Yeah you and eveyone else. LOL  What part of the STL are ya from?  I got a buddy in St. Louis that can't find any welders experienced enough to weld at his facility and he's been testing them left and right.  What kind of welding do you do?  I know a few welders in STL that might go where the money is right. We're struggling for welders up here in wisconsin also so i feel your struggle.
