Move in day for all the college's

 

College students moving in this weekend

 

I wish people from New York knew that the left lane is for passing not traveling 5 under the speed limit. Maybe a higher than average amount of New Yorkers are too self centered to realize they are backing up traffic

Good thing it’s a law

 

Those look delicious. What do you jar them in? Just olive oil?

 

Wife and I MIGHT have bought a 4Runner today...

 

Keep trying to talk mine into it.... she wont give up the Charger....

 

Ya mine has wanted one but a couple years ago we went with a highlander instead. Now with our first child on the way she hates the captains chairs and feels like we’re paying for something she doesn’t really enjoy. Plus the highlander isn’t awd because we bought when we were living in Florida.

This one is a slightly used 2015 4Runner with 4wd and the first thing she said is she felt very safe and comfortable in it

 

I core and clean them first.
Then fill the jar with white vinegar and let them soak for a couple days.
Then stuff them and fill with olive oil.
That's it. Easy Peasy.

 

Sounds too easy.

I need to get a garden going next spring. I intended on doing it this year but working 7 days a week didn’t really help

 

eh...dirt will always be there Derek.

 

Hahha it’s not the dirt. It’s my laziness after work to maintain that’s the problem

 

Oh no....I mean there is always next year.

 

Yeah, found this out the hard way when it took me an hour to travel a route that normally takes 15 minutes.

 

I grew up and learned how to drive in upstate NY and I have to say, MA drivers can’t say shit about the way NY drivers behave. Massholes are FAR worse and less considererate. They block up the left lanes of traffic just fine on their own and, as an added benefit, punch it when the middle lane opens up only to slow down again once there’s a car in the middle lane to pace again...

 

PM sent Jason.

 

I had a guy cut me off in Albany. As he rolled his Window down, I was expecting the finger, actually got an apology instead.

 

The wire couldn't ignite in the conduit. It's actually URD cable in conduit, so no exposed conductors even on the ground wire. Panel is within 10 ft of the tank for sure, though (inside, however, and the tank is outside). I guess a panel could be a source of ignition if connections weren't made properly and arcing occurred or something.

Don't know about MA, but NC says a panel is fine:

And that leaves the question about placing a propane container near the electric meter or the breaker box. Based on the above rationale, we do not consider an electric meter or a breaker box to be a source of ignition when they are not being worked on and when the seal on the meter is properly applied and intact. If a service person is working on the meter or box or if the seal on the meter is missing or damaged, a propane container within ten feet of either device may not be filled.

I don't think I'm leaving the propane anyway, but at least now I know what I have there doesn't appear to be an issue, at least not a blatant one.

 

Sorry, pretty sure it read AUTOMATIC source of ignition. AC condenser, etc.

I see no issue with it. BUT, I am not the AHJ.

 

I had the local guys give me a hard time when they went to install my propane tank. I had a window AC unit nearby and they didn’t want to put the tank where I wanted it. I told them, I’ll just use a different window, and they got sketchy on me saying, but it’s there now... anywhere along my whole first floor could be within a window and I could potentially use a window unit it any one of them. Fortunately, they came around but i thought I was going to have to cancel the propane plans for a little bit. I guess the moral of the story is everything is open for interpretation.

 

Yep, either 3 or 5ft from a window, 10ft from source of ignition. Been a long time since I worked that field. I have a couple friends that still do, and I'm sure I still have some books/guides somewhere.
