Stop in for a cup of coffee

The road base we made at our granite quarry in the next county was like that. It's mostly the crush count on the stone that aids the compaction. Funny, an asphalt job I did here where we mined the river, I had to add stone from the granite quarry to raise the crush count. Too many crushed round rocks from the river material. They did an asphalt job up there and had to add our crushed river rocks to their granite because their granite was softer/more fragile than our river rocks :realcrazy: . Gotta love them highway engineers :lol:

You shouldn't take your gravel for granite...
 
I heard an older comedian joking about that...

He said, "I get up at 2 AM in the morning to pee, sometimes I don't even get out of bed"... :lol:

I like the coffee part !!

Our Home Economic teacher in jr high told us about some foods can help or prevent gout or scurvy.... For some reason that always stuck in my mind...

Plus she was kinda cute, looked like Cindy Williams from Laverne and Shirley.... Giggity, giggity...
 
Crete and re-rod!


They used very little steel when I was doing concrete paving. Like two pieces in 40' wide paving. They have really increased that from what I have seen in the new stuff they have put down in LA area.

The steel rebar in the concrete keeps it in compression...

Concrete is very strong in compression (force that squeezes) but it's very weak in tension (pulling forces), so the rebar is used to keep it constantly under compression so it doesn't chip/break...

So it makes sense that more rebar will make it stronger...
 
Eating snake I bet!

Funny you should mention that...

I saw a report on tv about a woman in China that had a restaurant where she made some dishes out of snake... There were 5 different types of snake, and each one was good for treating a certain pain... That caught my attention... Unfortunately, there are only 20% of the restaurant that cook with snake now than there used to be...

It had me interested in trying snake...

I did eat chili made from rattlesnake once when we were on a hot trip in Arizona once... I had a strange urge to want to bite something and my poop smelled a little gamy afterwards...
 
Good morning, looks like a nice day so far. Replacing the windshield in my sons 2020 Ram pick up today, well not me I'm letting him do all the work and I get to watch and tell him he's doing it wrong. :thumbsup:
 
Up here it is called modified. If you go to the Limestone quarry here you have a choice of Modified 1A 2A 2B Dirty 2B and right up the line getting bigger as you go up. Modified is quite fine and actually used on the icy/snow covered roads. It packs like concrete but you need dirty 2B it is the size of your finger nail but is not clean it has a clay binder and used in the base of driveways once that is packed down you can add 1A and when it is settled add the modified.

I see thoae gravel hauler trucks on the highway around here... They put signs on the back that say they are not responsible for any damage done to your car from falling gravel... WTF??? :realcrazy:

What makes them not responsible for chips in paint or windshields from the debris that falls out of their truck...

If I put a sign in my car that I'm not responsible for any damage I do if I hit you, does that release any responsibility I have if I do???

I'm going to put a sign on my car that states I'm not responsible for your death if I run you over... That way I can run over idiots and have no repercussions... The sign makes it legal...
 
I had a dog named sex. He ran outside around 2am.
I walked the streets calling for him. Short time later two cops pull up.
Is there a problem sir? Yes officers I'm looking for Sex.
Get cuffs on . No you don't understand Sex is a dog.
Look sir we don't care how bad she looks. You can't walk the streets yelling and whistling for Sex.

Hey Karl I think I made some work for you! Just sent Eddie a distributor!

What car was it for???

Maybe it's for his nephew....

The one for his Dart you made back in 2016 ran great...


His brother has a restored 69 383 4 speed Road Runner, but refuses to do any mods to it and keep it stock... Not even little performance mods or hose clamp... :BangHead:

When we finished Eddie's Dart, they lined up at a stop light and raced... Eddie's little 340 smoked his @ss... Eddie was about 2 cars ahead and the 727 chirped the tires shifting into second gear, and Will just gave up and let off the gas...

However, Will got a second place at the Belvidere show one year....

So I doubt it was for Will's Roadrunner...
