When writing, do you put a dash (-) through your 7's, 0's, and/or Z's?

Riveting topic needs your response. TIA

I dash the 7 to differentiate from my open 2's, nothing for Z's or zeroes.

Do something :catfight:

10 yrs old. Same problem with new and old board. They said it’s getting 24v outside whatever that means

Any thoughts on this A/C electrical issue?

Posted by The Mick on 9/9/26 at 12:25 pm

Two separate AC guys have tried and both were stumped.

Rheem keeps blowing fuse and transformer. They tried new circuit board, rewired whole unit from inside to outside, etc and can’t find the problem. As soon as they plug it in the fuse blows immediately. I don’t know what fuse or where it is, but I’m 0 for 2.

I wish he wasn't eligible either but Chambliss didn't go pro.

Chambliss knew he was out of eligibility (under the old rules) and got a hometown judge to help him. And I don't dislike Chambliss, but how different is that than an undrafted player?

Nothing seems to matter nowadays. Where do you draw the line? Guys that know they're out of eligibility but file suit for an extra year? Guys who entered NFL draft but didn't get drafted? NFL draftees that didn't make a team?

The whole thing is a shite show.

I've had an Echo weed eater and backpack blower going on 22 years now and they still start easily. Great product.

Isn't that exactly what Chambliss and others have done?

re: Question about back porch TV mount

Posted by The Mick on 8/25/26 at 1:20 pm to Crescent Connection

set something like a spacer on the bracket of whichever side needs to be heightened (where the bracket hooks over the mount bar). Wrap tape around it, any kind of rig would do.

PS - I would avoid loosening anything in the brick if at all possible.
