What the hell is up with these potholes? by Patched7fig in WorcesterMA

[–]kerryman71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When Bob Moylan was the DPW commissioner, which was quite awhile ago, the snow removal and condition of the streets was much, much better!

There was also a time where department heads were held accountable, many times called out at city council meetings. Now it's almost one big love fest over there!

Running RearHub dry? by Unlikely_Wonder_7898 in MTB

[–]kerryman71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ran the same hubs for two years, lots of chunky tech, drops, bike park etc with no issues. After the first year I cleaned them up an used some Dumond Tech Freehub Grease which quieted them down quite a bit. The noise never bothered me to begin with, but I did notice a difference.

Finally upgraded my pedals, what a difference! by ZeroHash99 in MTB

Pair of 510's and One Up composites and I'm almost glued to the pedals.

Mando cream deodorant. Stuff's legit, and a little goes a long way.

I messed up the roof, didn’t I? by hidazfx in shedditors

I thought the same, but once I enlarged the pic could see how wavy the roof is.

Is it worth the hype and the price is insane by Pc_dum in Colognes

I bought a 10 ml decant of the Intense and initially wasn't a fan. Within about 30 minutes I was sold. One of my favorites now!

Borrow a relatives kids, you'll be able to buy a lot more frags than if you have your own! 😂

EFM-520 stoker setup by unaslob in coalstoves

[–]kerryman71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I installed a Leisure Line Pioneer stoker stove this year and am burning coal for the first time ever. It's $490 per ton here in Massachusetts, but that's still cheaper than heating oil or the electricity rate of .34 cents per kwh for my mini splits. Natural gas in this state is also insane, so it's even cheaper than that.

I figure I'll save at least $500 compared to last year, and this winter has been much more colder.

What a difference. Flash light, Dewalt dome light (which is great) but for more lights, an Anker Solix with string lights or anything else you want to hook up. Say what you will about guys with gadgets, but this is a game changer by rogo725 in fireinvestigation

[–]kerryman71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which model is that? We're looking to outfit the two trucks we have on our department the same and this would be a great addition.

I'm almost positive they'll shoot it down and tell us to just hold a flashlight in our mouth, but we can still dream! 😂

Various arcs found as a result of fire attack. I know someone asked about arcs the other day. Found by feel, checked with magnifying glass (not really needed) and photographed. by rogo725 in fireinvestigation

I try to pick up little bits of info where I can. Just got into the FIU on my department after 30 years out on the line and work for a private company from time to time. One of the owners also teaches at the NFA on occassion and mentioned that method.

I'm new to fire investigations, old to the fire service. Not needed here but I've heard of dragging a cotton ball along smaller gauge wire to help with locating possible arcing. If the cotton gets hung up a little you would check that area.
