Washington passed a law that makes employers list a salary range.
Colorado has a similar law on the books as of the beginning of last year.
Some companies were listing $1mm ranges and got penalized by labor too. Which is awesome.
Gave two bicycles and a pile of bike parts to local LBS.
Hooked trailer to the Moonlander, loaded up chain saw and all that, went way up on a local rocky ridge, assisted by deer flies and mosquitos, to address some windfall. Drank a lot of water.

How did the board meeting go, JBP?
Fucked up. I'm setting up one-on-one meetings with some of the younger/newer board members.
My oldest turned 9 today. It's going too fast. I got him a new Ripcord for his bday as his old Spawn looked like a clown bike.
dude. oldest turned 17 today...
one more year and i'm halfway to being an empty nester. so good.
I don't know. This sort of stuff hits me hard lately. Makes you realize life goes quick. Trying to make the best of it with my kids while they still want to hang out with me.

i know it's taco tuesday, but kiddo requested ny strips. that plus roasted potatoes and sauteed okra. it's all gone now...
we had tacos last night, tonight was Falafel Wraps
Jesus it's good I don't live in a country where everyone has guns. If someone is having a party in my or a building next to mine (during weekdays laaaaate AF at night, I get what the weekends are for) and then is a dick when asked to maybe tone it down my inner crazy person wakes up. I literally look for ways to assault someones ego and to stand in someones way as much as possible. I'm fully ready to get punched. Hell todays winner of "I don't know how to live in the city" will probably win a free ticket to me being an asshole every time I see him for the next month. Jesus I hate entitled morons.
Waiting on a red light for a 16 miles single lane roadworks in bumfuck OR. I think we're 10 minutes in so far.
Hero dirt around here. Hot and dry. Did fine with no bug juice. Still cannot ride wheelies. Glad to know it's not bike specific. Or the bug juice.
Been hosed like this before, just sorta figured the company bragging about their exponential growth and actively recruiting would at least be somewhere in the realm of reasonable. I figured wrong.
Im also not entirely certain the way they stated pay was legal. It was a salaried position, with an expectation of 50 hours worked every week, but they state the pay as an hourly rate, calculated as 1/2000 of your salary, and missing work results in being docked by the pay rate for the hours missed. I can’t figure out how that’s not a Mickey Mouse way to demand 10 hours of unpaid overtime every week.
Kind of a bummer as they really did have some cool projects, but good fucking luck finding someone with my skill set, nevermind someone who will do it for what they’re trying to pay. Truthfully they’ll need to hire 3-4 people to cover all the things they want, or they could have just given me teh monies.
Seeing as how my major complaint at the current company is I’m just not pushed to work particularly hard I guess it could be worse.
I think the retaining wall on my sideyard is failing. The grass and dirt has a kind of, ripped apart/stretching terrain starting to develop and the retaining wall doesn't look vertical anymore. Also explains why the mower got more difficult to go up and down the stairs - they might have been getting pushed narrower.
Anybody know who one calls to actually investigate this type of stuff?

Does the lady have da ‘Rona too?
I guess that would depend on whether the retaining wall is a structural necessity or just a landscape feature.
Yep. 3.5' tall, substantial upslope.
She better plan for testing positive 5 days after you.
Going to see what letting dry out does. The ground is clearly saturated, so I'm going to change that zone to 3 heads, since they don't water even withing 10' of that area, leaving that whole area to dry out. Once it dries out, if it doesn't stabilize, it might end up escalating Wifey's backyard reno plan... Good thing rates are going up!

This too, is an automatic "no". Get fucked with that bullshit. You're lucky to get 40.
It's off by about 5*. Not drastic, but noticable. It's pressure treated 6*6's joined by rebar. One end, where the head is, is on an end (120* concave). That is starting to push out slightly.
Yup.
Just wait until you see the prices for retaining walls from landscape companies...Going to see what letting dry out does.

Yep.
It irritates the shit out of me that municipalities allow/allowed fucking wood for structural retaining walls.
Of all the american creative ways how to misuse wood, this must be my most "favorite" one. FTS.
