Sorry to be confusing Josiah.
'In/It's My Experience' that the blue grommet Dura Spark II boxes last about 100,000 miles before they fail.
(Factory/Napa/Standard Automotive Products ones at least)

Yeah I'm not sure why they were there either because I'm pretty sure its just my friends grandfather and uncle. Maybe its because sometimes their friends work there? Idk

My project for today...

Organizing the recycling effort, which was originally a makeshift collection of cardboard boxes on the floor of the garage. I spruced it up a little bit, with the help of Rubbermaid.

From left to right, top to bottom.

Comingled recyclables, newspaper and magazines
Electric motors, coated aluminum, bare bright copper
Bare aluminum, data cabling

I think bare aluminum and bare bright copper are going to switch places.



From left to right

THHN, Romex, light iron

Evening guys.

Tanner I am sorry that I missed your post from last night, and I am very sorry to hear the news.

My son took first place in his den and 3rd place in the pack of about 50 scouts.





He was beaming from ear to ear! And now he'll go to the regionals.
