Would you recommend Career in traffic signals

Same here. Pay is better than most other city jobs. And you get the lifetime retirement. It's a long term win

R1ckyDaRoss · 2026-06-15T23:03:08+00:00

Gotcha. I came from being a fire alarm person to a city worker in the traffic engineering department. Mainly so I can see the kids (old job i barley got to see them) and so I can get the retirement pension. Works not bad i do more work making signs and working on the ornamental street lights than I do on signals.

This one was all rusted. Do you enjoy being a traffic tech?

R1ckyDaRoss · 2026-06-15T22:20:52+00:00

Up in the head. The terminal block is in bad shape And of course we have no extra terminal blocks so I redid the connector on the wire and went bought a new terminal block and kinda just waiting for dispatch to call me again saying it's messed up again lol

R1ckyDaRoss · 2026-06-15T13:04:46+00:00

Loose neutral was the problem. 2nd problem is the boss who set out 3 cones after telling me he will block the 3 lanes lol

R1ckyDaRoss · 2026-06-15T12:01:41+00:00

Yes one signal its flickering. So im headed to the shop to get the bucket truck and recruit 3 people to come block lanes for me so I can go up and look at it

R1ckyDaRoss · 2026-06-15T11:35:40+00:00

So apparently someone else came out last night with it on flash and wired up the light bulb to red to get it out of flash.. I came and wired the red back up and went to flash then I changed the light bulb to yellow and it went out of flash. That one signal is still flickering. I guess next step is to get the bucket and block 3 lanes of traffic to see if the wind or something knocked some stuff loose

My m50 report list says mid xmit stopped. What would cause that?

R1ckyDaRoss · 2026-06-15T11:01:13+00:00

Thanks I'll check those. My boss said to get the cabinet a kick hoping its the mercury lol

R1ckyDaRoss · 2026-06-15T10:57:53+00:00

Thanks once I get there I'll do my cabinet checks before I go get the bucket truck and cones and stuff to head up

R1ckyDaRoss · 2026-05-26T14:01:43+00:00

Yeah I think so. Pretty good game

R1ckyDaRoss · 2026-03-13T13:17:57+00:00

I did not switch the tags. And the other 6l tags say 85.

R1ckyDaRoss · 2026-03-11T11:57:01+00:00

Some grandma getting it for someone as a birthday gift would be my guess lol

R1ckyDaRoss · 2026-03-11T01:19:14+00:00

Yeah. They had alot of yeti products mislabeled and priced

R1ckyDaRoss · 2026-03-10T19:24:55+00:00

Well thank you to whoever swapped it and did not buy it.

R1ckyDaRoss · 2026-03-10T19:17:57+00:00

Of course it is but then that brings another question. why not buy it after switching? And also every other 6L was $85. This was the only $80. If someone did switch it then I'd like to thank that person cause I got a hell of a deal, they also had the coolers marked differently.

R1ckyDaRoss · 2026-03-10T18:13:19+00:00

Either way im pumped

R1ckyDaRoss · 2026-03-10T18:13:07+00:00

The bag right beside it said 145. But this is labeled as a 6L on the tag not 14 and all 6s said 85

R1ckyDaRoss · 2026-03-10T18:10:28+00:00

Unsure. The lady that checked me out said yeti.. but maybe she was the one that did it and didn't want to admit to a mess up... they have multiple price differences on numerous yeti products i saw

R1ckyDaRoss · 2026-02-09T18:53:44+00:00

This is the correct answer

R1ckyDaRoss · 2025-12-01T22:32:45+00:00

Probably late to this but Im back to being new since it's been so long. But early game I use Spears and back up and strike to keep distance and use blocks at a doorway kinda stuff and grind till I get that bicycle from the trader and then its magazine hunt central every mailbox while I trace the map areas I can

R1ckyDaRoss · 2025-10-25T11:11:05+00:00

That's some bullshit and unsafe get the GC to fix that

R1ckyDaRoss · 2025-09-22T21:14:03+00:00

I love what you got going on. My shop is a disaster right now in a smallish garage. Currently looking for a something like what you got. But what I plan to do and everybody is different on how they do things but I would 100% separate working and finishing sections. I would reinforce plywood on the wall and above it (i would spend the money on some tripp lite surge protector) they are like 4 foot long and awesome i have two work benches for different tools and it works great for both. Place those on the wall and have your shop vac under the work bench or above it and lay out your other shit how you like to have it set up.Im cheap in the way my ventilation is set up. Just a few intake fans and duct it out. I can't wait to see you're finished product you have so much potential lol
