Greg found a cool innovation of re-using stuff in his grand fathers garage
bought his own farm the same year,
proceeded to erect a barn behind house there.
In 1959 he built a work shop.
In 1960 he bought a sears air compressor it has date on it, and is still in use.
And he made this hose reel!
It has a pipe union in it with a leather washer with grease on it to seal air.
Greg says in his post that he was born in 1971, and has no idea how many times his grandfather, Greg himself, and his 2 sons, and countless neighbors pulled this hose out
His grandfather passed away in 1999 but this thing lives on.
The hub that the hose is rolled up on is a 4 legged John Deere logo, 5 gallon oil can.
Plaistow New Hampshire residents complained enough to police, related to the unsafe operation of commercial trucking, that the New Hampshire State Police and the Plaistow PD conducted a one day operation for “excessive speed, violations of weight restrictions, driving on restricted roads, as well as other unsafe behaviors by commercial drivers.”
that one day enforcement operation resulted in nearly 150 violations being found.
One day.
Obviously police aren't doing code enforcement any more unless it's an "operation" they will get paid over time for.
And the results prove that they haven't been doing inspections in forever
31 commercial vehicles stopped, 146 violations were discovered
5 drivers out-of-service
7 vehicles out-of-service
Multiple summonses and warnings were issued for issues ranging from speeding to drivers operating in violation of federal out-of-service orders
During an April brake day inspection sweep of around 4000 commercial vehicles, 14% failed so bad they were placed out of service
camera-free routes to avoid Flock License Plate Readers... something similar to Waze... "DeFlock"
Enter a start and destination, and it’ll provide directions.
The difference is that it overlays known automated license plate reader cameras and offers an alternative route designed to minimize or eliminate encounters with them.

no posts yesterday, the newbies to my Comic Con Hall H line have been busy delaying my organizing them into shifts for holding the line in shifts.
no one bothers to learn from the facebook page, everyone seems to want one on one advice, and one guy took 30 damn minutes to get filled in.
Of course, by typing, not talking on a phone.
Anyway, a couple weeks ago most of my spare time was taken up polishing brass... and this week, a lot of time will be taken up doing some team building organizing.
It's just like doing a watchbill for a duty section (you vets will know what that is) but these are civilians, and not going to take the shift they are told to, they are going to ask for the best one, load that one up, then realize, huh, only a few will be able to take any one shift, then the rest of us have to take the less desireable shifts.
