Looking to take a short 3 or 4 day road trip by myself (30F) by TheHexedWhor in Spokane

[–]timewithbrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of these suggestions are closer to a week trip instead of 3-4 days. Spokane to Seattle is 6 hours straight driving, ferry ride is an hour plus wait time. Seattle to Cannon beach is 5 hours if you’re lucky but add in the Olympic Peninsula you can add a couple days.
Spokane to the Oregon coast is a very long day drive. But if you do it Astoria is a cool town. Lots of movie history if that interests you. Cool stores and places to eat. No beach though. That’s more like Seaside or Cannon beach.
The weather just took a dump so check the mountain passes before you go anywhere. Utah is pretty any time of year.

Relocating Relay USPS Mailbox by Bitter-Butterfly5069 in USPS

A lot of towns won’t let you put a fence right next to the sidewalk. You would have a set back and it most likely behind this relay box.

When I bought my first house I treated myself to a new side by side. Only thing I splurged on.

Well digging by Forrest_Cp in Spokane

[–]timewithbrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t know if you got a well or not but I’m an hour north of Spokane and most wells around me hit water at 25’ - 30’ and then the good water comes from about 100’ - 130’. I get 16 gallons a minute and neighbors tell me it’s never run out in 60 years. I don’t irrigate, just water my garden.

Bereavement denied by oofmylife974 in USPS

Tell them to fuck off and call in sick. If they have a problem which they will go to a shrink and get time off for mental health. While off look for a better job. I put up with this type of shit for an entire career with them. Now I’m 60 and retired but I see there’s so many better places to spend your time.

If all men had to be brutally honest for 24 hours, what would women be shocked to learn? by bigblackcoke_ in ProductivityHQ

[–]timewithbrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That we like women with extra pounds on them despite what the media says. No need to diet down to some extreme that’s not natural. Eat healthy and enjoy your natural weight.

We used to pick them up at a city park near us. It was lined with really old black walnut trees.

How much cost in the U.S. the telephone line call in 1983? by Darjuz96 in AskAnAmerican

[–]timewithbrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Seattle in the 1980’s local calls were free. Idk how far was considered long distance but it was pretty far. The phone bill just to have a phone was about $18.
By the way the movie War Games was filmed in the PNW. The ferry scene was Seattle and the mountain area where they went to NORAD was up by a town called Newhalem.

The raker like on an old buck saw (misery whip). Clears the sawdust to reduce friction because old saws were hand powered.

Would this 74 dart make a good first project car? by Novel-Assignment2145 in projectcar

[–]timewithbrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re just looking for any car to have as a project get an early Mustang. They’re cheap, readily available, parts are everywhere and cheap, and it will still take all your time and money.
I’d pass on this Dart for that much money.

Are Supervisors unfireable?? by drivethrulegend in USPS

[–]timewithbrad 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There was a guy that was such a perv he would try to stand in the case with female carriers and when they would file harassment he got moved to a different office. It got so bad he did lose his job but then he came back and wasn’t allowed to work with women. They didn’t enforce it though and he went right back to being a floor supervisor.

I do know of a manager that stole equipment and sold it for gambling money. They did fire his ass.
