Boring times so maybe a highlight or 2. Usual hour workout at 9 am. Went out and swing the Superspeed clubs and my driver .

No work, up @ 3:45, fun. It's a balmy, 52° outside, with a warm, humid breeze. Something different. Might go for a walk, might not.

Typhoon Thought about your skills when driving by the large dairy farm on the outskirts of Las Cruces. Putting old with new.

Bravopilot Mmmm, cow patties. He gonna need a bigger scooper.

LBlack14 Forgot to mention, for a relatively small place, there are 5 Walmarts. I may ask him for a job.

Hit MacD's instead of the walk. Pay and me need nourishment. Taking my Christmas boots back to Foot Locker, then heading up to the dispensary for some meds. Tunes and toddies, later.

Kitchen plumbing job finished. I had a clogged sink Weds. night. Put some Green Gobbler drain clog dissolver in but stll clogged the next morning. Thurs. evening my wife made up a white vinegar/baking soda concoction and put it in the drain with pans of boiling water. This morning still clogged but I could get enough moving with a small accordion like plunger and got some hot water through it. I filled both bowls up with hot water and plunged the crap out of it and got both bowls empty then filled it back up with hot water and let it sit. 45 min. later more plunging bam, the clog came loose and both are flowing so no augering needed. Yay. Maybe I won't have another Typhoon like day but it is still early yet. 😁

Rickochet what're you shoving down the drain?!😁

Typhoon

Rickochet No better feeling in the world than when something like that works so you don’t have to rip the thing apart or call a plumber!👍👍

More rain. Rained most of yesterday, and now radar shows a 150 wide band moving in right now from the west. Going grocery shopping sometime today and then making supper for the family later. Watch a couple of college football games. 😴

Not me, the wife puts too much shit down the sink that shouldn't go. We used to have disposal but I took that out after she put a whole crockpot full of turkey chili that was awful thru the disposal and clogged up about 30' of 2" drain pipe. It sat and festered for 3 days while I worked on it. I finally got it broken loose but got drenched by a two inch brown stream that looked and smelled like shit. A memorable day. My friends still gig me to this day about the turkey chili event.

LBlack14

Typhoon I have TRU stories that debunk that theory. 😁

Rickochet Our garbage disposal doesn't work right now. We're supposed to be 2 months into a kitchen remodel so she don't want to replace it. She would shove anything down in that disposal and I told her that's what the garbage can was for. Then it quit, imagine that. I'm calling a plumber, John's full of shit, and I ain't talking about the kind you get with the scooper. 😉😁

Rickochet If you have easy access, may be a great time to put in a few clean out fittings.

Typhoon

About to go out for poop detail. Finally got the area hosed down yesterday with the warmer temps. Filling the bird feeders, going to get the oil changed in the car, maybe get to pulling that shaft adapter. Got a few shafts to list for sale, hope to finally get to the golf course for an beer or 20. Been trying to get there for the last month🙄. Only open Thursday- Sunday. Dinner later at BBQ place where Nicks guitar teacher is playing.

LBlack14 We don’t put a whole lot down our disposal for that very reason LB

Par4QC I'm no pro plumber, but WTH is there an elbow that far away?? No wonder you've had so many plumbing problems in that house.

35 years ago I finished my basement and the only way to keep a bare drain line from showing below the dropped ceiling was to turn it down next to the HVAC race with two 90° elbows. I can get to the els from about 15' in both directions from under the sink and in my downstairs utility room. This is only the 2nd or 3rd time this has clogged in 35 years so it isn't that bad.

Rickochet I knew it was not a new build/plumber doings. 😄

For my new job I have to send back a few things in regards to them figuring out the monthly car allowance. So this is why I hate working at a big corporation. They’re just looking to fuck ya.

I have to pick my percentage of stop and go driving. Less than 50%, 50-79% or over 80%. The next thing is my annual miles I’ll be driving. 12k-16k, 16k-20k…all the way up to 60k.

So 🙄 I’ve never done the job before, don’t know where the stores are…. No idea where I’m driving . How can I answer any of those right?? I could pepper her with legit questions but I don’t want her to hate me on day one…. Give it a while. What are they thinking????

If I pick high miles, they make me get a new car in 3 years instead of 4. So I figure on going to where it’s the most miles before it changes to 4 years. Stop and go traffic I’ll go high because it’ll mean I’ll need more gas so they’ll give me more money per mile….. I guess🙄🙄🙄🙄

Typhoon I'm missing something here, seems pretty straightforward, especially for a smart guy like you. Simple Google Maps exercise, not much fun but should be easy for the company to tell you how that works. Are you the first one in this position (new position to the company??)

In my previous life, we called this mission planning.

It sounds like a reasonable question to ask and she might actually appreciate the questions so you get started on the right track. When I worked for state govt. we either used a motorpool vehicle or if using a private vehicle we got a flat rate per mile reimbursement. We just had to keep a log and file a monthly travel voucher.

Typhoon I'd quit that fucking job, right fucking now.🤬

Yes, first one to do this layout of stores. So they have asked me these questions but…

I don’t have a list stores so I don’t know where I’m going
How do I know if my stores are off highways or am I traveling backroads in stop and go traffic to get from one to the other.

I can group the stores together on my own for each day and figure approximately the miles but …. It’s gonna take a while to figure out and each day is somehow gonna get f’ed up. They’re putting the cart before the horse.
