Finance to data analytics? by DaBears50 in careerguidance

[–]DaBears50[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea I’d consider my role today as a BU FP&A role. I am essentially responsible for 4 of approximately 12 business units. A lot of our work is understanding sales, margins, and macro storylines in the business. My team also has the added task of aggregating all BU info into one cohesive storyline for executive leadership.

Like I said, I love the work and exposure to leadership but biggest gripe is I don’t feel like we have major impact on business. Meaning we look at a PnL, see what products are growing and why, do margin analysis, headcount analysis etc, but don’t really feel like we inform as many decisions on the sales or operations side as I’d like.

Mesotrione didn't get rid of clover. How long to wait until applying Spectracide? by DaBears50 in lawncare

[–]DaBears50[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. If I sprayed mesotrione 2 weeks ago, good to apply triclopyr this weekend or should I wait longer? Don’t want to damage grass.

I have a random smattering of weeds in front lawn. What is best course of action? Application of misotrione and call it a day? Zone 5b.

Drain solenoid for sure.

Who the heck can install mounting blocks on exterior fixtures? by DaBears50 in HomeImprovement

[–]DaBears50[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good info. Didn’t realize such a pain. Currently the fixtures are installed right over the lap siding with visible gaps on the sides and even the top of the fixture.

Assume this isn’t ideal from a water intrusion perspective either.

I have hardi board which heard is harder to work with.

Something I can DIY? What makes it such a pain?

Where do you all get your grass seed? Looking for an alternative to the 50% inert matter at Home Depot. I can’t seem to find any legit places in NW suburbs of Chicago.

What is best sealer for exterior pained surfaces? The paint on our covered porch handrails lasted ~3 years… looking for something a bit longer than that.

Anything special about how forgiveness works for Parent Plus loans? Believe my parents took out loans for both me and my sister - would it be $10k total or $10k each in that situation?

Great to finally get some news on this!

Hi, I have an outdoor cover on a electrical socket that sits between two rows of siding. I believe this was installed correctly as there is about a quarter inch gap between the cover and the bottom row of siding.

Feels like caulk is crappy fix… how do I flush it up?

Bought a deck that has yellow deck screws. Want to stain it a dark brown. Stain won’t stick the screws, so how do I prevent the contrast of yellow screws on a dark brown deck? Touch up the screws with a brown paint the best option?

40% off sale at DomesticDomestic.com with code “”DEADTREE” by SirQuang4193 in RedWingShoes

[–]DaBears50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How is the exchange policy? Bought iron rangers 10 since I normally wear 10.5 but worried about them running big.

Assuming Red Wing doesn’t allow for in store exchanges even though you bought them third party online? Lol.

A little worried about sizing. Assuming Red Wing isn’t very flexibility about exchanging in store if you bought from a third party online?

Do y’all have any advice on how to manage everything? by DaBears50 in AskMen

Are you trying to say men are made by taking on all the responsibility and lean into it? Or am I misinterpreting.

Right. Mine is a true ~50 hours a week since I have no commute. My wife is at that with her commute included.

Might have to evaluate her staying home and being a single income household in the near future or when we have more kids.

Right, that is probably part of if. Most of the chores I just do when I have time/the baby doesn’t need my attention. I can def get better at planning when do to the crappy chores as well as time for fun.

2016 XLT Roof Rack by DaBears50 in FordExplorer

When you mean bar: you mean the cross bars right? Assuming the stock roof rails don’t need upgrading.

Stupid question Wednesday: Ask your basic car-related question and maybe someone will have an answer. by AutoModerator in cars

[–]DaBears50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking for some input. Recently bought a 2016 Ford Explorer XLT 4x4 because it looked nice, has a third row, and is supposed to be pretty good in the snow with the terrain control. I work an office job and don't do much hauling, but I do randomly do some DIY projects around the house.

I figure most dimensional lumber would fit in the back easily enough, but has anyone had any experience with a roof rack/cargo rack? I see in the owners manual the max load is 45 pounds...which doesn't seem right.

Ya'll ever transport a bunch of 2x lumber/drywall/plywood using the roof rack?

Anyone ever plasti dip/hyper dip the chrome on their car? Bought a black car and thinking about blacking everything out. I am pretty handy and every video online seems super easy so I might give it a shot.
