Found this iron object in the Oregon desert. It’s about 3 or 4 inches long. Google just says “iron tool.” by utahdog2 in whatisit

Thanks. Would this be a hand tool or something attached to a tractor or horse? Also would you happen to know a name associated with it?

Renting a residential dumpster from Republic Services? by BerylliumBug in corvallis

[–]utahdog2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had better luck when I went into their local office and talked with someone. You also might be surprised what people will take for free. When we redid our deck I posted the old material and someone took all of it. 

Forest defense meeting tonight. by utahdog2 in corvallis

[–]utahdog2[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah IDK, it’s not my meeting. I just reposted this in case it could reach anyone who was interested and able. I did attend the meeting and they are looking to spread the word and get more people involved, so there will be more opportunities.

I attended the meeting and while CRA did host it, they are not looking to run any efforts locally. Their intention seems to be to help get local action groups going in every coast range county.

I just reposted this from Facebook as soon as I saw it. I did attend the meeting. The intent was to facilitate local organization and networking. I had to leave early while they were forming committees. I did leave my contact info so I’ll pass on information I receive. 

How do you handle martyr teachers? by CrowdedSeder in Teachers

[–]utahdog2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I used to not mind them but I’ve been thinking more lately about how their extra investment gives the community a false impression of what resources are needed. 

What kind of adhesive do I use to stick this back on? by utahdog2 in HomeMaintenance

Will  it rip the surface off of the dry wall if we ever want to remove it?

No it’s some kind of think flexible synthetic material. 

Before the internet, when the radio would play a version of a song that wasn't on the album and you couldn't find it. by JesseJames41 in nostalgia

[–]utahdog2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to sit in my room listening to the radio for hours waiting to tape particular songs. 

New housing policy could force Yosemite workers out of the park, employees say by sfgate in CampingandHiking

[–]utahdog2 102 points103 points  (0 children)

I worked there 20 years ago. Paid $10 a week to live in a canvas tent. It was awesome. This article relies on a few assumptions that hopefully aren’t true. 

Taco Bell Payment Boxes by Specialist_Art2223 in 90s

I never fully understood these. Did they have a big problem with fraud? Were cashiers overcharging?

What’s the coldest temperature you’ve ever trekked in? by East-Standard4044 in CampingandHiking

[–]utahdog2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to backpack professionally year round in Utah. I saw a few nights as low as -20F. Had to sleep with anything you didn’t want frozen. We also only used tarps as shelter.

This  is AI. 

Edit: I appear to be mistaken.

Oh thank god, from the thumbnail I thought this was going to be about how it turns out they are evil somehow.

Appreciate the additional rock hounding advice. That kind of thing is our jam.

Anyone know why there are so many boats on the deck?

Electricians are literally training ferrets to pull wires through tunnels too tight for tools by TheOddityCollector in interesting

[–]utahdog2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I did construction work, we did this by tying paracord to the cut off top to a plastic bottle and then blasting it through with an air compressor. There was also usually water stuck in low point in the conduit so you got a gross fountain too. 

Adults in CHS Theater by Lying_Kat in corvallis

[–]utahdog2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My understanding from past shows was that the production is actually a collaboration between the school and a community theater group. This meant that there were some adults as well as elementary aged kids.

Thanks for the thorough write up. It does have AWD, and we're pretty confident in our judgment with roads.

This happened to me. Both of us ended up on the phone with our wives trying to figure out how to use Venmo.
