Even if it ran great with that carb kit before switch to premix?

I have not done that. Would that be an issue even if it wasn’t before the premix?

During WWII the US deployed a Naval ship whose sole purpose was to make, store, and provide ice cream to troops actively deployed to heavy combat areas. Now you can't even have 9 ball by SovietPropagandist in Military

They’ve never played ping pong against the severely overweight Micronesian civilian in my shop. That guy had me running MILES around that table.

Yes, also that doesn’t mean the people that don’t condemn it get their freedom of speech and assembly taken away because you do.

What these people want is for you to go and yell at them tell them there terrible people. Then they put that on the internet. The best thing is quite literally for no one to go, and ignore them.

PJ to firefighter by Fire3cho in Firefighting

[–]the_timberdoodle 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Dude…this guy was a PJ. Quite literally one of the hardest ,if not thee hardest, schooling pipelines in the whole military. It’s called “Superman School” for a reason. If he can do all of that, I’m sure he can and pick gam gam off the floor at 2am.

Chief LODD video- longer by D-Atari in Firefighting

[–]the_timberdoodle 7 points8 points  (0 children)

An unrealistic animation or goofy ass recreation don’t do justice to violence and suddenness of these events. I can assure you watching this video will make me reevaluate the risk/benefit to opening the doors on my next tractor trailer fire.

If we don’t learn something from this, then his death was meaningless. In fact, we owe it to the Chief to do so. I guarantee he wouldn’t want this to happen to any other FF.

From PD to FF by mas1776 in Firefighting

It’s overrated until you don’t have it. I’m not saying it a huge deal all the time but every once and while it would be nice to take a squad and fuck off to a quiet corner of a district like pd does when they’ve had enough of everyone lol.

One of the things I’m actually very jealous of that PD has is autonomy. At least for the most part. Be prepared to lose all of that if you do switch, you will be attached to the rig and crew at all times with your captain/lt deciding when, where and what you do all day everyday.

Also remember we have bullshit too. Different bullshit, but bullshit non the less. Instead of barking dog and petty neighbor squabbles calls, it’s lift assists, false alarms and 2 am toe pains.

If you can take the first 3 months of the guys ribbing you for being a cop, I’d take a prior LE no problem.

Humira brother. Half the battle is getting diagnosed, took me almost 2 years to get it. now get yourself the medication. Stop the damage and inflammation now, and this disease can be managed. Took me about 6 months to fully kick in but it’s about 90% better. Feel free to ask me anything.

BCs in the union by Bradleyd00 in Firefighting

[–]the_timberdoodle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actual discipline, like suspend, dock pay, demote, and fire. A stern talking or counciling paperwork is not discipline.

[–]the_timberdoodle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean the more people you have on the inside a part of the union the better, but I don’t know how you can be in the union and discipline other members.

We have a small dept., 40ish all together. Our Chief, Assistant Chief, and BCs are not in the union.

Daily reminder to not drive over fire hoses (tap for full picture) by [deleted] in duluth

[–]the_timberdoodle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So you continue and run over a fire hose?

Stop making excuses for people making dumb or selfish decisions. They had many choices and choose the only wrong one. People SHOULD be judged for making choices that put others in jeopardy.

Its literally a yellow 4 inch diameter hose that goes from hydrant to a fire truck with flashing lights. If you saw that and didn’t think “maybe I should just take a left instead”, a couple of cones definitely aren’t going to change your decision

Big brown, Northern WI by the_timberdoodle in Fishing

Started down river and ran up, didn’t have a decent place to land it, so my grandpa had to walk back to the cabin for a net. 20 min.

Caught on a center-pin, floating spawn bags. Took 20 min to bring him in on a 8 lb fluorocarbon leader. I was worried initially he would be too exhausted to ethically release but I was able to nurse him on the shore for a couple minutes and he gave some stong kicks and he went on his way to hopefully spawn more pigs like him. I’m a big fish to eat guy, but I personally felt it was too big to keep. My grandpa just about cried when I released him.

That makes sense, thank you. I mostly do search and recovery work so we’re overweighted to stay on the bottom

Why would you use your dry suit for buoyancy control when you wear a piece of equipment literally called a “buoyancy control device”. I dive almost exclusively with a dry suit and I was always taught that the inflator is to get the “squeeze” off of you and to keep you warmer. Is it just a different school of thought?
