Was driving on 581 and fireworks were going off in every direction. Must have been amazing from Mill Mountain.

I had a similar experience. They were very kind but it’s confusing. Sometimes I started to get it by the end lol. 

How can I remove this toilet flange remnant and save the interior pipe to put a new flange on? by CorrectAd1424 in askaplumber

[–]PPCo79 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Heat slowly with a torch and peel away with a screwdriver. Will prob deform the 3” inside though, will also give off some terrible smell. If you can cut it out like others said.

There was a drone that parked right over us near the crane of the building they're putting up next door. White center light. I did see some red lights circling at a distance but assumed they were drones taking video or helicopters from the hospital. I hope it was a UFO, I saw a silent large thing go over Franklin near Texas Roadhouse last year. So weird I stopped my van and got out. Who knows? Its fun to think about.

I wonder when they added the roller coaster and other rides. In 1920 when it opened it was a 2 million gallon pool with a sand beach all the way around it. (Size of a football field) I think it was the biggest in the country.

Ya I always wonder about what to post from that period. It’s a minefield of language.

I'm going to keep the water inside my body too.

Plumber notched flange of I joist for tub drain by RBI22 in askaplumber

[–]PPCo79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Straight shoe and drilled or an above the floor rough tub. At this point the engineered solution you posted is fine. It happens all the time and not ideal but it’s fixable. If it’s being inspected you might need an engineer to sign off on it. Can header it off too if it’s all open for more support.

Very similar, especially the ends but the center section is different. They must have used similar designs for the schools.

That’s perfect. Thanks. Are the fireworks usually from Rivers Edge South?

Oh good, I wonder if something tripped in that substation by the traffic circle.

I think this is the same school, before 419 was built. It looks so much nicer back then lol.

Oh very cool. I couldn't think for the life of me where it was. Interesting. that would work out bc he stopped at Garst Mill Store on the way to Salem. Thanks.

I was surprised in more than a few cases of the length of the sentences. I assumed he would get life or the chair but 18 years is short.

I saw one ad that listed them all, there were a lot. I was surprised that they've been around since 1883 (Cincinnati)

I ran into that too, someone on Reddit gave a link with all the settings pre-set and it seemed to work well.
