LAST CALL!!

A while ago I posted that we were in need of unloading some stuff. I made some very attractive KSL classified listings and we were able to sell the chain link fence. Recently Megan decided she wants to keep and refinish the 6 foot shelf. This link will take you to the blog post with links to the merchandise. The stuff that didn't find new owners is still just floating around, so now we have no option but to offer the goods for...


... of course upon the condition that we know you and trust that you will take care of our precious unneeded junk.

Featured Item:Yes, the classic 19-inch Magnavox TV from 1989 is still available.

Come and get it. The first person that does will receive a free meal with us (if you come around meal time).

Other new things that we no longer need (these things probably won't be free):

1. 2nd Generation 4GB iPod mini with CD and stuff
2. Toshiba A45-S150 Satellite (40 GB, 512 MB) with HP 3650 Inkjet Printer
3. 1994 Honda Accord LX (211k miles, click to see ad)

Let me know if you're interested and we could strike a deal!!

A Couple of Things I Have Learned this Week

Sometimes, actually more often than not, when I am trying to do a gravel hatch in AutoCAD it looks more like a mess of sticks than gravel. Yesterday I learned that if you redefine the hatch origin in the hatch command window to be closer or even within your intended hatch, it looks like perfect gravel every time! Who knew?

Then today I was researching to find a riprap classification specification. I remembered that one time when I worked for another company that we rented a huge scale and then did a mass gradation by hand. It was a lot of hard work and the guy that was doing it with me had a bad back and had to drive to the site with a blow up pillow. So guess who did all the heavy lifting. The table below is from a USACE document for Best Management Practices (BMPs). I can help spec out riprap now if anyone wants some.
