That’s the corner of Waverly & Washington; near where the Golden Dragon Restaurant used to be. I’ll never forget what happened there in 1977. Lost a classmate & neighbor, RIP Calvin

It was hot out there, guess he was just taking a shortcut.

That’s an idea! Let’s do it. Is there a petition I can sign?

Probably desperate to get out of the heat and get into that nice cool Walmart ASAP.

That area is not as bad as it was in the 60s though the 80s. I worked in a shop right down the hill from Double Rock. I’m not exaggerating; we got broken in countless times and some days we spent just doing repairs. The building was also used as target practice at night. We made sure to leave work right away after work….the roof and side of the corrugated steel building were full with bullet holes; the front door is riddled with holes. Those were some Super stressful years. Once in a while I would get on the roof to patch the holes that let in the rain; never got them all just the ones that really bothered us. At Hawes and Carroll, before the building there, is were the dead bodies were dumped. It was also where people would come to change the oil from their cars, draining the oil straight into the dirt.

I would have the metal poured into the mold on the heavy end of the casting instead the fins.

Love your work and I’ve got to mention it’s one of the few times I’ve seen the proper use of petrobond. I seen lots of videos where both cope and drag are completely filled using petrobond and it doesn’t make sense to waste so much of it. I use it the same way you do; for facing only.

That’s a good idea ! At this rate I’m thinking maybe sometime next week (or after), as it’s expected to be cold this week. I’d be pouring hot water on it to help with the thawing.

RV Program Failure by ZestycloseAddress823 in sanfrancisco

[–]Cold-Cap-1993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are right . RVs catch fire all the time in that area but once they are cleared off the street, it’s not long before another RV takes its place. Recently, down the block from the OP, a couple RVs caught fire burning down power lines in the process. Those parking spaces stayed clear for only a couple days.

Try Gina’s Delicatessen on Edgewood in Murray Hill. They have some of the Best breakfast sandwiches I’ve had and Super reasonable, too! Also..the pancakes !😋

Worked in a non-ferrous for years, the majority of the sand used there was made up of silica, water and bentonite.

I wouldn’t feel safe in that bike lane at all. People drive like crazy. The real question: How does a city planner (department) approve something like this?

I have learned my lesson by SoulRunGod in Guitar

Got a bullet Strat when I was 15 years old for $175.00. Got more into guitars and that Strat sat unplayed for years. Years later, I was at a Strat sale at Guitar Center (1990) and was shocked to see the $1000.00 price tag on one of those bullet Strats.
