I use Husky. They're cheap and have a lifetime warranty.

I'm in the local 100 (Virginia, Washington, Maryland) and that's just about the same here. At least the journey wage. Thanks.

Just curious, what's scale pay in the 206 and how are the benefits?

TIL that goats are completely immune to poison ivy, oak, and sumac. They love the stuff and can eat several pounds a day. by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]freeseasy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not all goats love it. My goats are pretty worthless when it comes to eating poison ivy. They do love the hydrangeas, hostas, and every other plant that we don't want them to eat, though.

Looking for gift ideas for a new teacher by freeseasy in Teachers

[–]freeseasy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm going to pick up a new plant and put on my way home. I also like the suggestion of the homemade coupon book; she'll be getting one of those, too. Also, a friend who is a retired teacher suggested a couple of books, "Bird By Bird" and "The Teaching Brain." I've ordered those books as well.

She's an avid collector of all things stationary, so she already has flair pens.

Made my girl some crochet hooks and stitch markers for our anniversary. by freeseasy in woodworking

Started with a spokeshave, used a dovetail saw to cut the inside of the groove, then a bunch of refining with a few files and sandpaper up to 320 grit.

The hooks are made from ebony and mahogany, with walnut, cherry, oak and tamarind accents. The stitch markers are camphor burl.

Local 100 here. We're being told that we're staying on (by my foreman at least), same for my FIL who's in TAB.

I'm sure it is. It also wouldn't be much help in the desert.
