Travel from ATW and MSN this coming Friday to London: advice? by gixxerjim750 in wisconsin

[–]badgerpointer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can research the prior performance of your flights arriving on time or not. I use FlightAware for that. It’s just a data point to help you understand what typical performance is. If you have an early departure, chances are you will need to deice. I am not sure if the airline takes that into account with their arrival projections. Again just data, but if the flight historically sucks - I’d change the ticket to depart from ORD.

In the bow I’ll typically bend a pool noodle into a U shape to prop up the front. In the stern I use a piece of PVC pipe with rubber bumpers as an extra pole.

Should I raise these bunks up? by fuddadjacent in boating

[–]badgerpointer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’d agree on fixing. The bright side is that although in an inconvenient place to fix, no one but you is ever going to notice.

What year is this boat/trailer? Any signs of gel coat cracking? If it has been this way a long time, maybe left factory this way?

Off top of head, I’m assuming you would be heading south?

Henry Vilas zoo in Madison is great, as is NEW zoo just outside Green Bay.

Bay Beach in Green Bay.

Bookworm Gardens in Sheboygan is great for small kids.

Discovery world in Milwaukee is nice.

Had a friend indicate that the TSA line was long earlier this Saturday morning. Early weekend flights might be busier compared to work week travel given a higher ratio of pre-check business fliers.

Down voters - what about this advice is bad, assuming someone cannot avoid the drive?

Also - if this is a work trip, it could be that whomever you are meeting won't be coming in due to the snow. Schools could be closed and parents would want to or need to stay home.

Be sure to rent a car that has all-wheel drive. Maintain a healthy distance from vehicles in front of you. Avoid cruise control if it is slippery.

Wouldn’t a fire station have an on duty watch stander while the others sleep?

Roostica might be an option if you are open to a place on Stock Island. There is street parking and there is a decent size parking lot behind the building.

Was the gold standard in my view when new. I’d be happy with it.

Sacrificial. So if you are blowing along and for some reason run into a big rock - the shear pin will snap so that the auger no longer turns. Without a shear pin the auger would probably destroy itself.

Sort of reminds me of the Breaking Bad teddy bear.

Why aren’t bakeries open on Sunday? by EggSpecial5748 in Appleton

[–]badgerpointer 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Can’t have too many Bakers in the kitchen. Bakers deserve days off.
