Yesterday (Wednesday) I found a notice on the front door from the UPS guy that he tried to deliver a package and we weren't home. We were told to expect a package of documents from the lawyer, so we figured that must be what it was. Today (Thursday) they dellvered the package. It was the...

The huge aerospace plant I worked at had dozens of fire extinguishers stored outside on equipment pads, electrical substations, LN2 pads, fenced enclosures for materials, chemicals, and such. After finding some plugged by dirt daubers, we bought a selection of small corks and corked them all...
