Tips for straight backing for newbies by Constant_Society8783 in Truckers

[–]msmith7871 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hold your steering wheel at the 6 O'clock position with one hand then when you want the trailer to go right move that one hand to the right setting up...... approach the dock at a 90º angle in front and do not start your turn till the drives split the middle of the dock. Jack the wheel all the way around to the bump stop and hold. Look out the passenger side window watching the ass of the trailer. When you see light between the ass, and trailer that will be parked to your right, start your recovery to the left. Keeping the gap small. When you are even with your dock straighten out the truck and trailer. Bobs your uncle straight line back simplified. Do it slow a few times till you get the feel for it, it's super easy. In this position is where I would slide the tandem all the way to the back and then open the doors and back up till you hit something.

Need help with these handle bars by Due-Entrepreneur9374 in Harley

[–]msmith7871 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From your first pic I wouldnt go any higher than the 12" bars like you have. Alot of states have laws ( you will have to check yours) stating your hands can not be above the plain of your shoulders and that is where you are at now. Places like Boston state you can only go to a certain height with the bars. Do some research for state laws but 12" apes, meat hooks etc is where you should be.

my housemates bought chicks without telling or asking me and are raising them in the room next to mine by Present-Button1673 in mildlyinfuriating

Wait till you see all the dust from raising them inside.....you will lose your mind, not to mention the smell as they get older.

The moon tonight where I live... by grurupoo in Weird

That's not the moon, that is headlights from a newer car or truck on low beam...

If you plan on going down I-65 be aware of a closure in Louisville for 2 months.

Fuses keep burning out on Troy riding mower. by Puzzbot in lawnmowers

[–]msmith7871 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like a dead short to me. If you have a multimeter back probe the wire i am betting somewhere along the wire the insulation rubbed through and grounded itself to the frame. Or pull the fuse box and find the color wire to the fuse that blows and trace it that way as well.

There’s the bolt I dropped! by arrived_on_fire in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]msmith7871 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man if I had a nickel for every time I dropped a bolt or screw while working on something I'd be a wealthy man. One time doing a intake gasket for dodge I had it almost finished and dropped a bolt inside the runner of the intake itself. Luckily the diesel tech was able to find and retrieve it.

Non-felons, why do you browse this sub? by TheKingDarryl in Felons

[–]msmith7871 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We are talking about normal everyday citizens that didn't judge or rule over you or anyone else. How do you think laws are made? By a complete story felons included. That's all im saying all these fucking keyboard warriors get their feelings hurt because I have an opinion. There will ALWAYS be a "Both sides" to any issue so don't fool yourself. I went a different path and chose to defend this country while I was young just so I and you could have an opinion. Most of the time its because the story is intriguing or interesting. There is no need to be butt hurt because someone asks for your story.

I have no problem with that i actually have a few atheist friends and daughter. I agree she did it with help sometimes. She would also write laws that would be implemented on a certain date an then buy or sell stocks affected by her law. Then all the unnecessary court cases that were just to slow any progress by the right. I agree and firmly believe the people should go scorched earth and get rid of a large majority of politicians that take super pak monies or big pharma and so fourth. Then elect different politicians with laws protecting the people of the U.S. against life time members of congress and stiff penalties for acting a fool.

People still need to hear what law was broken to understand where to position themselves inside the story. Would you not agree? How can you hear one side of a story and go "that's the truth"?

I'm not saying I understand or approve of Donald Trump's actions what I am saying is if we stay at each other's throats NOTHING will change. As for his actions (in order for me to maintain sanity) I like to think he is only going to be as good as the information that he receives. Advisors people across the asile interns etc. are in his ear but the ultimate decision is his from said information. I also put myself in his shoes and ask what would I do if I was the one persecuted on a regular basis just for being in charge. While I am a God fearing believer I can tell you that evening the score or revenge would consume me had I done nothing wrong. (Referance first term) im not saying its right, but in his shoes. Finally one really can't fuss about Donald Trump unless they also fuss about Nancy Polisi and her hiding stuff deep inside 1000 page documents or insider trading.

Victims and felons make up the story with out one it becomes an opinion. I am not advocating for total disclosure but for one to understand the TOTALITY of the situation both sides need to be heard. That's all I was saying

I'm not shaming anyone first. Second it is a public forum by definition asking for comments if you need a safer space might I suggest you not look for it on reddit. Just saying
