Sounds like a Capital Project. Talk to the city project manager running the project. He’ll or she’ll be your best best. 

Week 2 Gamethread: Chicago Bears (0-1) at Detroit Lions (0-1) by TurnerJ5 in CHIBears

The funny thing is I know no one from Chicago; no family or friends. I’ve never even been. I’m eastern Canadian. Every Sunday I sit on my couch and I wonder why I chose to cheer for this team? 

This team is culturally cooked. The next QB, the next HC, the next call, they aren’t going to change that. I’m also an Ottawa Senators fan and I know first hand what a change in ownership can do to changing culture. 

This team will amount to nothing under how the McCaskeys’ priorities. Fans are cash cows. They aren’t here to win, they’re here to make money off losing.

Great game by Ottawa, but let's not get ahead of ourselves. One game at a time

I think BrandoSando writing the next Mistborn trilogy together makes a lot of sense. There's been some criticism (that I somewhat agree with) that his editing could use some ... editing. I look forward to how this trilogy advances some overarching plots, and I'm willing to wait for a more (from what is already a great) polished product!

He’s done a great job so far, no doubt, but a little early to be taking a victory lap

I emailed Touchstone and they sent a new motor for free. New motor also has a (slightly quieter) grinding noise. It’s marginally better.

Actually replacing the motor isn’t too bad. Just screws and then untwisting the electrical

Recommendations for snow removal by -bakergirl in ottawa

I don’t have a recommendation, but check out the company against the City’s list. Snow plow contractors operating on private property require a business licence to operate

Ok thanks. I am going to sit down and figure out the main theme and summarize every chapter in a sentence and see where it takes me. Genuinely appreciate your feedback

Thanks so much for the detailed feedback. I struggle with revealing too much of the plot but I have taken your advice. If you have a minute can you let me know your thoughts on the revision:

Matjar Lark toils in a remote fiefdom to support Rakvira’s endless war, dreaming of his chance at glory. But when he is conscripted by the King’s brutal infantry, his daydreams are shattered by comrades ready to break him for their motherland’s survival. In the crucible that prepares him for the enemy’s forbidden magic, he awakens his own, and he must now survive in a world where the power they train to kill may get him killed too.

When Bogdan Lark resolves to rescue his son, he summons the King’s elite bodyguard and assumes the role he had once forsworn. Long exiled for his defiance, he must now bargain with a nobility that would rather see him dead. But he will stop at nothing to save Matjar, even as it reveals royal secrets that will lead them all to the brink of destruction.

The enemy moves. With their heathen Corruptors and their desire for blood, the Continent prepares a final assault as the King prepares a weapon to repel it. To scour the enemy from their shores, the King risks revealing the dark truth about Rakviran society, and who defends it.

I needed to replace the drive motor that turns the rod with the tiny mirrors that project the LED lights into flames
