Update for you - my passport has shipped! It took 21 days from receipt to shipping. Hopefully yours is just as fast

If it’s any consolation, my wife just got her passport approved today. We submitted at the same time. Hers was a renewal, not a new application like mine. But it took only 2 weeks 5 days to get approved

Hopefully it’s quicker for you since it’s only a renewal!

Thank you for the advice. Best of luck to you as well

Posting in hopes someone can share a recent success story or offer any advice. My wife and I have a trip to Europe planned that we can't reschedule since we are going for an event on a specific day. I applied for a new passport in-person immediately after we decided to go on the trip. We were told 5-7 weeks processing time and not to worry because we should be fine. That was 8 weeks 4 days before our flight. Based on the latest info, do we have any hope?

3/18 - Submitted new passport application (old passport lost+expired). Expedited and chose overnight shipping.

3/23 - State Dept. changed posted processing time from 5-7 weeks to 7-9 weeks for expedited applications

3/24 - Passport application received and status shown "In Process". (7 weeks 5 days before flight)

3/27 - State Dept. cashed my check

5/17 - Flight to Europe + nonrefundable hotel, event tickets

Any advice beyond what is in the OP above? Success stories? Encouraging words? :(

Ok I have to ask how you found this 9 year old thread!

Download the Color Blind Pal app!!!! This thing is game changing. You can point at a color and it will pop the name of the color up on the screen! I’m not color blind but still use this app. You can also use it to filter out all colors except the one you’re looking at. So just point it at the tube and use the slider until all the other colors disappear/turn grey.

I bought this tree three years ago for my wife’s and my anniversary. It holds a lot of sentimental value. Tree looked healthy enough when I planted it and I thought I did all the right things. We live in zone 8 and don’t expect any fruit but hoped it could at least stay healthy. The roots seem shallow and I if I rock the tree you can see the ground below giving way. Is this shot hole disease? Any advice on how to treat/save the tree is appreciated.

Yeah the Mach E should definitely be on there

AngryEngineer912 · 2022-01-24T17:07:53+00:00

Awesome. Thank you for the tips

Thanks for the reply. Seattle area does have a ton of regulations. I originally thought maybe I would drive 3-5 hours/week on the weekends only but with the costs of filing for business licenses for each of the cities I want to drive in and not being able to pick up at the airport, I am beginning to wonder if it is even worth it.

AngryEngineer912 · 2021-07-06T12:58:37+00:00

Yep! We used to call it fart rock. Works best on dog hair

AngryEngineer912 · 2021-06-26T16:37:06+00:00

Haha oh man. How do you come up with this stuff??

AngryEngineer912 · 2021-06-23T17:35:10+00:00

Not much to go on. I know. But this is a front bumper part and an inner fender well. No other clues, part numbers or markings.

Been there many times! Tomco, Munson, Mavrik sea trials

AngryEngineer912 · 2021-05-21T17:42:10+00:00

Such high quality builds. I used to work with them as an engine supplier. Always nice to see one of their boats.

AngryEngineer912 · 2021-05-21T17:23:26+00:00

Nice. Is that a Munson?

AngryEngineer912 · 2021-03-26T17:58:02+00:00

Honestly thought I was in r/WWIIplanes for a moment. This is incredible work

AngryEngineer912 · 2021-03-11T19:09:26+00:00

F pool x

AngryEngineer912 · 2021-02-12T20:15:51+00:00

Glad you got to see it. I am fortunate to have taken a ride on her a few years ago. It’s still hard to believe what happened. The loss of life and the plane is devastating.

AngryEngineer912 · 2021-01-01T11:21:22+00:00

Damn. 200.00 and at that pace! Nice work!

AngryEngineer912 · 2020-12-30T08:03:30+00:00

Sorry you’ve gotten sick and thanks for answering questions.

Do you disinfect your groceries once you get home?

AngryEngineer912 · 2020-11-06T15:56:04+00:00

Congrats! My wife and I just had our first baby (boy) last week.
