    How's everyone doing with this virus crap?

    I feel very fortunate with my job. I've been off for a week(paid) and next week they told us about work with the outside contractors. They are also giving us a compensation for the working conditions. We are to all were our PPE equipment and keep doing our safe working habits. Basically we will...

    How's everyone doing with this virus crap?

    Back in HS I had a CB radio, in my car, with a 100 watt linear amp. I use to go up the highest hill in the area and transmit/listen for hours. Could go quite a ways.

    How's everyone doing with this virus crap?

    Unfortunately, where my grandpa use to live was in Westwood, CA. They started building all these huge high-rise buildings around him and the reception/transmission quality went down and he didn't use it as much. The family moved him to a retirement community out away from the city and they...

    How's everyone doing with this virus crap?

    I remember going over to my grandpa's house and sitting in his basement listening to him talk on the radio. He had a 10,15,& 20 meter rig. He would talk to people in New Zealand and it was cheaper than a phone call, back in the early 70's. A lot he said would depend on the sun and the...

    CK-4 Oil change - Delo 400 Isosyn -LLY

    I can't use the Shell in my truck. I've had people ask me why my truck ticks so loud. Switched back to the Delo and within 5-10 miles of driving very quiet again.

    How's everyone doing with this virus crap?

    This shit is pissing me off. I retired from doing the plumbing after 27 years in business and now do fire sprinkler testing for the school district. They have completely shut us down and any outside vendors from doing any testing. This is so stupid. This is a perfect time to do the testing...

    Couldn't have said it better Tom. :thumb: The wife and I went out to breakfast this morning and I can say it was like any normal day. The only thing that changed was the waitress was wearing gloves. We will be swamped with work now that LAUSD is closed. We get a lot of work done when no...

    Question: Axle Block on 5th Wheel. Good or Bad Idea?

    My previous 5th wheel had those type of axles. It just looks bent more than it should be. Sent from my LM-G820 using Tapatalk

    Question: Axle Block on 5th Wheel. Good or Bad Idea?

    Don't know if it's just the picture, but is that one axle bent? If you need a good trailer place to work on this, try this place in Santa Clarita. Accurate Trailer Hitch (661-251-9234). Owner's name is Sal. A Little pricey but good work.

    What did you do at work today?

    So nobody had put the system on fire watch or called the FD to let them know? WOW. We had some similar at a school two days ago. Got the 340R report (LA city fire) from the FD. Says one of the 4" butterfly valves is not working correct. Go to check the system, find the valve is stuck in the...

    If you do tie this into your sanitary plumbing, make sure your connection point is above the p-trap. If you've got a laundry sink you can do an in-direct discharge above the sink. If you can run it outside to a garden for the free watering. Sent from my LM-G820 using Tapatalk
