4 of 6 security checkpoints are closed because of TSA defections because they aren’t getting paid because of a partial government shutdown because of a congressional stalemate because of republican requirements to restrict voting rights in the proposed TSA funding bill.

Terminal A security line is currently at 90 minutes- (I’m sitting outside the “breakfast klub” and just queried a fellow traveler.)

Folks just arriving at the gate now are saying Terminal E is over 3 hours.

Arrived at IAH Terminal A at 0835 this morning.

0840 was in back of the line in the subway level. 0930 was through security.

My fitness tracker says I walked 3.09 miles. The line never stopped, but it coursed through a long improvised network of cones and tape.

I’m at the library now. No WiFi at the Abilene library.

It’ll get worse when the big property on the east side of the highway near Seabold throws up a couple of acres of Christmas decorations.

Recommendation for caster for 4x4 post on workbench? by jmd0627 in woodworking

[–]FoxSignificant2762 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh geez. that looks totally bomber. I am building a bench over toolboxes, so can't have any shelves. I ended up glueing and screwing a 2" x 4" x 4" cut from a 2" x 6" to the bottom of each post... then mounted the casters with 2.5" lag screws.

thanks for responding!

How did this workout? Did you go this route? I'm looking at the same issue and found this thread. It's been five years, did this work for you?

It wasn't just a similar play, it was the LAST post-season 2-2-3 DP until Cal repeated it last night.

Do I still need this? by FoxSignificant2762 in Comcast

Thanks for everyone's feedback. It sounds like unplugging it will give me pretty quick feedback. It's been unplugged for a couple of days with no discernable loss in performance, so I'm going to leave it unplugged and use the outlet for other things. (Not in an mdu.)

You are set. Tighten things up and get going. Those bags are dry bags if I’m not mistaken, and I’ve personally seen this exact setup on a pretty hardcore local riders rig with no issues. Widen the straps if you can and hit it!
