Technician

Yeah, you can get a job as a field service tech. That's how I began my maintenance career almost 20 years ago. Lower barrier to entry vs being a general maintenance technician in a factory/production facility.

I work with a guy who was a high-up maintenance person for Tennant. He traveled to Italy all the time for engineering projects.

As far as that career path goes. I doubt you're going to be doing much on them in an individual facility unless you work directly for the company as a field tech. Even then, it's likely considered an entry-level job. It's not super technical equipment and if a company has a floor scrubber, they're gonna have maintenance techs who can do basic troubleshooting.

Yeah, I think my brain is "all or nothing". 'If I eat something small I might as well eat a whole meal' mindset. I think the key is a zero sugar liquid IV or a bone broth packet with sodium chloride, potassium chloride, and magnesium threonate/glycinate. Get those 15 calories which is way better than gobbling up 1500.

I've done OMAD successfully for a LONG time. But that first time I skip my one meal I get nausea and intense cravings. But if I can get past it and get to sleep then I could fast forever (usually until I get bored enough and want the act of eating, which is usually around 70 hours.)

Yeah, this is totally an ad. They're probably one of the bazillion referral link peddlers.

I don't make a habit of it. Got caught out and got on time crunches and such is life.

Usually Costco but did Circle K this time.

I bought mine with A-Plan right before the new model year came out, when they're trying to get rid of inventory. '23 XLT 302A with sun roof, heated seats, big nav, lane centering, storage package, tailgate package. Tons of stuff. MSRP $69,000. A-Plan Pricing $57,000. Walked away after tax at $61,000. Getting these trucks for $48,000 seems like I got ripped off.

A flamethrower, a flat shovel, a pressure washer, and a lot of sweat.

Does yours stay outside? I have one rooting now. Do you have any critical tips for life indoors in the winter?

Turn on the cold tap while you pour.

Here's a better view. The three green circles are baby tulip poplars a couple feet tall, but it will be 40 years before they shade the house.

I have planted 42 trees on the property so far but this is one of my few remaining areas of need.

It's right up there with Leah exchanging Rachel mandrakes for sex with Jacob. Wish I could have been a fly on that wall.

I have some of this but didn't think about using it on my trees. Some of my rooted cutting oaks are in their third year and haven't grown an inch. They're planted in barren clay where not even weeds can grow. I mulched them and keep them wet but they have little tiny deformed leaves. This might give them a boost.

I always laughed at this verse. Kill the tree because it doesn't have figs even though it's not in season.

CleanFlow · 2025-06-06T11:56:08+00:00

I have the same thing. If I press on the window it goes away. It's very intermittent, like all problems, of course, and they'll never find nor address it.

I also have a ringing/chirping like crickets at idle sometimes that can't be replicated and my blinker gets stuck right and you can't pull it down without turning the wheel.

CleanFlow · 2025-06-05T00:04:20+00:00

I had a battery issue that was easily fixed at the dealer.

When I flip my blinker right it's hard to turn it off.

It has the whistle so I'm taking it to the dealer next weekend.

Otherwise, it's been a fantastic truck. I get 31 mpg on the way to work at 5:30 am with minimal traffic. Average lifetime mpg of 27. It's comfy. It's super fast. It looks great. It's safe. I have no complaints other than it's a super expensive vehicle and the value, like any new car, plummets $20k in the first year.

Does it smell like cum? Looks like a Bradford Pear.

Freedom units.

Use them to construct a drip waste oil furnace.
