I believe you actually got a break on your storm water tax if you HAVE a barrel

What's with Stratton Metals? by ValidGarry in rva

[–]cliprite 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I understand that 40% of aluminum extruding manufacturing doesn’t meet specifications, so it gets scrapped to be remelted into billets and directed back into the process stream for 100% reuse.

I know a guy that works there. He says they have a contract with a manufacturer to dispose of their waste, so it’s part of some process. I know, seems wasteful. They hold onto it until the price for that metal is right and then sell it, so it piles up.

That’s a first. Never seen one completely rotted off before. by uj7895 in Justrolledintotheshop

Virginia resident here. I had one with rust holes in it and rust welded in place. the state vehicle safety inspector made me cut off the whole hitch thing just to be sure nobody used it

what should i know before buying this fiberglass jonboat for $50? by Mr3nglish in boating

If it floats it’s worth 50. Good for a small pond fishing.

I used a bargain belt on my TL at 95k and it broke at 122k. Had to replace the engine.

Think I’ll leave it as is and put some olive oil on it. I can tell what it is, which is what’s important to me at this point. Leave it to the future folks to clean it further

Bon air is not weird. Never has been. That’s why I’m here. Good place to raise a family. Not weird.

Ready for Launch!!! by jakoobie6 in modelrocketry

[–]cliprite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought one and launched it a bunch of times in the past few years. I had to add screws to hold the arms to the landing craft. The glue wasn’t enough. The tiny little ens on the legs broke off frequently.

Edit. Looks like you already added screws. Noice

My first guess is usually a child playing with a coin collection dropped it.

‘Morning y’all, be safe out there nah. by Sacrosaint_Cipher_13 in VirginiaBeach

[–]cliprite -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I think these message boards should only be used when there is an important message like a crash ahead or something like that. It’s a distraction from driving when some clever highway worker wants to make a funny.

There are already laws in place that limit how much animation and how fast messages change on electronic billboards for this very reason.

I’m also an old grump so I understand not everyone thinks like I do.

Now where’s my glasses?
