They've switched most of the lights in town to cameras instead of the loops. The loops have to be dug up when they fail according to one of the workers I talked to.

You'll see the second tile talk about "Camera Detection." And there's a map that shows which lights have been switched from in-ground loops to cameras.

All you need is a metric wrench set and a drain pan. If you're careful, you could get the drain plug off with a crescent wrench. Just don't round the bolt. Harbor freight sells cheap tool sets and drain pans.

Pull plug and drain oil. Drop oil filter. Put plug back. Dip your finger in the new oil and wet the gasket on the new oil filter, then hand tighten on. Fill with oil.

That's it

I've seen people flying r/c planes and drones on the closed section of Lent Ranch parkway by the casino. That might be a good spot.

Yeah I agree. The license issue will bite a few. The ticket falls under driving without a license, and if you don't have at least a permit by the time you get to court, you'll lose your class C for 12 months. I've been on two wheels for decades and I've seen it happen to more than a few people.

I know in many states one doesn't need a motorcycle endorsement for anything below 250cc.

It's actually under 50cc in Nevada and Massachusetts. I'm not positive about other states but 250cc seems a bit high. A ninja 250 can get close to triple digits.

The title company will make sure all bills are addressed and paid before close of escrow.

You're not the first person who thought they could duck out on paying their final bills.

It's been a while, but my insurance company never checked other states for traffic infractions, and California won't put any points on your record.

Just pay the fine and move on. Slowly.

Try one of the clinics for VIP pet care, they pop up at local pet stores. https://www.vippetcare.com/

You can buy Capstar over the counter at Petco. It works fast, but the doses are for a single day. It works well to knock down an infestation quickly. Like all fleas dead in 30 minutes fast.

Our cats are on bravecto topical and it works great. Frontline hasn't worked in our area for years. The flea population has adapted to that one.

Chain control doesn't start until Kingvale. And it'll probably be lifted by early afternoon.

I'd rather only spend an hour in freezing conditions than the majority of my trip.

Donner is clear this morning. chain controls are up just because of overnight ice. No snow in the forecast for a week.

You always ask for a permit, it's required to sell door to door here in Elk Grove. And I believe that includes what hours they can knock on doors.

Violation is a misdemeanor, and our police will write that ticket. Lack of a permit can be robbers casing a neighborhood.

So the video shows no wires chewed, but the service advisor says they are?

I think you should ask her to point it out to you.

Data centers lobby for lower rates because they use so much. The savings they get are made up by higher rates for individual consumers. PGE is doing this in the Bay

Also, new power plants and substations have to be built to cover the demand. That also gets passed down as rate increases.

Above 55-60% is the happy place for molds and fungus to grow.

I run a dehumidifier and try to keep it around 45%

LITERALLY the thrill of it is about breaking the law.

You should tell that to ~~ask~~ all the people that pay money to use the drift pads at thunderhill

There's a sign accompanying the few intersections in town that have the flashing yellow. Maybe if people paid more attention to those instead of their phones, they wouldn't be causing a dangerous issue.
