    NFL 2018

    Just glad I didn't draft Bell in any of my leagues. I think he'll be back by week 3 but sucks for owners for first couple weeks.

    Last thing watched on netflix / Amazon..................

    Netflix seems to be going for quantity over quality lately though. So many new shows I can't keep up and some are really bad. I felt dumber after watching 1 episode of disjointed.

    Last thing watched on netflix / Amazon..................

    Started S2 last night. Made it through a couple episodes. It holds up. Made me remember how much I liked S1.

    Handwritten notes w/pencil

    I think this has been discussed before.The general consensus was that it is not allowed. Just make copies of your hand written notes or like you mentioned, start writing in pen.  It's up to the proctor but not worth any added stress to worry about getting booted for pencil writing.

    Stationing for road networks?

    I hope I am not oversimplifying but your stations should be laid out on a set increment and the additional stations added to show vertical, horizontal, or template changes. If you are not trying to actually create models and just produce a layout I would not add extra sections for intersections...

    Stationing for road networks?

    Are you asking how to setup your template so it creates your section but recognizes and applies a tie-in at intersections?

    15 FE Exam Waiver

    I'd say if you were already at 15 years that may be an option. With a year and half before eligibility I would just go ahead and take the FE. It will give you a good way to brush up on the basics and get you accustomed to studying again. Plus it would eliminate the need to provide back up data...

    Home Improvement/Repair Questions

    I'm hoping its not to far down. We are on a hill is the only reason I'm thinking it may be a little deeper than average. We actually have steel pipe. Plumber was surprised. It's not very common. Could be part of our issue.  I'm going to have to look up DIP. Not familiar with it.

    Home Improvement/Repair Questions

    I had the pros do the cleanout through the existing access point that is over 150' away from sewer tie in. I'm going to be digging to install a new cleanout so that I can use a standard length snake instead of the big industrial one I have to pay the pros to bring. In Texas it is just "Texas One...

    Home Improvement/Repair Questions

    About to tackle the fun job of adding a cleanout to my main line. For some reason my house was only built with a single cleanout and it is over 150' from the tie-in to the sewer. On the semi frequent occasion it gets clogged we have to call in the pros instead me just renting a $30 snake because...

    Having a back-up plan

    It would be nice to see an uptick.  My opinion may be shortsided but I think the heyday may be going out with the coal industry. It will just be a smaller piece of the pie but it will always be around.

    Having a back-up plan

    Mining is really on a downslide right now. It wont fizzle out completely but the demand for mining engineers is a fraction of what it once was.

    Sometimes you just need to scream!!!

    We had a waitress at Texas Roadhouse tell our table that if we need anything "just throw some peanuts I'll come over." Nieces took it literally. After the third time getting pelted while taking another tables order she didn't think it was funny anymore.
