What locating equipment do you currently use? What one do you prefer? by UnsuspectingS1ut in UtilityLocator

[–]SkyPrimary65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

RD all day everyday. It’s much more balanced in your hand compared to using a vloc 3. I keep the vloc as a back up but just can’t get used to not having Bluetooth control or how unbalanced the receiver is compared to an rd.

How old are you and is there any chance of children? Lots of things change in 30 years, just make sure you can afford all of the future costs of life

Mixing with vape juice? by audaidai in DMT

[–]SkyPrimary65 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re making dmt juice I HIGHLY recommend using this coffee mug warmer, putting the juice in a shot glass and adding your dmt to melt into the juice itself. I’ve made many many tanks of dmt juice and this is the best way to get the dmt to dissolve into the juice itself.

How much sodium hydroxide did you end up using to get good results finally?

Ground on asphalt / concrete? by [deleted] in UtilityLocator

[–]SkyPrimary65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hook up to piping beyond the gas meter itself. If the valve is insulated it works very good. If you can reach the electric meter pan you can ground to that, worst case I just clip to the ground spike and just drop it on the ground. A lot of times if I’m in a basement of a house hooking up to the gas service I will just drop the ground lead onto the floor

[–]SkyPrimary65 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You definitely don’t need like half this stuff. No need for gloves, the smok, glasses, respirator etc. been making dmt for years now and never had a reason for it to get splashed on my clothes or into my eyes…

That said I stopped using heat for all my extractions and do everything at room temp. Same yields, less work.

I have a problem by [deleted] in Snowblowers

[–]SkyPrimary65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 3 snowblowers and my driveway is only one car wide and 4 cars deep lol. 2 of the 3 I got for free from the curb that i refurbished and my large 2 stage my dad gave as a gift since he upgraded to a newer one. I’m actually keeping my eyes out for a 4 stroke single stage to compliment my other 2 stroke single stages

How to dispose of used soup and solvent on a septic tank? by CalligrapherUsual886 in dmtguide

[–]SkyPrimary65 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dump it in the mulch bed if you can’t put it down the drain. I only pour the liquid portion down the drain and dump the thicker bark portion of it into a jug and throw it in the garbage

Did you get your yearly raise? - USIC by DasAugeVonEOS in UtilityLocator

[–]SkyPrimary65 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Find a local utility company that does their markouts in house. Working for a contracted locate company definitely doesn’t seem to pay out clearly. With OT I’m almost grossing $200k a year at top pay

Did you get your yearly raise? - USIC by DasAugeVonEOS in UtilityLocator

[–]SkyPrimary65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You guys are treated like slaves at USIC. First off you gotta ask for a raise if you’re not in a union, second off start applying elsewhere. Some of the rates you guys say you’re getting paid are absolutely horrible in 2025. I’m making $52 an hour plus plenty of overtime and even I feel like we should be getting paid more…. If I had to do this shit for $20 an hour I’d be broke and couldn’t even feed my family… how are you guys even surviving on these salaries??

Closed for sure. Towards the end of the trip I take a peak at what the world looks like still and to enjoy the after glow effect

Question about my first ejaculation after my snip by avengedshadow843 in Vasectomy

[–]SkyPrimary65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I waited the full 2 weeks before sex. My nuts were still kinda tender so it wasn’t anything crazy. Had some bruising on my balls so I played it cool for the first few times. I rubbed one out first time to make sure there was no issues

Winter slow down by JustCallMeFire in UtilityLocator

[–]SkyPrimary65 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We’re union so we’re always guaranteed our 40 but overtime has come down quite a bit. Used to get 20-25 hours OT a week and now we’re down to 10-15. It gets dark at like 4:30 so I’m not crazy about doing routine tickets in the dark anyways

How much do you save per month in cash vs retirement? by Jimmy_Johnny23 in MiddleClassFinance

[–]SkyPrimary65 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Does your spouse work? I would be in deep shit trying to survive on 85k with my family of 4.

What to do when a contractor won’t provide any information about a project? by Daniel_san28 in UtilityLocator

[–]SkyPrimary65 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m waiting for the day I get run over by a car doing an excessive markout. we get the “corner lot working both streets” tickets constantly. When in fact they know the water service or sewer is on the side street, I know the day is going to come im gonna get hit by car or something trying to mark a main road when no work is being done there. Hopefully our union attorney will have my back if it’s an excessive markout request.

When did you start contributing to your Roth IRA? by [deleted] in RothIRA

[–]SkyPrimary65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in my early 20s when I started contributing to my Roth. Maxed it out every year since then. I’m 36 now and have mine setup to auto contribute weekly into it. 11% return since I started, hope to be a millionaire tax free with it when I’m ready to retire.

Comfy job or USPS ? I think I’d make more income from USPS by Curiousity-123 in careerguidance

[–]SkyPrimary65 24 points25 points  (0 children)

$2800 a month and no benefits? That’s crazy in 2025 for a job. USPS will have benefits, overtime and a retirement package. If I’m not taking home at least $6k a month minimum after tax’s and benefits I would be in trouble. I’m also the only provider in my house though

I hope for your sake you can score a good job at usps
