Recruiting Football Talk VII

[InVOLuntary]

Our water heater went out in December and I've had 3 leaks in the supply line since I replaced it (all within 4' of the water heater). It's old copper lines that's been in since the 70s and the solder has been leaking in different joints. I cut the last old joint out tonight. It was suppose to be a 10 minute fix, that took me an hour. I've got $50 worth of materials in a 4' run of copper pipe.

Why are Shark bites so expensive!?!

 

[knoxvol52]

of course. don't have that in my cable lineup. #1 team in nation, gets pushed to U for Women's Olympic Archery Pre-qual.

*I draw the line at diverging diamonds. Multilane traffic and roundabouts..... SMH

I’ll be a picky engineer and say that’s not even a roundabout. That’s a traffic circle and a bad one at that. The modern roundabout is only similar to those in the fact that they both have a circle. Everything else is different.

And the Yankees have rotaries, which are also bad. The modern roundabout is sourced from France, England, and the like and took shape in the 90’s. Anything older than that is a poor design, IMO.

Get ready for more diverging diamond interchanges by the way.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Just the new water heater. It's taller than the old one. I think the age of the pipes and the height of the new one put too much pressure on the joints. It's all new ..... now

Did you put an expansion tank on it?

Jug Handles are the worst. May only exist in New Jersey. Only place I’ve ever seen them. Oh you want to turn left? Take the next right.

Wait?? What??!! Are you insulting me? I would be a great face for the Vols. The real me, not these fake, slanderous forgeries they keep posting in jealousy.

you do any designs in Chattanooga. apparently they, ie you, are looking at preliminary design of I24 around Lookout Mountain/ Moccasin Bend..not a lot of room there.

Well we have a few here, but mostly in west TN. There’s all kinds of different intersection designs. IDK if anyone has gone to Orange Beach, but they have U-turns errwhere now.

I tend toward roundabouts as the best in most situations however.

 

[knoxvol52]

Don't know how many wrestling fans here but I watched "The Iron Claw". Was a great movie about life and times of the Von Erich family.

Love a well placed roundabout.

Hate that my fellow American drivers can’t seem to figure out how they’re supposed to work. Makes them very frustrating.

Can I get a "Hell Yea!"

I’m working on a study on that right now. In the end, it’s probably going to look like I-70 in Glenwood Canyon except 6 lanes instead of 4. Look for lots of walls, bridges overlapping, etc. Could have a choice lane in each direction.

 

[Glitch]

I've learned to ignore things like this.

What’s the best advice to trying to get rid of a mole that is terrorizing my yard

Dermatologist.

gonna be a travel nightmare, but needs to be done. I saw the choice lane idea the other day, maybe even elevated iirc.

It's Gameday Morans!

[SoilVol]

How does the trap work? (If there's multiple holes. I'm talking a 100+ sq ft area)

You set a couple out over the tunnels and step the tunnel down. The moles fix the tunnel and trip the trap, which shoots spring-loaded spikes down.

Hoosiers will start Connor Foley. Big RH at 6’5” 235 lbs who can touch 100 mph. Sophomore who was a reliever last year. (#28) The Tennessee "Hoosier Daddy?" Volunteers like to hit RH burners.

 

[JCVol00]

Alternate/new uniforms coming soon? Peep the last few seconds of the video

 

[TechnoVol]

I'll say, Tony has our guys sharp. We pick guys off at 1st on the reg. That's the kind of stuff that will carry us far.




Also, I love how Kirby just walks off with no emotion.

I've noticed that lately with several of our guys. They seem pretty stoic on the field for the most part.

 

[JCVol00]

Oh yea we’re definitely getting some sort of new uniform or new smokey gray uniform

 

[Orange.]

I liked how the Stache set that NKU baserunner up for the pickoff by making some feints, looking right at him and throwing pretty nearly in slo-mo. Once the guy got used to the drill, Kirby cocked that leg and then fired suddenly to first. AJ picked the same guy off earlier. Vols, y'all.
