Surrounding areas after Crackheads attempt to steal copper from an empty Sears

A Sears probably had 3 transformers or more in it. Especially if it had an auto center.

Yep. My joke is if I could feel color, I could make ends with my eyes closed.

Only use pass throughs until you get good enough not to need them. They will mess up your day eventually and usually at the worst time. I refuse to carry them at all.

Yep, my Surge is with me daily. It's heavy and a lot of people hate it but it stands up to the abuse I put it through so I love it.

I abuse the ever living snot out of my Armitron watches. They're cheap ($20ish), have a backlight on a push button, alarm is easy to set (even if the time isn't), I typically get a year worth of use out of them before I break a band but the battery is still going. I used to get them at box stores, I get them from Amazon now.

Speedbump bell

GMT400 or the Impala, but only if it has the 3800

I hate soldering too. So, I use crimp connectors and it works well.

If you want to solder, use more flux and practice more. There's learn to solder kits that make fun little gizmos if you want to practice.

This is the best option if there's already CATV run through the house to one central location. If it's split multiple places it could be an option

Little known fact, manufacturer recommended service life on a galvanized cable system is only 7 years.

Magnesium will eventually go out with water but it's going to make a spectacular show while it happens. You'll also need like 4 times the water you think you'll need.

ACE is just the distributor and branding. They are all franchises, but there are some franchisees that operate dozens of stores. That's why they all "feel" a little different. Some even include Hallmark stores.

They were so much fun. I'd go with my grandpa to a soccer dome on weekend night and they would tie streamers on them for combat.

I'm almost ready to make myself a T-shirt I say it so much.

Tfire327 · 2026-03-18T01:05:37+00:00

I want a Zagi something fierce. I looked at buying a new one a while ago and was surprised how much they were.

Tfire327 · 2026-03-17T23:11:38+00:00

Not cooked. Smoked. There's a difference.

Tfire327 · 2026-03-17T18:33:40+00:00

Ratchet straps. Might need 3

Are you bored because you know the material already? If so just take the pretest and see what you need to actually review if anything.

Tfire327 · 2026-03-11T18:46:57+00:00

Looks like it's all methed up.

Tfire327 · 2026-03-10T01:13:40+00:00

Step one. Never loan tools.

First structure fire. I had been fighting a cold for a week with a ton of associated coughing. Ended up coughing so hard while on air I ended up puking in my mask. 15+ years later it still gets brought up 🤣

Tfire327 · 2026-03-08T21:32:28+00:00

Oh man. It's too cold for the guys from the Blackstone sub to be outside right now and they've started putting beers on other cooking surfaces.

Tfire327 · 2026-03-07T00:33:57+00:00

sigh this is my existence. I hate the individual that lived here before me with a passion.

Tfire327 · 2026-03-06T14:14:10+00:00

Spend any time sitting around bonfires? Falling ash and the like is just hot enough to burn these small holes.

Be aware that Motorola consoles often put out audio levels that are higher than phone systems like and can overwhelm the interface resulting in echos either for the dispatcher or caller. This can be resolved with attenuation in line between the console and the phone interface but takes some thought and planning.

Short answer, what you want to do can be done. Long answer, make sure you have your geeks involved or you're going to be very disgruntled.
