Been working 100 miles from home in houses with no juice. Need batteries! I fired up the generator today for 6 3" tapcons in concrete. THis stuff has river rock, not limestone, Those little rocks are hard, even with 120V hammer drill.
Actually, other than 8th grade (when I walked to the school nearby), we always got on the bus. But back then, a bus driver was "REQUIRED" to be able to put chains on his bus, and like Griz says, they did not cancel school often. When they did, me, your Dad and Tommy R always went around making a few bucks snow shoveling.Griz I’m just fine with low snow totals!!!
And don’t you know, Uncle Mike walked to school too
UPHILL both ways
I remember those days also. We went to school in the snowstorms and didn't get out early unless there was a good foot of snow. We had snowcaves in the roadside snow banks. One hill down the street was a good 1/4 mile long to slide down. At the bottom was a barbed wire fence and the road. Across the street was another much smaller hill. We would have a lookout for anyone coming down as we blasted thru the fence, landed in the snow covered road and continued on our way down the other hill. We would only make 2 - 3 runs as it was a long walk back up that hill in the snow. Those were the days when we really had lots of snow.
Sounds fair to me
ok, drop it off. I may have to shorten it a bit, but I think it will get the job done.
Another inch instead of MM mistake in ordering or pulling stock…
In all seriousness though, with the options suggested, the research I've done and already having a lot of stuff to build another bigger splitter, I decided to just let the bent cylinder ride for now. It leaks a few drops right before it's fully retracted, so not a big deal. I'd rather just put that money towards the new splitter build.ok, drop it off. I may have to shorten it a bit, but I think it will get the job done.
The school superintendent lived on the same street as I but about a mile away on the “city end.” I lived on the old farm, dead-end, end and was about 200 feet higher in elevation. He’d drive up our street and around a few others and decide whether to close the schools.
on spots suck, by the time you need them, they should have been deployed under the tire already. Should really just go back to training people how to put tire chains on, on the road.
Taking manual transmissions out of the equation is the simplest way for driving schools to ensure high success rates. Some of the best students on earth would fail a road test simply because they're all left feet and too uncoordinated to shift a manual trans.
100%, agree.
Sticks great till you're in an underpowered 10 wheeler plowing cul-de-sac or any other scenario where you're constantly going front and back, or constantly stopping and starting. It's a big reason short run and vocational trucks are automatics for years now. I prefer stick for many reasons, but automatics have their place.
I doubt I'm going back to driving. But if I did, I'd rather have an auto with a comfy new seat than a 13 speed that some lard ass has wallowed around on for 700,000 miles.
Yeah, automatics definitely have their place. I find automatics especially useful when I'm hauling a heavy load. I don't have to keep frequently shifting gears. This is even more true when I'm driving in a hilly part of the country.
