Southeast Tennessee, halfway between knoxville and Chattanooga. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We had quite the show in east TN. Lots of reds/greens. Could just barely make things out with the naked eye, but iPhone did its magic and we had some strong colors. I'll get some posted up later.

Absolute truth.

Just looking at the campers being towed down the road, I'd say 1/3 of them don't have the hitch set up correctly. I'd also say more than half of the half ton trucks are well over most of their ratings. Not that they are going to fall apart because of it, but some have no business pulling what...

Not my video. If it's a pretty long driveway, I'd go ahead and invest in a land plane. You'll be kicking yourself for not doing so earlier. If you use the yard box, use it when ground is wet/soft. That helps it cut into the hard pack better and lets you get rid of potholes. We had a monsoon...

The box scarifiers aren't really usable on a driveway. They are more for busting up dirt, like a mini plow. They are too far apart and too big to do what needs to be done. Land plane scarifiers are basically short pegs and much closer together. Idea is they completely bust up the top crust...

You can make a box blade work, but it takes lots of practice. First I'll go through and drag it all down, cutting any humps/holes out and "stirring it all up". The goal is to get rid of surface irregularities at the hard packed base. Then, I shorten my top link so the edges of the box are the...

I do not.

Mine's a side hustle, not passive income: I set up weight distribution hitches for people with campers. Simple job, I have the tools, and I'm out two hours at the most. Price runs 200+, and usually ends up around 300-350 according to how much work I do. You'd be surprised (or appalled) at the...

Wife has been summoned for jury duty twice. She didn't have to serve either time. Just had the once a month standby waiting on a phone call. There is no getting out in our county in TN. They defer you and you serve one way or another. I've always wanted to be called for JD, has never happened...

It's not just machinists - many, many trades are suffering the same issues. Spoke with an civil engineering firm yesterday that is turning away work unless it's on developments that they created. Spoke with the president and he said they can't keep enough surveying staff. Started farming it out...

It's pretty rare to get the low res images to generate anything usable. I've always treated it like this, and say it as such to my customers "someone, somewhere, had this hi res image to start with - if you want the same quality and the same image, you're going to have to track down whoever...

I don't hate it. I find it more interesting to see with two doors than the vert top. Either way, I'd drive it.

First off, work on it as a native AI file until finished. Then save as your dxf file. There's a ton of settings you can play with before doing the auto trace with regards to how tight it pulls the lines, how many colors, etc etc etc. You are going to have to play with the settings until you...

$15. I went for a number of years where my wife cut it for me. However, she "retired" and said she wasn't doing it anymore. :-(

Keep a CLOSE watch on those fasting numbers. Your diet change plus the met may end up being too much. You don't want to go hypoglycemic (too low). Bad stuff happens quickly, without warning, and you won't realize it. A few years back, a local doctor had a hypo episode while driving, resulting...

After my dad passed in 2018, Mom went from being lightly active to basically no activity. My brother and I could see her physically getting weaker and weaker. After about a year and a half, we finally convinced her to get a gym membership (many insurances will pay for part or all of the...

Assuming you are type 2, it's time to get a gym membership. My 74yo mom got a personal trainer and a gym membership, and was able to get completely off her metphormin. Took about a year of work. Exercise and/or diet are a huge help for type 2 diabetics. Cannot stress it enough. Yes, it sucks...

Well, this post escalated in a way I didn't foresee lol. I actually remember the faces of death stuff as well, but had forgotten it till it was mentioned.

Top options in my mind: 1. UPS 2. Ford Distant 3rd - buying the business with co workers. Running the business side is a HUGE undertaking. Working side by side with someone is one thing. Making a business run, deciding how to spend money, etc etc is a HUGE step. How old are the co-workers? Do...

https://www.yahoo.com/news/ringleader-global-monkey-torture-network-102531745.html Add this to the list of things I didn't think of. Monkey torture videos. Seriously? I'm thinking someone should make a video of him enjoying the fruits of his labors, monkey style.

Cruise-in's are sometimes a less disciplined crowd than a true show. Regardless, doesn't excuse that kind of behavior. I used to scoff at those who had a "do not touch" sign in windows and close to the car. Not so much now. Just an overall symptom of society as a whole - people don't respect...

They say they don't flow very well, but I don't care. They've been on there since 1996, they aren't going anywhere soon.

They make some H pipe and double H pipe setups that tone a lot of the rasp down that sound a lot better. The coyote engines are a lot more sensitive to exhaust choice as far as sound, IMO. With that being said, most will do the x pipe or double x pipe setups. Raspy, loud, cackle sounding stuff...
