This is both genius and stupid

I swear this thing wasn’t designed to be a trailer. It sways like crazy, it nearly tips over on every bump, and nothing to keep you from ramming it at night.

I like backyard engineering as much as the next weirdo, but no way.

Are those red and white circles on the back not reflective?

I thought you were talking about your Smart for a moment. Not making fun, just the way it read since you just got a new one.

Pretty sure those tires are rated for like 10mph too.

The red one was just a sticker, the white one appears to be reflective

Towable stump grinders are nothing new, but I wouldn’t want to see that thing on a highway. Hopefully they keep it on local roads. It’s probably rated for low speeds only, as Berang suggested.

The stump grinder looks more road worthy than that poor Silverado!

Ah, welcome to my new neighborhood, sis!
(I’m not saying that I see this stuff all the time on Front St., but I do see some pretty dumb stuff over here. lol)

You mean to tell me my new job is in your new neighbourhood? Well shit :)

Yes ma’am! I live in the apartments next to the library! We should make plans sometime. Definitely have a lot to catch up on. :)

Yes we should!!! You’re literally like a mile from work! In fact, for like 7 months I told my mum that I lived in those apartments. I’m pretty much free after 4:30 errry day. :)

omg, you’re a genius! lmfao!
My schedule’s all sorts of messed up, but you should totally text me if you still have my number (or you know, always other forms of messaging. lol).
I’m sure I’ll have 2 nights off available somewhere (because for right now, I’m looking at having tomorrow off, and then having to work the next 5).

I shall do!!! :) Are you still rocking the Walmart gig? If so, you’re definitely much closer now!! Lucky you too, $10 says you’re paying less rent than me and probably have a nicer apartment. :p

Yep. Overnight Backup Customer Service Manager now (but mainly a cashier). My rent is $706/mo, but I split that with my roommate (so it’s really $353/mo). My dad’s with us, as well. Place is much smaller than what I’m used to, but it’s not bad. Could definitely use a higher paying job, though. lol

Oh snap, my rent is that same number...and Miss Tesla is the stay at home sig other so I pay all the bills. You could totally get into the tech sector, the jobs pay pretty well!!! Also, I thiiiiink I still have your number. I recently upgraded my Nexus 5X to a Galaxy S7 and didn’t transfer any numbers...but I think I wrote down the numbers from the Nexus...it’s somewhere lol

I would love to get into the tech sector, but unfortunately, I would still need to be retrained (and actually get my A+ certification). It’s been a plan, but right now, it’s on the back burner. Have to get all of my financials in check, before I can drop the x amount of money on certs. A few coworkers have suggested I try out factory work, since we have a few factories out here (starting at like $14/hr for the easiest positions + holidays/weekends off), but I don’t know how that would effect my health. I’ve also been looking at moving up the ladder, but I need time to actually knock out my assessments so I can be considered eligible for that kind of promotion.

And if you do have my number, cool. If not, I’ll just hit you up on the good ole FB. lol

Oh yeah, I totally understand that. I somehow landed myself at a super good place (I won’t publicly out the company, but I will say we do college textbooks and software systems for K-12 and colleges) that I’m probably going to stay at for a long while. I’m glad I’m here though, because ITT ruined the last two years of me trying to get a good degree.

You could also try Costco if you can find one close enough, their cashiers usually start at $15.

I’ll most likely hit you up on FB lol, I have no idea where my phone number sheet is!
