster. Most wore earplugs, I didn't.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 137: Counting the long summer days

Thanks all, been a tough day for the lass. Doctor suspects her loss is due to genetic bad luck. :(

I've only noticed it in the past few years (maybe starting when I was 31-32ish). Most of the concerts I went to were when I was in my early to mid-20's. And the last few is when I noticed that even security wore earplugs.

I bet even now, given my work, white noise (so to speak) will accelerate that hearing loss (conveyors, power machinery aka forklifts and the like, etc).
