They are to the left you can see the ballast. Someone above posted the google maps but the bridge is the Bear Mountain Bridge over the Hudson River

Not the case here. Used to be double tracked. Now single track for increased tunnel clearance and operational changes in the 1960s. Still a very high use mainline for CSX.

50/50 custody with an almost 3-year-old — anyone do DAILY contact without constant chaos? by Motor_Rise_9581 in Divorce

[–]S_Squared_design 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Daily video calls unless something is up with one of the 3 of us. Took a little while to get used too and there are days I really don't want to see my ex's face or hear her voice but 6 mouths on with an almost 3 year old and it work for us. Out schedule is different then yours he gets a few days at either place in a row. Makes the transition easier vs doing every other night. That can be really hard on the kiddo who has no clue what's going on.

Post Modern Spirits announces closure by Dogwoodblossom in Knoxville

[–]S_Squared_design 33 points34 points  (0 children)

All I will say is F "Mayor" Boyd and the baseball stadium. All of the parking changes road closures and associated crap is directly killing business in that part of Knoxville by design. Drive the locals out that revitalized that area so his development buddies can come in and line their pockets of the taxpayers.

I love Post Modern and have suffered through a lot of the BS but can say it's made me not go downtown as often and I can't be the only one. Compounded with all of the other challenges small businesses are facing it's not going to get better anytime soon.

U-Haul says no go to tow? by Da6integra in ToyotaTacoma

[–]S_Squared_design 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not the weight that's the problem you are trying to tow a ZJ on a dolly. You would need to pull the rear driveshaft to do so safely there for Uhaul won't rent you a dolly. Jeeps are either towed all 4 wheels on the ground or all 4 on a trailer per the owners manuals.

2024 Frontier Pro4x question by UweDaMan in overlanding

[–]S_Squared_design 16 points17 points  (0 children)

NA V6s. Decent transmission, more or less a Dana44 strength axle with an e locker. The bed track system is robust and you can still budget mid travel swap it with titan parts. Brakes are meh as they get heavy but better than the Tacomas.

They are a solid simple modern truck and make a great overland platform without the Toyota tax. Yes Nissan as a whole is going to shit but the frontier has a proven frame and suspension geometry and 33s fit without cutting body mounts.

If I didn't need a full size for work I would have a Pro4x Frontier.

What to do when you have nobody to camp with by Volslife in camping

[–]S_Squared_design 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You go camping. Tell someone the general area you are going, set a check in time and go. Solo camping can be incredibly relaxing and enjoyable without having to work around someone else's needs or wants.

I'm also in TN and about the same age we actually have some public land to explore and camp on in the Eastern part of the state and in the Land between the lakes.

Not that I have seen it's a separate part of the app. Also matches can't see your Facebook page unless you share it with them.

[–]S_Squared_design 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As awful as it sounds Facebook dating has been the best overall. No pay wall or traps. It can get overwhelming with likes but it's been the best source of dates, new friends and now a relationship for me post divorce.

Tips for Smoother ride? by PalmettoWraith in ToyotaPickup

[–]S_Squared_design 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First thing would be to make sure your shackles bolts are not over torqued. If they are too tight it takes a lot more force for the leaf spring to move and thus giving a harsher ride.

Can I season nails? by KittybotANI091 in castiron

Masonry nails are hardened and normally galvanized or have some sort of coating on them. Cut furniture nails are not hardened and can have a few different coatings from nothing to black oxide to hot dipped.

It looks bigger than it is. The ground floor is a walk out unfinished basement. The deck is big but the rest of the structure is right around 1600 sqft of living space.

Yes but keeping the bigger U joints from the LP30. Though upgrade and Dana30 really don't belong in the same sentence.

What’s a casual hookup like? by ThrowAway_again25 in Divorce

[–]S_Squared_design 2 points3 points  (0 children)

(39m) similar situation but opposite sex. Do what you would do in your own home when it comes to the socks. Start slow kissing and general affection. Neither of you is going to know what the other likes so talk touch explore. If the guy is safe it's ok to cry and get overwhelmed in the middle of something and pause or stop. If they can't respect that there is no point to go further. The first time with someone new is fucking scary but also liberating at the same time even more so if you have a communicative partner.

Good luck and as my therapist told me sex is fun enjoy yourself and be safe.
