Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
I'm glad you found a job so fast. Cudos for sticking up for the kid.

Sounds like a happy ending that came around much faster than expected.

Popped a meter lid at work this morning to this greeting me. Biggest one I’ve seen in a while.

Maybe next time you take a picture like this you could put your finger right next to it, you know, for scale.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
Not particularly random, but seems like a good place to post. Took my sons down to the then under construction site of the new Seattle Mariners ball park. They fought it all the way haha. But now its a pretty cool pic considering the park was opened in 1999, and we were lucky enough to go to the first game ever there. My sons will be 40 and 41 this year. My guess is this place is going to be here a long time. Something cool for them to look back on. I believe where they are standing would be home plate side.
EDIT: Added a pic of it now ... Well now its called T-Mobile. I hate the constant name changing of ball parks. This is the area where they were standing.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
Yeah the last time I used one was 2007 it took me 45 minutes of driving around to find one.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
Remember pay phones? Oh yeah, he said "old enough to". You know the answer here. What I 've always wondered is how long were they gone before I realized they were gone. It seems it was seeing a booth left behind (that no scrap scammers got) and realizing I hadn't seen one in a while.
How does this happen? People with all their postal service issues and an envelope with no address or name can be delivered. Did AARP send out enough for one in every mailbox like junk mail? Is may age so well known the mailman knew it was for me? This picture is straight out of the mailbox, unopened

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
You been an AARP member for so long they don't even bother putting your name and addy on the envelope anymore? They know where you're at.

Nope, not yet, but I should. I also need to get a round tuit. It seems they really want me to join really bad, but offering me an empty hand tote isn't exactly going to do the trick. Now, load it about half full (I'm not greedy) of cash and I'm right on it! My buddy's old tire changer. Works same as modern ones except no air power, fully manual. I wish I had one. I don't change enough tires to go buy a pneumatic and these are 10x better than anything else manual I've seen. This is the real deal. It's made by one of the companies that makes them today, truly just their pre-pneumatic product. Is it Hunter? I forget. But he also has a very efficient balancer you can see in the picture. My friend Pat has been an auction freak for 50 years, at least. He has an incredible amount of cool old vocational equipment and tools. More like a collection. In that shop he has displays on the walls I'll get pictures of soon.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
There's a word for that, oblivious. On more than one level in this case. "Take a lot around every now and then. You might see something"

I always strived to train / develop people to be able to take my job. I never wanted a boss to tell me I couldn't be promoted because no one was ready to fulfil my roll. I encouraged those I was training to look beyond me to enhance their learning. If I kept my mind open, I often learned from them. That philosophy never backfired on me. For managers that reported to me, my highest priority for them was to make a damned decision. I was / am more likely to "counsel" somebody if they don't make a decision than if they make a wrong one. Decisions, good and bad, are great learning experiences. I don't have a lot of patience for people that don't have any B A double "Ls". |

Two random phone booths I have come across over the years on the side of county roads. One in southern IL and one in the mountains of VA.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
Survivors. I remember when the old indoor wooden booths were a hot item. I wonder if the attraction is still there. I imagine if they were still in use a local call might cost a couple dollars or more

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
First time in my almost 67 years I've seen mail delivered with no address or at least have resident as the recipient and my town with zip. I guess everybody that gets USPS delivery got one. Drop mail, what a perfect name. Without knowing that dropping it in the trash is exactly what I did. I'll end up joining AARP but not because they are handing out tote bags
------------------------------------------------------------------ I'm doing work for a gal who owns this Avion Twinkie camper she wants to get rid of. She talked to me about partnering on me fixing it up and we split the money. She has the idea it can bring $15k. I'd have to check into that but I'm thinking this won't be a high-end candidate with the areas of external damage. I don't want to take on those repairs and it wouldn't be cheap to pay whoever can. If it was just interior and minor cosmetics and repairs I'd be all over that deal. I think she'd be best off selling it as is with not another dollar spent on it. Opinions and knowledge welcome. The appliances are light pink!! Her boyfriend bought that for her a while ago and nothing came of it. She just did go out and buy this:

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
That thing looks cool, but my advice is to run away from it. My wife's work friends told her that the old shell we had on our truck could be repaired, sight unseen. Even if I had managed to get all the sheet metal, windows out intact, it would have cost about $1500 for materials, by my estimate...and way more time than I was willing to spend on it. I did nothing to it but have a cover over it when it rained. Once she came to her senses, we got the new one.
