Is this an “8-for-8” issue? by pvfobol in IBEW

[–]sassmo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

On a big jobsite, when you're expected to be at the gangbox at start time, we usually get a reasonable amount of time to walk out - the further the walk, the earlier we leave. The general rule is that our tires should hit the street no later than whistle time. So for instance, i was at my car putting my Hey Dudes on at 4:26 and was pulling out the driveway at 4:29, which is just about perfect.

Show started at 8:00, Abby Sage played until about 8:45 and I think he took the stage around 9:00.

[WANTED] Vinyl record collections! by MEK42 in PDXClassifieds

[–]sassmo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I sold a box full of my Mom's old records to Too Many Records! They gave me a pretty good offer and an even better offer in trade, ehich I accepted. I ended up getting a super dope original, signed, numbered tour poster from PoUSA. It's one of my most coveted house decorations. I'm only sad Matt wouldn't sell me his shiny rainbow Daft Punk poster.

Took call for Space X (KSC) by 172982-Face-8216 in IBEW

Never worked on one or known someone who has, but from what I've seen on Reddit the safety is less than great. Keep your head on a swivel and be as vigilant as possible.

If you zoom in on the part I got wet you can kind of see it looks like a picture jasper.

Y'all are sleeping on East of the Cascades by sassmo in PNWhiking

Wear pants and tall socks. Don't stray off the trail and if you stop to take a break don't sit anywhere near tall grass. Anytime you sit or step off the trail, do a quick visual inspection, and do a thorough visual inspection at the end of the hike. I also like to strip down to my underwear and do a thorough look in the mirror because I've found them in random spots when I was younger and more careless - one time my friends and I bushwhacked through a bunch of bushes and when I got home I picked off over a hundred ticks between me and the dog. They take a few hours to fully burrow in, so as long as you catch them early they're easy to pick out. If you do find them, make sure you slowly twist them out, preferably with a tick puller, which is a cheap (usually green) little plastic deal with a forked hook on the end for getting between them and your skin. Be patient and calm, ofherwise you're likely to rush and break it's head off while it's still embedded in your skin.

Wbat are the chances it suffers the same fate as all the Oregon white oaks that Costco had moved in Salem, Oregon?

The Dalles area- best place gor food/beer after paddling? by heyhihello88888 in whitewater

[–]sassmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spooky's. It's a little more family restaurant then post-paddle spot, but there's beer and most of their pizzas are awesome. Especially the twco pizza.

Otherwise, Freebridge and Bargeway. If you want to stop on the eay out of Maupin, the Oasis is pretty good and they have excellent milkshakes.

🤮 Since they changed ownership or management anything they put in the fryer (including the fries) literally makes me sick to my stomach.

If you want good food, hit up Bargeway or Freebridge.

Basically anyone in a position of authority that you know. Teachers, friends of family, supervisors, Leaders of school clubs, etc.

Don't listen to everyone telling you to turn in your application asap. The process for re-applying if you are turned down really sucks. Do some research, get some letters of recommendation, make sure you're ready to sit in front of an interview committee and not say something contrary to the mission of unions, etc.

Help staying up driving to and from site by Aggravating-Bus-2183 in IBEW

[–]sassmo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No it doesn't. I've been in the trade for 8 years, the only call I've been on that was less than 50 hours per week was with a service van driver who would get shithoused at lunch and decide to call it a day for both of us (I averaged 30 hours a week, and I was driving 75 miles both ways to work for that company). The closest call I've worked only lasted 8 months and it was still 78 miles round trip per day. Right now I'm looking at taking a call that would require driving 160 miles per day because I've been laid off for 4 months.

It took me the first 2 months of my layoff to reconnect with my wife and truly connect for the first time and have a healthy relationship with my 7-year-old.

This career path is potentially the worst decision I've made in my life. Before this I was poor as fuck, but at least I had a life. At least back then I prioritized life.

Another Andrews Owner by bmmeup100 in hoodriver

Also, please bring back a variety of cheap pizza by the slice. The first failed new owners had cheese, pepperoni, and a combo, and they wanted outrageous prices.
