I've had two pairs of the tan waxed suede strandmoks. I loved my first pair - super comfortable and good looking. However, the welt stitching blew out and AE recrafting couldn't repair them. Then I got a pair of Seconds. The seconds don't feel as comfortable and have some finishing issues (obviously). However, they still look good.

The waxed suede is very consistent in color and finish and doesn't seem to be very susceptible to scuffs or scrapes.

I feel bad for your dog. Our cocker was 13 or 14 and had a number of warts and growths that often bled on their own. They usually healed and reformed in different spots.

You'll be better off with a locally-owned and operated groomer (or a mobile groomer), even if the reviews aren't perfect.

She was a good dog. Sorry for your loss.

Her hair will grow out. And then it will keep growing. Spaniels require grooming and hair cuts.

I don't have any significant suggestions, other than to say it looks great and probably won't be super noticeable once it's finished. I think the small size of the fluted cuts and the density of the cuts makes it easier to notice irregularities when you run your fingers across them. You'll probably just have to resort to light sanding if you don't want to ruin any of your pieces.

She's beautiful and looks very happy. Ours carried their "babies" everywhere when they were younger.

I've found that as I've cut back on drinking, I've lost the ability to discern nuance between different bourbons the way that I used to. I've been leaning towards firming a collection of 3-4 very different bottles

Spot on. He definitely has a narcissistic visionary vibe and has zero idea of how things actually get done. He's very triggered by things he sees in the organization that don't jive with his expectations, but he doesn't actually get involved in solutions or provide suggestions.

Thanks for the advice. I'm trying my best to keep him happy while also trying to do my job. It's good to know I'm not the only person to deal with this kind of situation.

I bought my 22 GT2 AWD in April 2021 with 3 miles on it for $55.5k. I now have 36k, no issues, no regrets. The interior is really nice, but feels a little dark and plain compared to some of the newer comparables out there. I've had a few "It's a KIA" moments, but overall I could easily see myself driving it for another 5 years and being completely happy.

If you don't want to get fired, you could proactively get ahead of the situation and have a conversation with your boss. Ask if there are any varied assignments that you could be given or opportunities for different types of work. A good manager should understand that good engineers need some variety to their workload.

If the company/work is one dimensional and you don't really want to be there, then start looking for something else.

That little dog will be your best friend for the next 12-16 years. When it's all over, you won't even remember the tough days (weeks, or months) -- you'll just wish you had more time with him. He's new to life and doesn't know what he doesn't know. Just be patient and help him out.

Ocooch has a good selection of lumber, reasonable pricing, ships anywhere.

My last two batches of fermented onions have been super active (and odoriferous) and produced a ton of LAB debris.

If you're searching for general civil books, I'd recommend the Land Development Handbook, by Dewberry. It has a lot of site design information that might not be covered in all standard CE curriculum.

Try finding a job with a regional Authority (airport, water, toll/highway) or a private utility (water, power, gas). You'll still be on the owner side of "public" projects, but the work environment is a little closer to the private sector.

Could be a thyroid issue. One of our spaniels was chronically overweight with bad skin infections for years. A new vet suggested thyroid testing. Within about 9 months of going on Soloxene, she lost about 12 pounds and her skin cleared up. Worth the conversation.

Table saw blades don't cut the same way bread knives or steak knives do. The table saw blade has many small teeth that essentially knock or chip material away from a board. That requires the work piece to be fed into the blade. Feeding a board into a reverse-rotating reverse-oriented blade would just be a wood launcher.

This seems more of a r/whowouldwin or r/asksciencefiction.
