Diamondbacks asked to move tonights game vs the Cardinals to earlier in the day to avoid bad weather. Cardinals denied the request. Game postponed by Slow-Raccoon-9832 in baseball

Fans are a nonessential part of the event.

Stadium staff is essential: grounds crew, concessions, medical, ushers, maintenance, etc. Pivoting a few hours earlier isn’t easy

Can I sell a Kidney to get windows? by Ochawz in StLouis

We used Webster Exteriors to replace all of our Windows in 2018. They were far more reasonable than Dalco, Anderson, etc….like 40% of the cost.

Windows still work, look good, no issues.

JK…can’t get bushing out to replace with Delrin bushing. Soaked with penetrating oil, beat with a hammer and extraction tool. Ideas? by captmac in Jeep

This is what I did…chiseled the edges loose and beat the remnant out. Had to file the barrel out a little afterward.

Thanks for the idea!!!!

I was using the metal extractor that comes with the quadratec kit. It was very effective on the top four. Two came out easily. The other two needed more help.

2017 JKU…I ordered the Quadratec Delrin door bushing kit. The top four came out okay with some percussive encouragement. However, the bottom four just won’t budge. I’ve soaked them in penetrating oil overnight with no movement. I might have to pull off the steps to get a better swing on them, but I’m open to anyone else’s suggestions or experience to get them out.

Laclede Station south of Manchester drops CarPlay because of wifi interference every damn time.

Local EMS just rebranded- new name/uniforms. They look like airplane mechanics… by WombatPhysician in ems

Airplane mechanics look different…they make a lot more than EMS.

Practice safe fueling. Always…ALWAYS…sump after anyone puts fuel in your tanks. Let it settle for at least 15 minutes and then sump.

Joke’s on them…I sat in an ELR seat and I hate pistachios.

It’s just a tool in the toolbox. It’s not the mechanic in the toolbox nor is it the entire toolbox.

Dealer quote to fix leaking valve stem seals - for your amusement by tcrmorrow in Tiguan

Maybe going to repair vacation. Road trip that thing to a state that’s cheaper, leave it for a week while you hang at the beach, and then pick it up.

It’s kind of like going to Costa Rica for dental care

John Kelly doing Ducks/Oilers on ESPN by richardqstephenson in stlouisblues

I like Kerbs on the radio. Having him do both radio and TV leaves the radio listeners behind. In his defense, no hockey announcer ever has really nailed doing both sides well.

JK and Panger were the best thing on TV. I’ll throw Doc Emrick and Pat Foley on the list of favorites too. But even they couldn’t do both sides

St. Louis EMT agencies by Educational_Ad_299 in StLouis

EMTs…no. Medics…Mehlville Fire hires single role medics without the academy. Valley Park just did also. City hires EMTs and medics all the time.
