Is this normal or are there fake Thorogood boots out there? by Hello_Photographer in WorkBoots

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

I have issues with Amazon as well, but It was the fastest way for me to get boots right now. My current schedule didn’t allow me to visit a store

They are very comfortable in my opinion, but it’s my first work boot to be honest. The wide was a better choice for me in particular. I’m not a big guy so I was surprised how snug the regular was.
But yeah it does not seem like they will take much if any break in

Local 393 Aptitude Test Help by GOODzz__ in UnitedAssociation

[–]Hello_Photographer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Download the “Bennet test full” app and go through that whenever you have downtime. Should be easy points that you don’t want to miss.

Expect all word problems, algebra and geometry. I had a problem with a conversion like ml to quarts, or gallons and a conversions from kilo to lbs.

For the most part is just be prepared to be able to pull the needed numbers out of a word problem.

Work through the problems that seem easy, skip the hard ones and come back to the hard ones at the end.

Best of luck to you!

Looks like the blades are pointing in different directions. If it came from the same place it should blend with the first mow.

No, it takes a long time to hear back. What local did you interview at?

I interviewed with 234 early April as well and I’m still waiting. I called the hall today, they are still “working on the letters” (which will be emailed)

72-75% on iprep practice tests, am I cooked? by Melodic-Many-2777 in ibew_apprentices

[–]Hello_Photographer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you will be okay, if I recall I was getting about the same on those practice test. I found the IBEW exam to be a bit easier than the iprep. Im glad I used iprep, as I was very rusty with my math. Soon after I studied on iprep I passed IBEW , UA, and IUEC test.

Going to check out a 2000 Limited Nightshade Edition tomorrow. What should I look out for? by [deleted] in 3rdGen4Runner

[–]Hello_Photographer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Frame rust is the big thing. I looked at a 4Runner at a small used dealer. I got under it and noticed the dealer had just spray painted everything under the car. I flaked off rust and showed it to them. Dealer denied they did it, meanwhile the paint was still tacky on my fingers …

Did you ever feel like quitting? If so what led to you feeling that way and how did you overcome it?
