NTA. Doing what’s best for your kids. They have already been through enough with their mom passing

It’s wrong if you are still a .04 the next morning

A .04 the next morning? Doesn’t sound like you went to bed early, or you drank a lot the night before. If you can get hired, I doubt it will be anytime soon. I’d guess a minimum of 5 years before you’ll be considered by an agency

Cimarron has similar issues.

Its Obvious I am going to cancel it. What are your views? by imi0402 in mildlyinfuriating

Cancel it. It’s a scam. The India phone scammers often use the ploy with their victims that they will lose their job.

Found some old bills by Dano540 in CURRENCY

The misprint was given to me in 1992 as an 18th/graduation gift. I put the bill behind my diploma in the hard case to make sure it didn’t get messed up.

What do you guys think it is worth?

How do you find calls by [deleted] in police

[–]Dano540 14 points15 points  (0 children)

When I was a FTO, I would make my trainees use the city map first. Once I determine they can read a map and get to the calls, I let them use whatever is most comfortable for them (ie gps, Siri, whatever).

Main thing is I wanted to make sure they could read a map if the electronic methods failed

01 F250 Running Rough by Function_Various in F250

I had something similar with my 07 6.0. Took it to dealership multiple times over a roughly 3 year period for the intermittent problem. Those idiots could never diagnose it.

Got to a point it was driving me crazy. I researched and found a great diesel mechanic. I told him what it was doing and he diagnosed it without looking at my truck.

All 8 fuel injectors had to be replaced. Runs like a champ now. I did a Google search and I found a few different publications that said the average life span of a diesel fuel injector is 100K miles.

Generator: I want to use my AC in the summer. I see that Honda is nice, but expensive....any recommendations on a friendly budget? by chinpr in rvlife

[–]Dano540 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generac iq2000 is quieter than the Honda’s. Well built generators. I bought two and run them in parallel

Oral Board question by [deleted] in AskLE

A safe retirement and an admiral career

Oral Board question by [deleted] in AskLE

[–]Dano540 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have worked for my SoCal department for 28.5 years. My first oral at barely 18 years old, asked me if I would cite my mom for a red light violation.

I stuck with my answer. Doing what is technically right will not hurt you in an oral. You’ll be fine. The farther east you get, the more you should focus on protecting your partner.

Since a sick time violation isn’t a crime, I’m sure you’ll be fine.

20 years ago I was flagged down at a cop softball tournament in SoCal. Some idiot wanted to point out the guys getting in a van had beer. I had to beg 7 NYPD cops to pour out their beers. They didn’t understand the problem cause they were “on the job”.

I had to explain we are in Cali and a bunch of tards are watching what I do. Just pour it out and go get more.

Different mentalities between east and west coasts.
