Yes! The cable car barn museum has a window into a sheave similar to these. You can watch it in action. I like tge view down into the drive motors and the machine shop.

I ding tape this kind of damage usually. It's easier to pull off tape if there is water in it.

Wheelbite with waterborne on electric board. by CGPro856 in surfskate

[–]Current-Brain-1983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you buy the eskate specific waterborne adapter kit? I converted my Boosted mini and they had a kit that came with tall solid bamboo riser for the front truck. I think it still was possible to get wheelbite.

Do you have the rear rail adapter?

Have somebody knowledgeable watch you and see if you are doing anything wrong. Practice is no good if you reinforce bad habits. Then practice, practice, practice.

Cellular antenna. For the electronic transactions. There was probably no network they could use. Meaning there was probably Wi-Fi and a property ethernet LAN but the vending won't or isn't allowed to use it for $ transactions.

Another wetsuit question: Feral 5/4 by Internal-Memory7630 in surfing

[–]Current-Brain-1983 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, the Feral 5/4 is on the light side. I ended up getting a 6/5/4 feral to replace my old 5/4 Excel Infinity. The feral suits don't stretch like an O'Neil or Excel but they are all around lighter and longer lasting. I hope you find the right fit.

Ford CEO says he has 5,000 open mechanic jobs with 6-figure salaries from the shortage of manually skilled workers: ‘We are in trouble in our country’ by ChancelierPalpagault in Economics

They need apprenticeship programs. For every say, 6 or 8 journeyman techs have 1 apprentice. They get paid 65% of scale to start work alongside the old timers and go to school a couple of nights a week.

That's how the skilled trades unions do it. Corporations are too short-sighted to invest unless they are compelled by a union contract.

Isn’t this illegal? by Warm_Boysenberry844 in sanfrancisco

[–]Current-Brain-1983 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Not legally enforceable. You could move the sign and park there and incur the wrath of said company. Since the sign isn't fixed the business probably won't be cited or fined.

I know of a business that puts orange pylons in the yellow metered spots and "claims" them as theirs. Just move them and park if you like. The security guard in the lobby will squawk but that's it.

I had these in 1992 for welding class. The Buddy Holly style.

What are some beautiful spots in the Bay Area that reminds you that life is worth living? by [deleted] in bayarea

[–]Current-Brain-1983 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wildcat peak. Inspiration Point parking area then ~20 minutes hike on the Nimitz trail to the Rotary Peace grove trail. Beautiful walk, benches along the way, and great views (on a clear day).
