So turbines, as well as propellors, may be feathered?Oh good, the lunchtime bird strike is here!
Generally, they just blow parts out the tail pipe and catch fire.
When it comes to birds, if they are "ingested", for the most part the smaller birds get finely blended and blown out the bybass without damage. Larger birds get you to land in the Hudson.
At the eye doctor, they slid me in. Have sat infront of every machine here and now my pupils look like Mr Burns from the Simpsons when he was an alien in the woods.
She says my eyes are fine, but something is causing my optical nerves to suffer.
Just waiting to see if I should goto a specialist or the hospital...

So a drainage pipe underneath our concrete driveway that diverts water from one of the gutter downspouts is likely blocked.
I phone a plumbing company and state I need it camera scoped/cleaned - "We don't deal with that sort of issue".
Eff's sake, well it's not a concrete company I need...

I remember that demon. Resides in the North Valley as well. Brootal bastard.
Got back from Galapagos last week, btw.
Pics up on flickr, and flickr, and flickr.
Ecuador as a whole was rad, and Galapagos was a once-in-a-lifetime type thing.
It doesn't help, but i once went down the rabbit hole (
) watching an Australian guy unclog those types of pipes on YouTube. Bud has over 500k subscribers...
after 3 months on a waitlist, I was just able to place my order for this bad boy:
looking forward to the paradigm shift in my daily coffee...

The second plumbing company who I'd actually managed to get a service appointment booked for Wednesday just phoned back and cancelled, they don't deal with anything guttering.It doesn't help, but i once went down the rabbit hole (
It's an underground pipe that needs scoped and cleaned. I can shit down it and call it a sewer pipe if it makes them feel better...
Still hot as balls, but now also sweatier than balls with the dew point in mid-70s. 
‘tis that?
Sounds like free lunch to me. Little hot sauce, maybe some onions, deliciousOh good, the lunchtime bird strike is here!

Hopefully the last grinder I'll ever buy. It should be quieter, and simplify my grinding process in the mornings. The first will make my wife happy, the second makes me happy. Also, my coffee should taste much better, and I should be able to play around with the flavour profiles of the beans more.
The older I get, the more it feels like I’m slowly roasting to death every summer. Between water and the heat, the valley may not support life for much longer.

You’re not wrong.
Family is either here or in Texas, and neither are places I want to live in.
This isn’t a joke. The entire SW of the US is not going to be in a good place in the next couple of decades. The projections are clear as day, yet somehow humans collectively ignore them, despite us seeing, if anything that climate models are too conservative. This applies to y’all CO monkeys too. Run away.
It's a blockage ~10' down/along a 4" PVC pipe. It needs a plumbing company to scope it, then clear it. But apparently there's some weird conflict that prevents any of them wanting to do that...
I lived (and grew up) in the North Valley and then moved to the Central Valley. Then had several pleasant weather years in coastal VC. Then, I moved to the South. I now sweat when I blink. When my daughter is in college and I have the opportunity to move to the mountains… it’s on.The older I get, the more it feels like I’m slowly roasting to death every summer.

I have the same general plan: Get the hell out of here after my two oldest finish high school. Where to is anybody’s guess at this point.
new england is full
IIRC, northern NY state and inland Vermont are statistically ‘safest from climate change’ in the US.
Getting out of California was the best thing I’ve ever been talked into.
upstate ny is full of magatards. vt has its share too.
Let's see... WA/OR will have CA weather in about 15yrs. Hmm... Plus skiing and riding. Oh! And they actually have funding for schools and shit. Given I'm not rich enough for NZ and apparently my industry background is "not currently in demand", that seems to be a bit off the table. Plus it gets us over to Cascadia for when the inevitable Balkanizing occurs.
Montana.
I'm literally not taking a job in helena because I spend too much time outside by myself and......bears.
it's bears
Can you get a plunger on the end of the 4" pipe?
