Hey everyone.

[Aaron91]

Hey everyone, I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving, and a relaxed one at that. I haven't been on in awhile due to work and a side job. I'm glad to be back.

It's been a huge responsibility and learning experience running my own truck lately. I guess I've done well cause they've upgraded me from an older small dodge van to this:

It's a 2004 Freight Liner 3500 Dually. I've riden in several different Sprinters before, and by far the Dually handles the best.

You can't really tell too much from this picture, but I try and keep it really shined up.

I recently just got this too: :D

:D Just thought I'd shared this with everyone.

Have a good one.

Congratulations there,

[ToUtahNow]

Aaron,

Good job I am glad to see you stuck with it. You will never regret making the effort of going back for it. Now go out there and become the plumber we all know you can be.

Congratz Aaron! I'm proud of you. Looks like you are really heading in the right direction. Looks like you took good advice and applied it well.

Good to have you back,

Josh

[Woussko]

Aaron, Way to go. You did yourself one huge favor getting your diploma. Nice truck too.

[plumberscrack]

Awww...look everyone, our son is all grown up :bravo:

Was starting to wonder what happened to you. Seems we lost a couple of other local guys lately :shrug:

Nice looking truck, Im jealous

Bossman doesn't mind you side jobbing? :scratchhead:

[mrs. westcoast]

Congratulations Aaron,

We wish you all the best in acheiving your future dreams.

You go girl!!:)

[Aaron91]

Thanks everyone.

Plumberscrack,

I know it's a real nice truck. Soon as I finish cleaning/stocking the inside of the truck I'll take some pictures of that too.

I'm not sure if he does or doesn't. I use my own vehicles/parts/tools to complete the jobs. They are not his customers, so I'm not stealing any work. They are all people who I have worked for to gain their business.

[Drain Medic]

Congrats Aaron...great job...the van looks good too...keep up the good work

[oldslowchevy]

arron way to go man, i now know you have had atleast two things to be very very greatful for and i bet that diploma will last years longer than that van.

arron please keep up the good work!

[yasudaplumbing]

Con-Graduations Aaron. Nice Van too.

On a side note, how do you you guys post such huge photos? (directed to anyone)
I tried to upload the direct link from my "photobucket album image", but it keeps saying that my file is too big. The photo sizes are about 156kb.

[Tyman]

Congratulations on the diploma and working on your own with a new van. Working by yourself is a huge responsibility not to be taken lightly. Your boss must trust you and your work.

I have always thought the Sprinter was the perfect plumbers van. Let us know what you like and dislike.

I have always been impressed with your willingness to learn and posting pics of your work for critique.

[bigPipe09]

nice work aaron....and nice signature by the president of the state education commitee....looks like a 3 year old's signature

[gear junkie]

Aaron you're doing awsome in life. Congrats on the van and your diploma. Why do I hear the theme song to the Mary Tyler Moore show running through my head right now?

Who can turn the world on with her smile?
Who can take a nothing day, and suddenly make it all seem worthwhile?
Well it's you girl, and you should know it
With each glance and every little movement you show it

Love is all around, no need to waste it
You can have a town, why don't you take it
You're gonna make it after all
You're gonna make it after all


How will you make it on your own?
This world is awfully big, girl this time you're all alone
But it's time you started living
It's time you let someone else do some giving

Love is all around, no need to waste it
You can have a town, why don't you take it
You're gonna make it after all
You're gonna make it after all



You are scaring me..............:speechless:

Do ya have the "Laverne & Shirley" lyrics on hand also?

Hopin' the music never ends.

Aaron, outstanding and standing out!
If you passed the diploma it tells me something.
We had a thread months ago where I'd asserted you might be afraid of learning/school work.
Maybe not after all.
You passed a test that I assume has algebra, geometry and other topics as a prerequisite to pass, which says the contrary.
You remind me of me at your age, I made a few mistakes then that I wish I could go back and undo.
Thats where the line is drawn, you picked a direction, unlike me at your age.
You're commitment to the trade is sealed, you're here to stay.
If there's anything I can do to help, simply ask.

[drtyhands]

It's all meant in good humor Woussko,noboby is making fun of Aaron,only the songs themselves.

Sometimes I wonder about you guys.Way too sensative.

Toughen up a little bit.

Aaron ,your are doing extremely well.You took the advice of others and got your diploma.You won't regret it.

Proud to say I know of you and your accomplishments.

Mind if I use you as an example at my next motivation seminar:D

Congratulations.

[MrsSeatDown]

Aaron, I was just thinking about you the other day and wondering if you got your GED.

CONGRATS!!!:dance::party-on::way-to-go:

[Bob D.]

Congrats Aaron on getting your diploma and the new truck!

Your dedication and determination is paying off, keep at it and you'll go far.

Just WHAT is that supposed to mean?!?!?
You talkin' to me?!?!?

[Aaron91]

Thanks everyone for the kind words.

Tracy- I go to www.imageshack.com. I then go to upload and if I want to show detail(like in these pictures) I choose the 1024x768 17" Monitor Option.

I then use the bottom link, the direct link option, copy it, and then come back to the Ridgid forum and click the picture of the mountain, back space the http stuff, and paste the link from image shack.

I hope this helps ya out, if not, just send me a pm.

Tyman- I don't really like Sprinters that much to be honest with you. As I stated before, the Dually Sprinter handles much better then the standard 4 wheeled truck. The whole rear of the truck has custom made shelves and cabinet's which are nice. I'll try and post picture's soon as I clean that all up as well.

But I don't like that the truck has no power what so ever. You might as well just forget about pulling anything with this truck. Even a air compressor and U cart of concrete are pushing it in my opinion. Too weak/cheaply built of a truck if you ask me.

Duck- Thanks your words mean alot to me.

Dirty- Go ahead. I try and spread the word of what hard work and determination will get you to other teenagers, but it goes in one ear and out the other. It feels good being a positive impact on society.

Aaron, I was just thinking about you the other day and wondering if you got your GED.

Congrats on the HS diploma. I started in plumbing right out of school as well, had some "issues" with burning weeds for pleasure. 2276

That was before the career move as plumbing is a thinking game from the go.

It feels good to have feathers in your cap at a early age; one less hurdle to cross when you get older.

There are a few things I wish I would of gotten sooner but that's water under the bridge now. That's the first dually I've seen in that bodystyle.

I bet you can hang curves twice the speed now....nevermind the stuff flying off the shelves...:D

[plumbdog10]

Congs. on the diploma. Now locate the local community college and enroll in n evening class.
