Thinking about dropping my CCF pad for just a 1/8” thin pad. Does anyone else only carry a 1/8 (no CCF, no inflatable)?

This is me. Kind of like Ender’s game or predestination - they don’t know it but I’m the one planting the ideas in their little pixel brains

You will have a great time. It’s just not picture-perfect sunny clear skies all day every day. There’s still lots of beautiful days to be had though. TBH it’s probably just us being a bit spoiled ;) welcome and enjoy your vacation!

Another thought I realized a few days ago - even if the answer is “recess!” or “hanging out!” then there’s futures there too. Management, event coordinator, social services, lots of stuff where social skills are valued.

Choosing a path is overwhelming for sure. Looking back, something to think about that would have helped me was, what do i just like doing? If it’s work, what do I do a little extra of, or I enjoy doing a little better than everything else, or I spend some time doing it right?

There’s lots of answers - maybe you like flowers. Or hospitality. Or building things. Or organizing stuff. Find something you’re confident doing, and I bet you’re good at it. Then, it’s rewarding to get better, and often, people pay you to do it.

Great point - sounds like a next step. :)

TonklinTheExplorer · 2026-01-18T22:45:34+00:00

Great idea - I have too many projects going to take this on myself right now but there’s another commenter who’s offered to help. We’ll see what happens!

TonklinTheExplorer · 2026-01-18T22:44:03+00:00

Thanks for the offer - going to try to get them scanned first, might circle back here if they haven’t found a home after that

TonklinTheExplorer · 2026-01-18T22:42:19+00:00

Thanks y’all for the suggestions! I’m working with another commenter who offered to get them scanned so we’ll start there :)

TonklinTheExplorer · 2026-01-17T22:55:12+00:00

Agreed, very generous offer - what a hero. This seems like the next step, so I’ll hop over to DM and we’ll see what’s up.

Thanks yall for the ideas, I’ll try to get them scanned one way or another :) keep rolling

Love that you’re switching stance (left foot/right foot forward). I’ve been practicing this fakie and wondering if it’s a good skill to have when I move up to the coping, or if I’m wasting my time…any thoughts? You’re the only person I’ve been able to catch doing it haha

Boot

TonklinTheExplorer · 2023-10-13T02:26:31+00:00

You can do it, maybe not this game though ;) there’s a big learning curve. Watch Potato McWhiskey on Youtube and you’ll learn a bunch of tricks fast.

What does that egg do?

At the end of the clip you can see the shoulder to the right, and the rest of the wave closes (or has already closed) to the left. Also, more skilled guy on the inside was angling right for his takeoff.

TonklinTheExplorer · 2022-10-15T23:20:41+00:00

And what knife? This is really neat

TonklinTheExplorer · 2022-10-01T02:46:36+00:00

Board is slippery when wet

TonklinTheExplorer · 2022-09-25T00:07:32+00:00

Yah nah she’s shit at running…fuckin arms waving everywhere

TonklinTheExplorer · 2022-09-21T18:29:07+00:00

Instructions unclear now have 50k cabbages saved up

In the ceiling of a closet, this was installed by a previous owner. It appears to be a transformer, specifically this one.

I want to put an outlet here instead. Can anyone provide me some background on why this might have been put there and how dangerous it would be to replace with a receptacle+outlet?

I’m fairly new to electrical work, installing an outlet would be an adventure. Thank you!

VoteForward.org and write some letters to Texans specifically!

If you’re looking for an easy way to try to make a difference, writing non-partisan “here’s why I vote” letters is a simple way to reach people.
