What did you do today not on your truck...

[special-K]

It's an odd thing and I don't know why it's happening. It happens to me in certain, long running, threads. It's been said it is me double tapping a sensitive pad on my laptop. But I know that isn't it. It only happens in the long running threads and on those threads it takes forever for my comment to post. I mean like a whole minute before it posts. It's not always a duplicate post, but takes forever to post.

I have curbside, too. I only go to the landfill to dump big stuff. I get rid of a lot through curbside, which is an "unlimited" account. It is fairly expensive. More than other contractors, but mine has never refused to load anything

I think it is a well run land fill. awhile back a Spring Clean event got started where home owners can place unwanted misc. by curb and City picks it up. that is well run too, payloaders and dumptrucks can get stuff done quick. not as many couches,matresses and old window ac units in the diches as people use to see. Area has a Christmas tree and yard waste site for people to use too. The old Burnin Barrel days are passing us by.

Our city pickup is a bit contrary. It doesn't matter if we have our stuff properly placed at the roadside and one of the city trucks drives by it 4 times a day with an empty truck, they will not stop and pick it up unless we call first and request it. And they pick through the pile to only pick up certain things. That pickup is no charge but what's left we have to take to a county land fill or recycler. The last small bit of debri I took to the trash transfer station cost me over $50. I'll not do that again.

[special-K]

I had two TVs in perfect working order but older than Goodwill or anyone accepted. I heard about Best Buy taking them for recycling. Ran up there with them and found out they charge $25@. Can't give them away, not paying $50 to recycle, so they went to the dump for $7.

I hear about trash collectors picking through and refusing some trash. That's pretty bad when your trash isn't even good enough . I would hate that. I think mine doesn't care because my county is pretty lax on regs compared to surrounding counties. The other landfills are like going to Ft Knox. Ours they don't even ask for ID. Just pull on the scale, if they can't see it they ask what you have, empty it out, weigh out/pay. If it's not much they just get your $7 going in and no weigh out

They're not that picky, here. If it's in the trash barrel it goes. It's about $50 a month, I think. We personally have two barrels for recycling paper and metal, and two for green waste. I think that the green and gray ones are free, because they make money on the contents. California is now instituting more green waste collection, by having us put our vegetable and fruit waste in the green barrel. Makes sense, but they'll never get rich on mine, as I'm careful not to buy too much and just have it spoil. So, they get apple cores and banana peels and leaves off the cauliflower. Stuff like that. We got six yards of shredded trees to put in our front yard when we went to a drought-tolerant landscape. That was free, they just dump it in your driveway. That is different from the yard waste that we put in the green barrels.

It is $10 each for TV's and computer stuff here. You can't put any electronics stuff in with the trash load or they will fine you. Also, if your load is not covered with a tied down tarp they won't let you into the transfer station.

Heh, we put an old TV out front of my MiL's house. Nobody would take it, but someone cut the power cord off. Pretty cheeky! We ended up taking it to the waste management company's office and they had us put it in a bin they had. Free.

Repurposed one of the drop-down shelves from my old grill...I have my two-burner griddle on top of a Husky toolbox so I would have good storage and hide the propane tank. Not much work area though.

The bottom was about to burn out of my 10-year-old grill. So, I replaced it with a similar Charbroil. I removed the old drop-down shelves and placed one of them on the Husky. Now I have additional work space that drops out of the way when not in use.

The black and stainless grill is the new one with the shelves down.

Naturally, I kept the other shelf in case I find a use for it...in 10 or 20 years.



I wish I knew how to flip these pics right way up. Sorry about the bad angle.

That's a nice tractor. Consider me officially jealous.

Today we redid the brake pedal with an automatic I had lieing around and change the linkage from 2" to 3" will install tomorrow ]after paint dries.[IMG]https://i.ibb.co/1n1GZZ9/IMG-2151.jpg[/IMG

After changing over to PDB on the ol 65 C10 we redid the stock brake pedal with an automatic I had lying around, and changed the linkage throw drop from 2" to 3" will install tomorrow after paint dries. Sure, made a big difference on pedal feel.

I pulled in my driveway today. There was something lying there. That's not unusual, it's windy here and stuff always blows into the driveway. I just pulled in and didn't give it a second thought. But I did go look after I parked.

It turns out that it was my wife's $6000 Rolex watch. She doesn't know how it got there or at least that's her story.

Needless to say I wasn't happy. But just by dumb luck I didn't run it over.

To say I wouldn't be happy, would be a huge understatement.

Whats wrong with the site? yesterday I had pictures and today i dont. Plus it takes forever to load them.

[Boog]

I still see those pics of the brake pedal mods. Are there others?

[Stocker]

There is something strange going on in this thread and a couple others that are long running with lots of pictures. I have the really slow to post problem and often it will post twice. The slow to post problem is my reminder to check and see if I have a duplicate post to delete, once the post finally shows up. Sometimes the one post will have pictures and the duplicate won't

I've had the same problem with slooow posts and double posting because my computer is just sitting there doing nothing. I try it again and get a double post

I was goofing on Tim for double posts and now I'm doing it.

[special-K]

It seems to hit me the most. But I've seen it happen to others, including you, Dale/Old Blue, and Ryan/Dieselwrencher. I have no idea what could cause it. It's been suggested that my pad on my laptop is being extra sensitive, picking up on two taps. I'm hard headed and really don't think that's it. I should get a message telling me I have to wait to post the second one, it's only on particular threads, and why does it take so long to post only in those threads?
