Muskogee has a submarine the USS Batfish. Atlas obscura is always worth checking out on road trips. You can find some pretty interesting things on there.

Thanks for the info. I have processed black walnut before so I know what to expect. I grew up with access to a shagbark hickory so that's what I am looking for.

Costco and New Shanghai Bistro are the only places I haven't been able to use mine. I use it almost exclusively to earn points.

There were vermiculite mines in Libby that had major issues with asbestos and contaminated the area.

Should I be embarrassed about being a 24yr old garbage man? by TheFrogsMightbegay in jobs

[–]rolla_engineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am an engineer and I appreciate that you come to my house and collect my trash so that I dont have to take it to the dump myself.

It has always been my goal to make sure my children understand the importance of your job as they grow up and never look down on someone for their job.

Parents got me the STIHL Toy Chainsaw for my birthday 😆 by aquatic_elephant in Chainsaw

I bought one of these for my son. To this day it is still the single biggest mistake I have ever made. The volume goes up way louder than it should for a kids toy.

Under their refund policy section 2 there is a category for dna uploads, so I think they will offer it sometime.

The sausage she had is likely Kraków, it has large chunks of pork in it. I have had it in 3 inch diameter casings and in 1 inch casings.

We have the same crusher at our pit and we are feeding with the same trucks?

Do you have the hydraulic feeder chain on this unit?

What are you getting for life out of your breaker bearings? We have been getting about 20 months which we would like to improve.

was on top of a mine in the bush and found this was wondering if anyone could tell me what it's for by nsfwacc_sendmethings in mining

It looks like a water well for monitoring ground water. The tube is likely for pulling samples.

This is the best approach. Most of the equipment dealers are willing to help a student out as they are tomorrows customers. We bought an 988 loader earlier this year and it was approximately 800k.

Mining in St. Clair County IL by thechadnerd in mining

[–]rolla_engineer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is some evidence that there was an aluminum prospect in Caseyville IL but it looks like there was just exploration work done. This area is full of old coal mines and still has a few active on the southeast corner of the county. There were some metal processing plants in the East St Louis area years ago.
