    April Fool's 2016

    Still my favorite. Sitka, AK in 1974. People woke up to see their "dormant" volcano smoking. Coast guard was called out to fly out and investigate. Pile of tires lit on fire and someone had spray painted on the ground, April fools.

    Kolkata Overpass Collapses At least 24 killed

    The walkway collapse is the gold standard of the shop making a decision they weren't qualified to make. I see it a lot. I suggest lots of design changes all the time. For ease of building, ease of erection, based on experience from what I have seen in the past. But always got to get the engineer...

    Kolkata Overpass Collapses At least 24 killed

    All steel structures look "kind" of like that (not the part that buckled and collapsed). That's why in our connections we use a 7/8" x 1" horizontal slot instead of a round hole for 3/4" bolts. So they can be trued up and squared after all the steel is erected. An 1/8" per connection multipled...

    Salt normally works well on what is left if it tries to hang on or come back, cheap and effective.

    Home buying thread

    I guess it depends on the area. Normally I would say bad idea. But the last place I lived in BR the neighbor sank a ton of money into the house and put on an extra floor. The neighbor past him bought the hous for $250k and put who knows how much into it and sold it for $650k. The one across the...

    What do you do?

    I think it depends on the industry. I read it a lot that you should job hop quite often to up your pay. I've talked to quite a few people in my industry who do the hiring and those types of resumes go right in the trash. This is for engineering (non IT) type jobs.

    Put it at the end of your driveway withg a price on it. By the end of the weekend it will be gone when someone steals it. Don't put free on it, it will sit there forever.

    Just don't do like the guy last week. 30 pounds to blow up an old mower and he was 30 feet away. The video shows his friends loading him into a car to go to the hopsital, minus a leg.

    Airlines aren't going to change out from VCR's in a lot of older planes because anything added has to be resubmitted to the FAA and not just that particular DVD palyer, it has to be sumbitted and cleared to be used in that particular type of plane with the other equipment already on board. So...

    Drove into the small town here today which I never do. Clusterfuck all the way around. They were having a parade and shit for a girl who is on American Idol. Didn't even know that was still on.

    Health Problems

    Umm that's the whole story. It's left over parathesis in my hands from either the ADEM or MS. Nobody knows. It's not really tingling as much as it feels the skin is tight. But the symptoms I have had in the last 2 years don't fit into either category. Problems have accelerated very...

    Gah that sucks. I would think anything aromatic, infused or pipe tabacco should go in a separate humidor. Even a cheap herfador or a tupperware one at least.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    The biggest issue with the one I mentioned before it's tied into the exit of the interstate at a truck stop. The trucks exiting the interstate really can't make the turn and stay in one lane around the thing and there's a constant stream of them. The other day they were nearly backed up onto the...

    RIP Garry Shandling

    Apparently a doctor came to his house the day before and said if you don't feel better go the ER. I would have liked to get KD6OY in my ham radio logbook. You could see his tower and beam antenna in the pics they showed of his house.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    They put a pair of roundabouts in a town nearby. Smaller town of 20k. But it's right in front of the regional medical center that draws the entire parish. Lots of older folks and such and they tied it in with the onramp and exit to the interstate. It's been in use for 2 months and I read the...

    I've seen it all now. Been wanting a few cigars while I'm away from my humidor. I mentioned it to my dad who said there was a shop in town (small town) that had a whole bunch of cigars. I figured they were gas station cigars but I went by. They had a whole wall in cabinets of boxes from the...

    The people who "found" the 7 Ty Cobb baseball cards are either dumb or getting bad advice, or both. They're now all on ebay, at the same time. I wouldn't have told anybody I found 7 of them. Start with one. Then I wouldn't have put them on ebay, I would have done an auction house and not...

    Well this was a 1000mg a day infusion, in two separate spurts. He was thinking in pills I guess. I had a dentist for a while that every time you had the least little thing done he would prescripe hydrocodone in large quantities with refills. I always filled them and kept them on hand in case...

    I don't have the EKG. I've had two in the last years and the cardiologist said there was nothing out of the ordinary. Most times it happens at rest, or even sleeping. I had an episode early this morning which is why I got up. After lunch I went out and picked up pine cones and mowed the yard for...

    Anyone know anything about angina? A lot of the symptoms I have now are similar, making an appointment with another cardiologist. I get to where I can't breathe no matter what. Mostly I'll wake up or be woken up from a faster heart rate and can't breathe at all. It seems to go away after some...

    More hate for the medical profession. The message I got from the Dr. said EXTENSIVE changes in my MRI consistent with MS and he referred me to their MS specialist. That was it. I already knew I had lesions from ADEM. That was kind of a kick in the nuts till I read the actual report on the MRI...

    No it's an MRI. They do 20 minutes without contrast, pull you out and give you contrast and do another 20 minutes with contrast. That's why they don't put an IV in and leave it. Never had the problem before. I guess she was in training. Every time in the past you just get out and they give it to...
