    It’s not stuck enough. It’s not stuck until your on the belly pan with all wheels slicked over and spinning free, you stopped trying way too early. Just ask my hands how to do it the correct way.

    6 Days After Celebrating '100% Renewable Power', Spain Blames "Rare Atmospheric Phenomenon" For Nation's Largest Blackout In History

    Everyone worries about the grid going down or substations getting blown up and we need more coal and gas but the truth is it’s all venerable. Back around 2000 the Mississippi River was at or above flood stages all along the river causing a shutdown in loading and unloading facilities. Guess how...

    They flew a little too close to the sun and got burnt. Adjust the spinning reserve with load following capabilities up a few percent and carry on. That is an easy fix for the resource coordination engineers but the environmental wackos won’t like it.

    Had a mal that i raised from a pup and trained for protection and tracking then later a guy gave me a German shepherd because he was too aggressive. Both were about the same age around 3 years old. One day I got my wife to take me down the road from the house and drop me off with all my bite...

    I wish I had that, when I started we programmed the Honeywell controls with boxes of punch cards stored in a filing cabinet next to the EWS. We eventually got a disk reader added, the floppies were about the size of a vinyl album

    AAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH! FIRE ANTS!

    If you ever use it you will wonder why you wasted money on all that other crap.

    Forget all the other crap that doesn’t work and get this. 1/2 oz to gallon of water in pump up sprayer then mist the mounds in your yard. We use 2oz / acre on hay fields and it takes care of them all year.

    I got it now. It’s been over 40 years since college but with your help and a few functional brain cells I can get my angle and slope. Thanks guys for the help.

    Here it is graphically. As you can see it slopes in two different directions but in reality it actually only slopes in one axis at an angle between the x and y

    The way it normally works with a dual slope level is you aim the laser (using sights on the laser just like iron sights on a gun) towards one slope, let’s say at 12 o’clock dead ahead and you manually force the laser to tilt down to the grade you want, so now it’s like you are looking down a...

    Ok, a rotary laser sends a laser beam perfectly level in 360 deg so no matter where you are around the laser it will be level, like a building slab. A single slope level allows you to manually adjust the laser beam up or down in one axis only, like setting the slope on a driveway going either up...

    Is that left or right edge hold?

    My dual slope laser went out now I’m forced to use my single slope one in the meantime, problem is I’m working on a dual slope project. So the question is how to calculate the direction and slope needed to aim the single slope laser to accomplish a dual slope. The project has a -.5% grade on...
