    I'm not convinced there is even water in that kettle. =)
    Zoom in and you will see the glass top is not clear but coated with coffee. This is only the second time I've had to make coffee this way and the glass was clear and clean this morning when I made the coffee. =)=)

    Dang @SamIAm2 that guy had to be moving when he made contact
    The embedment kit they use for concrete poles have breakaway bolts they are meant to fall when hit to they don’t kill the driver. 
    That explains why the pole was leaning after the first time it was hit. Florida rains and hurricanes probably helped it move more in the sandy soil as two of the four bolts were broken previously. Driver wasn't going fast enough to break the other bolts but the impact shook the pole and the weakened top fell over. Thanks.

    I don't think I've ever seen a concrete power pole; it doesn't make sense to me... :confused:

    I think the pole just holds the wires, and doesn't conduct the 'lectricity.  But what do I know?

    I think he means that they are usually made of wood or even steel. Concrete does seem a poor choice of materials as they would require steel reinforcements to achieve any kind of strength in this application. I think.

    Concrete: adjective
    constituting an actual thing or instance; real:a concrete proof of his sincerity.pertaining to or concerned with realities or actual instances rather than abstractions; particular (opposed to general): concrete ideas.representing or applied to an actual substance or thing, as opposed to an abstract quality:The words “cat,” “water,” and “teacher” are concrete, whereas the words “truth,” “excellence,” and“adulthood” are abstract.

    Hope this helps clear up any confusion @Botch.     :)

    Just got home from the hospital. MIL had a failed operation to remove a tumor on her brain. They went up through the nose, but once in they couldn't remove it because of the size. Have to go back in, in a few weeks through the skull.
    But on the bright side, they fixed her undiagnosed deviated septum while they were up there, so there's that.

    Be strong for the family at this challenging time.

    On a totally unrelated note- glad you transitioned to the New Year w/o any personal issues with your NYE assignment.
    Stay safe out there.

    That really is unfortunate. All the best as she works through this journey.

    I appreciate the kind words. I just feel bad for my wife. Her dad passed in June and we moved her mom in with us shortly after. It has been tough on her.

    I get home from work a bit late tonight. 

    SWMBO:  "I put a small turkey in the oven, can you check it with the Thermapen thingy?  I think it has about 40 minutes to go"

    ME: "Sure"  (I check the turkey - it's 168F in the breast...)  "Ummm...it's done."  (Note idiot popup not popped up....)  B)

    Read this in an article, and wanted to share. 

    Quotation by Washington: “I hope I shall possess firmness enough to maintain what I consider the most enviable of all titles, the character of an honest man.”

    Washington was a wise man and a fine general.
    I think I would've been a good general, but who knows.

    They do and are much more structurally sound and can be manufactured with more height. They can handle a lot more weight( (wires are very heavy) and as Nola pointed out do not conduct electricity.

    Just pointing out what I thought @Botch meant. Seemed to be some confusion.

    Still seems a bit odd to me though. I would be interested in seeing the structural plans. Must have lots of steel as to eliminate deflection and eventual  delamination of the concrete from the reinforcement. Long thin freestanding concrete structures are rare to see. I did see some while down in Florida. Caught my eye immediately. Interesting to say the least.

    They have come a long way in concrete technology with composite infusion. Google "Concrete science".
