https://parks.sccgov.org/santa-clara-county-parks/coyote-lake-harvey-bear-ranch-park California! We had a bit of rain on friday night but saturday was a breakout lovely day, we haven't had too many of those yet this year so that was nice timing. Also the reservoir is currently closed to all boating, normally during the summer there's motorized watercraft buzzing around out past those white buoys and that sucks a lot. There were lots of coots. I love coots! A couple of kids chased these ones into the water.    Those are trees sticking out of the water, which shows how low the reservoir has been for like the last decade, and you can also see the high water mark in them, the flooding must have been really bad in January. There was driftwood in our campsite at the high water mark. Leperflesh fucked around with this message at 23:16 on Apr 10, 2023 |

People had to evacuate after they built homes in the lake bed which seems unwise. When the Sierras melt this thing might get crazy. It used to be bigger than Lake Tahoe.

They were releasing from Coyote, but I'm not sure if that's for flood control reasons or just to give the river a good flow for the fish maybe.

Leperflesh posted:I can understand the motivation. They want to show lower inventory on the balance sheet, because high inventory implies either a slowdown in sales, or mismanagement of purchasing. The ideal "most efficient" company receives inventory just in time to sell it (or manufacture something from it or whatever). Buying stuff early and then warehousing it is super good for resiliency and long-term survival, as long as you do actually use the stuff eventually, but it's less profitable so stock markets do not reward that. Yeah its this.

I hosed up cooking the leftover confit potatoes by frying them all in 1 go instead of in smaller batches. The oil temp dropped and it took forever to crisp up, and in the meantime they got oily as hell. I still ate them but they were so greasy I got a tummy ache.

There's hundreds (thousands?) of truckloads of soil to be hauled, that driver has a hazmat cert, and there's a national shortage of truck drivers

Luckily we can soon get teenagers with their learner's permit driving these trucks. Bonus points for them being young and cheap!

I spent part of the evening sitting outside in my apartment building's backyard, smoking some weed and listening to music. I got a ding letter from a job I was really hoping to land, so I decided to just cope.

I should have been more clear - I'm not at all shocked about a 74-year-old truck driver. I'm interested to hear about how he was picked for a high-profile hazmat load. And whether he was an employee of a trucking company or an owner-operator. (i.e. awarding a contract to haul the dirt away to a company or doing it as cheaply as possible) I suppose I shouldn't be surprised if it was as simple as leper's suggestion where they only looked at the hazmat cert.

It's not like a movie where they had to go knock on Cledus Snow's door to ask him to come out of retirement for one more haul. Trucker had the qualifications to pull the load that's all that matters because there is such a shortage of drivers you take what you get.

I immediately went out and celebrated last night and forgot to respond so just wanted to say thanks for all the congrats. I have 2 weeks before I start so it’ll be nice to just have 2 weeks to do whatever I want and not do any interviews or apply for anything. And to answer the question, no it wasn’t the one where HR was dicking me around. This company has a great name in the industry and I’m amped to work for them.

Missed it, but congrats Joey. Seems like it’s been awhile but glad you found someone who didn’t want to jerk you off. Economists keep whining about a hot labor market but honestly I think it’s mostly smoke outside a few specific sectors.

Got back from our trip up north, so last night I swapped my wife's tires BACK to the summer ones and changed the oil in her car. Almost got the full trifecta of getting the rear windshield wiper blade swapped out, but apparently I either grabbed the wrong one or the book at Wal-Mart was wrong about which one I should have grabbed  Leper's post about frogs makes me hopeful ours will be in full chorus on Friday when I'm on the deck drinking a beer and having my pre-Valheim
