    I wonder if there's a correlation to cold weather and welder sales to people who have never done it?

    Only if you buy the long-day KIT.
    Welcome. While visiting our fine country and taking tax-free advantage of our welfare state so that you can send money back to your home country who's government has realized it is easier to get this influx of US dollars than to improve their own economy, Brian would prefer that you try to learn the language. I agree.

    Something about using a rosebud makes my 20 degree garage comfortable in a t-shirt and jeans. I haven't quite figured out what though....

    Oh yeah, it's that 4000 degree flame.

    Better be careful, in feb they short your deadlines by 2 days.

    Then you'll almost pay sale price and it will consume all your energy being mad about not getting the long day kit through their store new for $50 more.

    Howdy Howdy! we are 3 guys out, in a 5 man shop. (field guys, for an electrical contractor). I think these year round 48-65 hr weeks are getting to us. Can't hold down anything. Think I've lost 10 lbs this holiday season...quite a reversal. Don't come to the NW, cause it's going around. Brian Lee Sparkeee24.

    I've got a stomach bug going too. Can't spend a day in bed though, too much stuff to do. It also doesn't help that I'm being santa for my sister and making her furniture - not the usual "customer satisfaction" project - I'll be living with seeing some of this stuff for the rest of my life. lol
