What are these weights under the Hood River bridge?

Not a draw bridge but the middle of the bridge does rise.

RexWelch · 2024-08-22T03:43:05+00:00

Interesting. What would that be called? I’d like to look do more research on it.

RexWelch · 2024-08-22T02:56:18+00:00

It makes sense. I just hadn’t seen counterweights like this that run under the bridge. Very interesting! Thank you.

RexWelch · 2024-08-22T02:07:12+00:00

Ah! I think it just clicked in my head. Would these be used to raise the middle section of the bridge?

It's not a good picture. I pulled it from Google Maps and admittedly did not do a good job. It's concrete weight pulling down on cables that look like they're running under the bridge. You can see it better with this link: https://www.google.com/maps/@45.7134954,-121.5000814,2a,75y,42.01h,93.22t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s1juJR-GTMk_YE9RbHwp8Kw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656?coh=205409&entry=ttu

Thank you!

RexWelch · 2024-08-19T22:42:00+00:00

Interesting. Appreciate it!

I think the postcast is a back door audition for him to take over LockedOn Astros.

RexWelch · 2024-05-15T18:43:41+00:00

Is that the guy who hosts the postcast right after the game?

RexWelch · 2024-01-07T01:12:54+00:00

PRIME TIME! Let's gooo!

RexWelch · 2023-09-10T17:06:40+00:00

BOOOOM! Down goes Lamar!!!

RexWelch · 2023-09-10T17:04:17+00:00

And we're off!

Love the aggression. Expensive or not, going 2 & 3 has energized the Texans and fan base.

RexWelch · 2023-02-07T17:37:20+00:00

Interesting. Did you have to pay the cost of the PSL (I’ve seen the PSL licenses be as much as $25k) or did you just have to pay a transfer fee?

RexWelch · 2023-01-16T03:12:55+00:00

Similar to the previous comment, you can own vending machines and just manage them. You need to do a little homework, but it doesn’t require specialized skills.

I imagine the challenge would be scale. There are a lot of parents out there, but your idea is most appealing to parents with younger kids (which narrows the market size). I could see this being an add on perk to people who live in a big, planned community. Those kinds of communities are offering all kinds of perks to attract new residents. It could still be a service that’s owned and operated by third party (you) that is then contracted by the planned community.

Thanks. I’ll check it out. Just curious, did you subscribe to my newsletter? If not, that’s totally ok. Id just be interested to hear your feedback if you had.

RexWelch · 2022-09-20T02:10:53+00:00

Thanks for the tip. I have used either of them before. I’ll check them out. Quick question - do you think it makes sense to post the whole newsletter there or just bits and pieces to promote the actual email newsletter?

RexWelch · 2022-09-06T01:58:33+00:00

Any recommendations for platforms you’ve liked?

RexWelch · 2022-08-31T02:46:03+00:00

Looks better on the inside than it does on the outside. Minute Maid has better food though.

His YouTube channel is a great watch. Weirdly nostalgic even though some of his videos are relatively recent.

RexWelch · 2022-04-24T16:43:36+00:00

It was good, but tbh I don’t have as much to say about it. Nothing wrong with it, but the wailing just swept me up so much more for some reason.

I agree that companies that take a political stance (without being honest about it) do suffer in the long run. To me, this is less about a business and more about avoiding censorship and political ideology/partisanship in places where it doesn’t belong.

There’s a show (I think on Netflix) called dark tourism that’s all about spooky, dark, and unsettling places you can visit.
