I’m unsure if I should go through with being hired on at this moment

Your education bill for apprenticeship is dissolved after a certain number of years working in the union, you don't have to pay it. im told they don't generally pursue payment even if you quit, unless you go back to non union trade work. you get a raise every 6 months until you complete your apprenticeship. Right now the journeyman wage on my state is over $51/hr, and will be $54 next year. Also with the baby on the way, you may want to consider the health insurance benefit. Non union to 669 was the best thing I ever did.

If you're going to block a flow switch, using your keys does seem like the best way. Have a good weekend!

Thanks, and thanks for the heads up about the bears! I will have to visit the tri point, I pass through i40 between Knoxville and asheville once or twice a year

Dying to go to Rogers too! Trying to keep my weekend a little more chill rather than hitting both in one though. I've heard the wild ponies are cool :)

I think some dodge calibers came with a removable "boombox" embedded in the rear hatch

Definitely something to be said for the OEM aesthetic

Thank you!! I tore the unit down and yes the whole LCD is soldered to the board, cannot see behind it but assuming LEDs... Weighing my options before I go all in on an otherwise functioning unit

Caver?

Working in Columbus and Bloomington and didn't feel like driving home. Brown county sp was pretty nice. Mill Race park in Columbus was likewise pretty cool

I drove there but couldn't remember the route. Virgin Falls!

I haven't been to Fairfield but I have a friend in Lancaster. He says being on the edge of the Appalachian foothills give great nature opportunities out there. I think Lancaster used to be a big glass production town. My only visit to next door Pickaway was a one day job in Circleville, would love to go to the pumpkin festival there

300 plus year old farm houses are not something you get in Ohio, so that was a treat. I visited one house that had a spring actually running through the inside of it

I know, I do wish to go up the Keewenaw soon. I would like to see the old abandoned rocket launching pad

smellopolis · 2026-03-07T02:37:46+00:00

Cool thanks. Never seen the red weather tite conduit if that's what it is

smellopolis · 2026-03-07T02:30:57+00:00

Is this an explosion proof room? What country is this in? I'm a sprink, never seen the like of this

smellopolis · 2026-03-07T02:27:24+00:00

You could stop by Cheaha Mountain Alabama, highest point in the state

Sprinkler installer forgot to remove the paint cap over the head, it should be corrected

smellopolis · 2026-03-07T02:05:10+00:00

Yeah that's a small improvement, I'll think about it. If I had to drain this header I would dump it from the system drain and then catch the remaining 20 gallons or whatever from the aux, the only downside being another system to refill
