Shinyribs Found Me On Youtube

[Hellbilly429]

So last night apparently Ribs was lookin for me on youtube, Idk how he came accross this video but I thought I would share it with you guys and see what you thought and give you some insight on my nickname. Btw they spelled my last name wrong....

WARNING- NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART

This is me in '08 at my highschool's holiday gala talent show, please leave your negative comments to yourself unless it is in good fun.

Shiny has way TOO MUCH time on his hands.
TOOLS

[Hellbilly429]

Amen, I asked him if he ever does any work

[shinyribs]

Hold on,correction: I was not looking for HB on you tube,I just happen to stumble across a video that had a familiar name in the title.So I clicked on it. Once I heard his cherub-like singing I realized it had to be the Hellbilly I like ya man,but I'm not stalking you!


Sigh,back to the work thing? You guys have no faith in me.Yes,I've been busy....

One set of zoomies for a chassis car.Pretty straight forward other than the humps for steering shaft clearance.The EGT bungs were time consuming.hate those things


One set of zoomie supports &frame tabs, installed and frame tube repainted

One rearend coupler scatter shield for a front engine dragster


One fuel system plumbed for the same FED. Also,several AL welding jobs on this car...$$$

In the past two weeks I completely emptied one 80 cu ft cylinder of argon thru the tig and am halfway thru another. Not to mention my regular day job,which is more of a part time job lately.Boo. But,here's my personal favorite. I was hanging out at the speed shop (complaining about work being slow)when I guy told me that he heard I work on motorcycles. "Well,not really,but I know a little bit". He had a '06 Yamaha that he thought needed a clutch. He said it slipped when he gassed it hard and it made a loud clicking sound when it slipped. I told him I would look at it.I found this:

I put new sprockets and a chain on for the guy and picked up a few bucks.See? Sometimes you can make money even when you are just hanging out!


Wow,this turned from an American Idol thread to a "Shinyribs defends his work ethic" thread real fast

[Hellbilly429]

Wasn't really questioning your work ethic man, just figured I would drag you out into commenting on my thread

Idk when you sleep honestly... Or where you come up with money to do all of this stuff...

[shinyribs]

You can get all the sleep you need from 3-7. None of that belongs to me. Those are all welding side jobs I have been working on lately. I work on some really nice junk so that I can afford to build my low budget junk

[Lucky 1]

It is hard to believe that the owner of that Yamaha could be that disconnected
about the noise coming from his chain and sprockets.

[shinyribs]

I know! What's even harder to believe is that he is a Serviceman in on leave. I woulda thought they have a little more street sense/common sense than that. But,since he is protecting my freedom,I won't bad mouth the gentleman.

[seestheday]

You should really try again on sleep more dude...
Not sleeping enough is a sure way to die early

[shinyribs]

I set my alarm for 7 am. I often wake up before the clock goes off. Seems 4 hours is about the max amount of sleep I can absorb at one time.

 This thread has just gotten strange.lol. First HB says I never work,than my free time and sleeping habits are being scrutinized. Take it easy fellas! Let's not venture into diet,exercise...etcJust kidding guys.


Back to the original subject:what is that song HB?

[Hellbilly429]

Yes, ahem, thank you shiny for another job well done at hijacking a thread

The name of the song is Vigil by Lamb Of God, one of my all time favorites. I sang that over the old ass loudspeakers our highschool had while playing the cd in the background on some other speakers, so I drowned out the music a tad bit...
