Keystone State Thread

Forgot to post this:


Finished this up on Saturday.
Birddawg industries tech deck.

 

Looks like a nice clean install. U can talk to critter.

 

PA and surrounding areas peeps. My back still aches from hauling the 60-pound battery in and out of our little convertible yesterday. Darned BMW people bury that thing DEEP behind the rear wheel, and then cover it with a maze of wires and doodads. Also the battery is the size of a minivan.

All the trucks in that area now too. I-78 was pretty full with trucks before but now it's crammed. The last few miles in/out of PA to/from NJ can really get clogged up. I wouldn't be surprised to see an extra lane get added to that stretch.

 

I believe they are in the process of widening 78 out to the west at least, been working on it forever but looks like they are trying to make it 3 lanes both ways.

 

1 more job left than home. Thank God it's been a long week.

 

Well blame the City of Allentown The original plan for I 78 was planned to leave out around the 40mm swing far to the South and merge with US Route 22 east of Phillipsburg Nj

Allentown did not want to lose the through traffic so cried till the route was changed

 

We might be close enough that your 275 and my 575 might reach.

 

we might. My antenna setup isn’t ideal but once I get that firgufed out. Distinct possibility.

 

Yeah I have a stubby on a hood lip mount, not the best placement but it works with my old Motorola handhelds at 100 feet away. Lol haven't had a chance to try further.

 

Happy Friday

 

TGIF indeed! Hope all you fine people have amazing weekends

 

Finally home. TGIF for sure even if it rains this weekend. De-Stressing with a bourbon and ice. Wife has a huge pot of her Chili waiting and her home made corn bread.
She now has me thinking of food for the weekend. Thinking of making some stuffed Jalapeño egg rolls.
Yinz have a great weekend.

 

TGIF! catching up on Ahsoka tonight and sleeping in until 8 tomorrow!

 

Hey there , welcome if ur new. Steelcity from Pittsburgh. Putzing around in the garage tonight. Did brakes and rotors on the wife's RDX , now building furniture dollies. .... don't ask ... well we had some left over swivel castors at work and I said hey don't throw them away I'll take em. ....

 

Whats wrong with me ? Anyone can borrow. And no I'm not helping anyone move !

 

Gonna be a long Sat. Dropping a family member off at the Phila airport at 430am. Then a 30 min ride back home for a shower. Then my wife and I are off to Pitt to visit our daughter, 4.5 hr trip out the turnpike. At least we're heading away from the bad weather.

 

Same mount. Want to put a roof mount, but loathe to drill through the roof.

 

Consider yourself lucky my techs are expected to install 125-150 batteries per day each at 63 lbs each. I don't envy them! My stationary guys do 160-200 per 3 man crew per day and those suckers are 188 lbs a pop. At least they are able to use lifts for those but it's still grueling to get them onto the lift and the old ones onto the pallets.

I try to get out on a job with them every few months to keep myself in the know and also show them I can still keep up the next day or two after are not fun but I'd never let them know that

 

Ok, know you said don’t ask but…..did you just have one of them, I just gotta make a couple furniture dolley hankerings?

 

I've got 2 of these in my garage too.
