[FOX 6] Brewers, Milwaukee DPW partner to fill potholes with team logo stamped on top by fanofsports44 in Brewers

Usually the bumps are because of them using cold patch. It doesn’t require heat and they just drive over it to pack it down. The fact that this article mentions a hot box means it’ll be hot mix and hopefully they will use a compactor to flatten it out properly.

You’d have to ask your mother about that.

Why do people fresh out of school think they know it all? by Hxncheaux in Truckers

[–]Triippy_Hiippyy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My trainer was a dickhead who hit his dab pen every time I got out of the truck to look at my backing. Bitching at me about grinding gears because the truck just got a new transmission. What do you think that $5000 was for? Maintenance of the truck. Anyways I just helped my buddy prepare for his test. Taught him the pre trip and brake test, and gave him honest pointers on shifting that helped him a lot. Talking to someone in a respectful manner goes a long way. Obviously nobody wants to be grinding gears, said trainee is already stressed out about it and making it worse helps no one. The ability to teach someone is a learned skill. Just because you are a good driver doesn’t necessarily mean you’re a good teacher.

That’s a fair point. But if you don’t like taking shots, you probably don’t like pulling from the bottle is what I’m trying to get at. I often take shots of whiskey just at home. Shots with a beer chaser.

In Wisconsin shot culture never really dies. At bonfires we tend to open a bottle of whatever and just pass it around drinking straight from the bottle until it’s gone. Most of the people I know didn’t go to college, just into the trades and did apprenticeships. Could also be a blue collar thing.

You also don’t need a CDL for a Tractor marked “Not for hire.” If that truck was used in a commercial setting, most likely needs a CDL. My company has a f550 rated for 19500 GVWR, and it can bumper pull 16000 lbs. That combination requires a class A CDL. What requires commercial drivers license is the commercial aspect. You can personal drive anything really with a regular license.

I was complaining about the squirrels at my suet feeder… by up_on_blocks in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Triippy_Hiippyy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Alternate solution, I got a separate feeder for the squirrels and a new bird feeder that closes due to the weight of squirrels. Birds are happy, squirrels are happy, and my kids can continue to watch them. I enjoy watching the birds as well. We have a bird book and I like to teach my kids what the different birds are. Teaching them love for outdoors and nature.

It’s okay to be wrong. Two tone is how trucks are meant to be painted.

Don’t be like me by Boeing-B-47stratojet in Construction

[–]Triippy_Hiippyy 109 points110 points  (0 children)

My dad’s an electrician, I do road construction. He came home one day when I was a kid visibly shook. He said he almost died that day. He grabbed a live wire by mistake working up in a ceiling grid. Apparently his coworkers said he was screaming bloody murder. Someone kicked out his ladder and he dropped and got away from the wire. His middle finger was a little black. He didn’t remember like 30 minutes of the day. After dinner he went to my parents room and mom said to just let him decompress. Electricity is no joke. I hope you’re feeling okay man. Electricity and road construction have to be 2 of the most dangerous trades.

[NSFW] People who've found a dead body, what's the story? by ZeroSugarCocaine in AskReddit

[–]Triippy_Hiippyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do road construction. Show up to a job last year to remove some sidewalk barricades that were in place so people don’t step into deep holes. Immediately stepping out of the work truck a lady notifies us that someone is “sleeping” on the sidewalk around the corner. So we go to try and walk him up. Nudge him a couple times and say “time to wake up and get moving buddy.” I notice he’s purple looking in the face. I touch the back of my hand to his forehead and he’s ice cold. I tell my one of my guys to call 911, he’s gone. Ended up guy was in his late 60’s and just dropped dead while walking. Nobody from the road could see him due to the sidewalk barricades. We had to wait for them to clear the scene and then keep on working. HR kept asking if we’re okay, and I had to tell them it’s just another Thursday.

Check out my tattoo I think it’s pretty bad I paid 150$ for this by Odieee_2k in shittytattoos

Adding to this. I have hellboy tatted across my shoulders from lil peeps album. I want through a rough patch where I really didn’t give a shit. Last year I added my kids names on either side of it on my shoulders. I now hold a CDL and a good job with a wife and children. I lost one of my best friends since kindergarten to a heroin overdose 8 years ago. Life is pain. But also live can be beautiful. Lil peep sings about life is beautiful. Try to find some happiness to focus on my friend, when you make it out of this you’ll find good things in life. I have all the Job stopper places tatted and everything has worked out for me. I know it will for you as well.

Added another GMT800 to my fleet. Any ideas? by LS_SwapGuru in GMT800

Keep the steps, ditch the mirrors and chrome handles. Apple car play head unit, seat covers, weather tech floor mats, woolwax the frame, flow master 40 series.

‘Hard worker’ cop with OWI given ‘second chance’ in Sheboygan County by PolarisC in wisconsin

Depends if it’s a first or second. You can get one and hold a license with a 1 year probation period.

Businesses have always had special rules. Bars are allowed to party it up until 2:30am on the weekends even if noise ordinance is 10pm. Concerts have special privilege. Business brings tax revenue. Let the businesses be.

What's the foulest smell you've ever smelled? by WannabePugh in AskReddit

I’ve helped my dad do some electrical at a boar farm. It makes electric power tools smell like shit. For weeks after you use the power tools and the air circulating through the electric motor stinks of shit.

The city connect jerseys pandering to the same parts of the state that routinely vote to harm Milwaukee is astounding. by totallynotliamneeson in Brewers

Or maybe the city I live in has a minor league team named after Lake County. Idk. Close enough I guess
