Ah, these old clips are fun to watch. They wouldn't be the same without the orchestra music.
These short movies sure instilled a lot of pride in things that were produced here in the good ol' US of A.

 
Well, you can't leave em out in the room under the pad with your spent blades. 😁

Carpet layers trademark! I’ll be honest, I left a few blades underneath the pad. Not all the time, but every once in a while I would purposely slip one underneath the pad. All the other times I had a Gatorade bottle that all the blades got picked up and disposed of in. Screw the cap on and in the dumpster she goes on your way out.

Probably the only reason I'd travel to the East Coast.
(I'm not a social person where highways are 3 or 4 lanes wide in either direction 😁)
This would be quite something to wake up to..... Go to bed to....
I actually don't think I'd be able to go to sleep.
Pretty darn neat if the weather was decent.
....1 to 3 ft seas and a full moon.
😂 Oh yeah, that happens one day, every two centuries like clockwork. 🤣

Last night while we were out for Veterans Day dinner the price of gas went up 30 cents. Happy Veterans Day to us, fuck them.
That was nasty of them. We dropped a little once more.
$3.10 at the cheap gas place.
It's been 4 years and 7 days since it was this cheap. 😉

Thank you for your service young man. 🇺🇸

I'm glad it only did this for 45 seconds.
It did this about 2 1/2 or hours ago. I drove to the warehouse to pre-cut some pad and tackstrip for Fridays job. It's 3 miles away.
My brother asked for a ride to the market. It's 2 miles away and he walks there on a fairly regular basis for exercise and pick up an occasional can of chew. The weather was good, but up and down the coast all day, there has been a lot of lightning. We've been spared.
I dropped him off at the market the went straight to the warehouse. Chatted for 5 minutes then started cutting tackstrip to length.
One of the large roll-up doors at the warehouse has those long hanging, clear plastic "vertical blind" thingys to slow the wind and keep parking lot heat out or the light rain out.
Anyway it suddenly became noticeably darker, then my lightning app sent a notification of lightning within 25 miles.
I walked to the big door and the sky opened up.
I went straight to the truck to go save my brother before he drownded 😁
It was raining so hard and so windy, I almost couldn't see across the three lane highway in town going across it.
I called my brother because I didn't see him along the way. He answered the phone and I asked him where he was hiding.
He said he just got home and his boots were soaked...... He said not from walking in water, just from the wind driven rain. He said the water coming down the road leading up to the house was an inch deep......
......he's my brother ....I tried. 😁
Pretty wild system for these here parts. Whenever it gets nasty like this, it's almost always in the form of showers, rarely lasting for long periods. On my return to the warehouse, the sun almost reared it's head.
Interesting weather front.

In the pre-fab yesteryear, I would sometimes pre-cut the tackless for the boys and roll it up in the pre-cut ( width only ) stair pad….. they loved it so much, but like you said Daris, not necessary or the norm.

Hey ! I wonder how Nate , Raulan, Guitar playing ( ? ) and Montana ( ? ) guys are doing….. R they on another site ?
