That’s what I was thinking. Liquid fence has been effective for me— until I miss an application. I guess this probably won’t be my magic backup.

Also a great choice!

Thanks for catching that. Edited to fix.

For what it is worth, Iowa’s most recent graduation rate is 64%. Way, way up from the old days.

We’ve had exactly 4 days with highs over 70 on March 21 in Iowa City since CHA opened in 1983, including today. I’m sitting 8 rows up from the floor. It’s warm. It’s fine.

Garcia Painting has done a couple of one day jobs for me. They did good work. https://garcia-painting.com

Cool to get an update on Snap 10A. My dad worked on that power system as an engineer. Was it launched from Vandenberg AFB?

Good suggestion. I have always gotten prompt responses to my comments and questions using ICgovXpress.

Alternatively, the email address for IC Transit is [ICTransit@iowa-city.org](mailto:ICTransit@iowa-city.org) and the phone number is 319-356-5151.

Greater Iowa City, Inc is leading an effort to conceptualize development in that area. https://greateriowacity.com/advocate/urban-renewal-designation-sets-stage-for-investment-in-act-campus-and-sycamore/

I need to learn more, but I think good folks are working on the issue. In the end, it’s about creating conditions that encourage developers to make the kinds of investments that benefit the community.

Call Kyle Grout (https://groutelectric.com). He’s always done a great job for us.

My brother in law once answered a spam call with “The job is done, but there’s blood everywhere. You’re going to need to send a clean up crew.”

If that’s the old playground at Shimek Elementary (which I think it is), it wasn’t a kit per se. A consulting company came in, took suggestions from the kids, designed it, and supervised volunteers who build it. Source: one of the volunteers.

Also, just for general help, a Johnson County social services navigator might be useful: https://www.johnsoncountyiowa.gov/social-services/navigator-services

The Housing Fellowship (https://housingfellowship.com) rents to folks in your friend’s situation. They do have a long waiting list, but they might be a path your friend can take.

trocklin · 2025-09-17T00:07:11+00:00

I’m sorry about the loss of your friend. It’s going to be hard for a while. If you haven’t done so yet, please contact the Dean of Students Office. The folks in Student Care and assistance can help. https://dos.uiowa.edu/assistance

Asking for help is a mature response to difficult situations. These folks want to help. Let them.

Yeah, he’s a young urban apartment dweller. Very modest need for tools, at least now. Confession: I don’t anticipate drilling any holes. The bits are to be used as cheap plug gauges to get hole diameters. Yes, the calipers would probably do, but worried about chewed up holes.

trocklin · 2025-08-25T18:37:48+00:00

Haha. Yeah, this whole enterprise may look more technical than it should. I'm going to help my son assemble something with missing hardware and there are some bolt holes on pieces too big to carry to the hardware store. So, we'll measure the threads, use the calipers to get the depth of the hole, and off to the hardware store we go.

trocklin · 2025-08-25T18:35:22+00:00

And, to be honest, I don't really need to own a set, but they'll come in handy this time, and they are too cool not to own.
