    FAFO

    Back in the 70s my uncle had an old trailer that he rented out. The guy wouldn’t pay his rent, piled old engines and crap in the yard and refused to move out. The guy left one day and my uncle took his hoe, pealed the roof off grabbed all his junk in the yard and piled it in the house then he...

    Was doing some inspections on the side for a small town gas system because their regular gas guy had retired. I found a meter running and the house was shut off. I found a T underground that connected to pvc and ran to the neighbors house then another T that connected to a water hoses then back...

    FIFY. Each state should have developed a trade school system. We’re trying to get rid of a national school system now.

    Had that happen to me in the gulf. Not sure what fish it was but it was like being in the matrix. If I moved they would move with me staying about a foot away at all times completely surrounded by fish. I was scuba not free diving and all I could think of was a big cuda or shark running through...

    So Cal Ice protest.

    Dream team matchup. Ms13, antifa, etc. vs 100 Spartans and 300 Mongol horsemen flanking to keep the battle nice and tight.

    Hmmm, 2 times ball pass frequency, inner race defect on the inboard bearing. Oh and also high resonance frequency at running speed, soft foot on left rear mount. I give it 200 hours before it has to be removed from service.

    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.

    AAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH! FIRE ANTS!

    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...
