It's what's wrong with America. Maybe the Government can fix it.
ROTFLMAO

Is it against the law for you to remove the tank yourself?

yep.
has to be someone authorized, and there are inspections. I thought it's a good tank in good shape since it's indoors. But no, they have to cut it apart. First they open it up, then empty it, then wipe it completely down., absolutely clean. then cut it all apart.
 
This is just a funny ish story I remembered:

I had a big Oak that I wanted removed. I found a local arborist through a friend. They come over, and they’re looking the tree up and down. The guy goes and gets his clipboard from the truck. I’m talking to the gal, and watching him walk all around the tree, “taking notes” on his clipboard. After 5 minutes or so, he walks over sort of nervous like. He says he has my quote. So he hands me the clipboard and literally the only thing written down is a price. Lmao!

They did a great job, and had it all gone in 8 hours. Gave me a reference for a grinder to get rid of the stump. Anyhow, it all worked out great. But I guess he must have spent all that time just trying to get his pen to write $2200.00 at the bottom of a contract. Ha!

Sorry I wandered completely off topic. Wish I hadn’t gotten rid of that tree though.

Drama...
 
Something is seriously wrong with them.

A friend of mine has three boys. One asked me to show him how to use a pressure washer. When we were done, I told them to coil the hose up. They could not coil it to save their lives. They could not figure it out. I had to do it.

The only muscles they have are in their thumbs, from using tablets and phones.

I blame a lot of it on the erosion of the education system.
The continuous dumbing down of the syllabus over the years when I was teaching was appalling.

I taught physics labs at a university. A kid told me he got a 1430 on the SAT. I was amazed, because he wasn't that smart.

Turns out his 1430 was totally different from the old 1430's, because they lowered the bar so much. A cat can break 1300 now.
 
Has anyone had the doctors office answer the phone with a human lately? I have a knee problem I'm trying to get fixed and some communications about insurance needs to get done. Nobody ever (really) answers the phone. You have to leave a message and hopefully they will call back, but it will probably be sometime tomorrow. But don't miss the call, or it will be the next day. I wish I could don my tool belt and announce at the office "I'm here to repair the ringer on the phone"
