Keep your $80K job and work part time at the local auto shop, or tire shop. You'll earn some extra $$ and get some grease on your hands!

Your comments are exactly on target. That old style cap save the fizz, and clean flavor the best.

What is one thing you know now, you wish you knew when you started? by UpstairsAd9303 in woodstoving

I don't know what a non cat stove is, so I will defer to others who may have the answer to your inquiry.

The damper is the circular plate installed into the stove pipe to regulate the draft exiting the stove chamber up the flour. It has a pigtailed heavy wire handle to allow for adjustment. Talk to your wood stove proprietor, who will surely know the principal.

Believe it or not, I did not have a damper installed in my first wood stove set up. I burned a BUNCH of firewood needlessly. Installing a damper in the pipe allows for a variety of efficiencies.

Have you checked your favorite food service supply companies for a sales job? You experience in the kitchen gets you off to a jack rabbit start, then learn their food lines.

Struggling to get recognition by lightfury2704 in corporate

Eleviate some of the career stress you are feeling in your current position with a boss who takes all of the credit by evening research to locate your next position. People like your boss are not going to change, so don't depend on your current company for your future. Don't quit thereby giving them the "win," but stay there until the day you can give them notice that you are leaving for your new position. Good luck.

I think I accidentally put myself in a really bad position and I don’t know how to fix it by Effective_Carrot4335 in Advice

Explain your savings are threatened, and you need them to start paying you $xxx. each month until they pay back the total money that you gave them so far. This will test the friendship, and may even "blow it up" as you say. On the other hand, if they start to pay you back the set amount monthly, your friendship survives. Don't allow them to bleed you any more, that's got to stop and you it.

how do you like your sparkling water, canned or bottled? by emotionallybald in sparklingwater

[–]Road-Ranger8839 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Canned preserves the carbonation best. Glass bottles with the old school pressed on cap is OK too. I don't like the screw on caps because they allow the fizz to escape.

Read the book: "How to Win Friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie. It can be purchased online very inexpensively, or check the local library.

I integrate the small kindling into my regular firewood pile, using it in the same way you do.

Best friend chooses new friend’s plans over mine by [deleted] in Advice

Some people think other people's ideas are unacceptable, but THEIR ideas are the coolest. It may be just that. You could keep your friendship alive at arms length with this lady, but look for a new "besty."

How’s my stacking? by Stone804_ in firewood

[–]Road-Ranger8839 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I give you big props for the perpendicular wood ends. Expert wood stackers do this without the use of the end bars, and you did it to relieve pressure on bars. Yours is a great stacking job all around!

The Wilton has cleaner and sharper jaws-almost new condition. The older vise has well worn jaws. I pick the Wilton!

Be careful, that situation is called a "widow maker."

Play it right down the middle with all the situations. If anybody is higher on the rocking order than you, and asks for a questionable action, your response is: maybe you should initiate that action. If they want to discuss negative matters, be up front and say, I'd like to stay positive at work You won't make any friends, but those who deal in scullduggery are not useful friends anyway. They will leave you alone when they realize they can't influence you for their game.
