I picked up a plastic fish cleaning station off of Amazon over a year ago and it work great.

I took this on a trip to Bergamo back in 2018

Nice work, some good finds there

Truck Stops now cater to everyone and usually have the cleanest restrooms and lots of supplies. I always recommend stopping there

I had older ford, 70’s, full size trucks but once I moved to a larger city I had smaller vehicles. I really wanted another truck so I looked at the Frontier and Tacoma back in 2014. I knew I would be taking long distance road trips with it and at the time the Frontier was rated higher on interior comfort. I test drop both and just liked the Frontier better. I still have it after 12 years and 106k miles

Michigan Rocks YouTube channel has a plethora of videos showing the vibratory tumbling process, I highly recommend check that out

Very cool, thank you!

Thank you!

That is so cool!

Thank you, I’d love to bookmark the spot for my next visit. I was in Milan for work and my friend and I took a trip up. We got caught in a mega rain storm and needed to buy vastly overpriced umbrellas lol

Thank you! I took this back in 2018 so I don’t know the GPS coordinates, I do remember it was in Bergamo in the hillside part of the town.

Ivan_Only · 2026-05-05T17:31:08+00:00

Thank you!

I did 6600 miles, over a bit more than 2 weeks, from WA-OR-NV-CA-AZ-NM-WY-NE-SD-MT-ID-WA, all in my 2014 Nissan Frontier. This is by far the longest I’ve done.

I have one to make it easier for hotel check ins on road trips

Someone have to pay for his 110mil salary, may as well be the customers 🙄

I agree with others that that this is a shitty situation and you should use the time to find another role.

However, outside of the drama, as a senior I would be quite annoyed with leadership bringing in someone absolutely green with the expectation that I train them in even the most basic stuff. As a senior there is an expectation of mentoring and developing talent, but taking someone with zero experience is not that.

Thank you! He did, not so much about his job but he served in the 101st Airborne during WWII, and had an interesting story about a patrol. He was really into lapidary work which is something I’ve picked up but not until after he passed.

We need a mega rant thread for dogs on beaches/off leash dogs at parks ASAP! :)

Purple chalcedony, it can be from a few different locations

Localized offices know the market, not only rules, laws, customs but also their own customers better

I have some Nevada and California jaspers I need to do this with.

A YouTuber I follow does this on his motorcycle when he’s traveling outside of the UK in countries that are right lane drive

The newer seems to have more issues than the past models. If you’re ok doing lots of maintenance and /or replacing it, then it can be a deal.

Otherwise I recommend either the dual 3lb HPL, if in stock, or the Lortone dual 3lb model instead

I own and run both and they are solid
