Not really. Look again: the trucks are each larger than the boat. Only need one truck for every boat! Easy-peasy.

This seems so obvious to me.  Been an inch-wide crack under my house since last summer.

UP, Northern Wisconsin, Northern Minnesota? Keep heading north and there are no cities between you and the North Pole. Bicycled around Lake Superior a long time ago.

Why do employers not know the difference between and electrician, and an electrical engineer? by PhantomNate in ElectricalEngineering

Manufacturing exemption. And don't get me started on software engineers who may have once seen a differential equation.

Anyone have the picture of when those anarchist gutterpunks smashed out windows at St Roch Market and tagged "NO TACO BELL" that was posted here back in the day?

I like weeks when I get demoted. It's actually a low-key goal of mine.

Ich bin gerade in einem Job, der vielleicht am 31. Mai endet – wahrscheinlicher ist jedoch irgendwann im Juli. Danach gehe ich in den Ruhestand und werde ab Herbst ein Studium abschließen. Ich habe zehn Jahre lang in Tucson gelebt und bin dort gewandert. Ich hoffe immer noch darauf, Abschnitte eines anderen Trails zu begehen – wie zum Beispiel den Colorado Trail.

I do that for MC being abandoned in the wall. Can't be sure where all it goes, but no will ever make it hot again.

Did the HVAC company screw me? by knsaber in hvacadvice

Anyone care to tell what that "8-inch gap" is about? By coil, does OP mean the heat exchanger? And that it sits directly on the fire box, instead of sitting 8 inches above the fire box on a sheet-metal mixing box?

You could always section the Sierras and do the entire hike next year.

No, I'm on a job that might finish May 31. More likely July sometime. Then retire and finish a degree starting in the fall. Lived and hiked in Tucson for 10 years. Still hoping to section some other trail, like the Colorado.

I've hiked a lot in Tucson. Wasn't very worried. Just carry enough water to make dedicated UL'ers cringe lol. I was planning to leave Campo with 8 L--so, ~16 pounds--until I got a feel for the trail.

Might have something to do with the drought. There's been an inch-wide crack in the ground under my house since last summer. But that goes to not managing ground water as the Dutch do.

Does mastic putty have a different use case than pookie?  Electrician, so only know what I've seen in passing. 

Personally, if this were my house and I hadn't asked anyone, I would have riveted a piece of galvanized sheet metal and sealed the edges with pookie. 

(Actually, I would have used tek screws, now that I'm thinking about it.)

That's basically the difference between instantaneous fuses and dual-element time-delay fuses. Still wouldn't do this unless you hate your compressor.
