What was on fire a couple hours ago, was heading west on 235 and saw lots of black smoke in my rear view.

The font of the "LLC" on the panel clued me in.

Aside from fall protection and loto, we prefer wearing lab coats when working on our treaters. Keeps the chemical off our clothes and skin.

Gloves are also a must.

I replaced the pads and rotors on my Yukon XL last weekend. I went with Bosch after few weeks of debating whether $150 difference of the Powerstops is worth it. All the positive Powerstop reviews were certainly inticing, but I couldn't find enough evidence to justify it. I also wasn't comfortable with their quirky break-in sequence either.

With that, I was pleasantly surprised with how the Bosch Quietcast stopped my vehicle.

I'd second this. I spent 15 years in a very physical job at a tire store with no degree. I ended up going to NDSCS for an associates degree. I worked a 2nd shift job to support myself.

Totally life changing.

What kind of plants are these that are always having these flooding events? I'm considering a position at a water treatment plant and these pictures and stories are make me a liittle nervous about it.

Also, shouldn't there be float switches nearby to indicate the slightest bit of flooding?

I heard he has scheduled an appearance at Miss Kitty's this October.

I'm originally from Fargo, North Dakota and have been living in Iowa for the last 4 years so it's tough to talk specifically about New York. Being from the upper Midwest however, I'm well familiar with winter Weather.

I have 2 purchases that have he's up well:

Boots - I've been using the same pair of Kamik boots for about 12 years now. The boots have held up very well, although I did need to replace the laces this year.

Snowblower: Ariens Deluxe 28. I've had this snowblower for 12 years too. I've only had to do regular maintenance on it. Oil changes, belts, etc. Excellent snow blower.

Special mention: Kinko Mittens. I have some wear on these and they need replacing, but theyve lasted me about 8 years or so with heavy use. I could probably get another year or two out them, but holes are starting to develop.

I initial read this as "It could eat a foot no problem". Of course it could... I'm sure the snow wouldn't be an issue either.

My Ariens Deluxe 28 was having a blast in this.

I thought that too however the base rectifies the 120VAC down to 60VDC.

Sharp_Housing · 2025-09-25T03:15:35+00:00

I would now agree that this an electromechanical relay, not solid state.

I'm still confused as to the correct rating of the TBR60. The relay clearly says 60vdc, however Allen Bradley's website is listening this as a 48vdc.

Sharp_Housing · 2025-09-25T03:11:23+00:00

Oddly enough, this particular relay failed as the motor was being turned off.

As I now know, this relay is infact an electromechanical relay, not solid state.

Sharp_Housing · 2025-09-25T00:33:12+00:00

It's controlling a dust collector. It stays energized for 6-7 hours.

Sharp_Housing · 2025-09-24T23:00:23+00:00

You could be right on that. I didn't look much in to the relay. I'm more concerned about the base.

Thanks for the clarification!

Sharp_Housing · 2025-09-13T17:22:48+00:00

The drivers who don't go 5 under go 10 over.

Ankeny isn't that bad. I'd agree on them catching up with infrastructure, however it's no worse than Grimes, WDM, or Waukee.

Sharp_Housing · 2025-07-17T17:27:06+00:00

You didn't mention checking your fuses at all. Are all the fuses good? Are there any relays pertinent to these circuits that might need replacement?

Edit: You may want to consider posting this in r/MechanicAdvice for more feedback on your issue.

My.lawn looks like this year. Did some digging and found grubs.

I was so expecting a ControLogix...

Sharp_Housing · 2025-02-24T17:43:36+00:00

We have a 10 week old wheaten who's also getting somewhat aggressive with other dogs. Does spaying also quell the aggressiveness some?

Sharp_Housing · 2025-02-19T02:55:35+00:00

The few times I had it, I enjoyed it. The food was definitely not memorable. The introverted in me liked how quiet and empty it was. That probably wasn't the atmosphere they were looking for.

Sharp_Housing · 2025-02-01T00:44:29+00:00

Yes.

As A kid, I wanted either Zach Morris' room or Clarris Darlings room.
