Yesterday Gail and I went to Midas, she endured the nekkid ride. What a trooper. Anyhoo, went there so I could purchase a used impact wrench from the owner's son. My impact wrenches won't even budge a tire stud nut. I paid $100 for a Mac Tools model that usually sells for over $350. Yes it's beat a bit but the price was right. Now I should be able to yank them tires off and paint them calipers. I'll take pics and whatnot once I actually start.
I should get me an impact wrench...

They've gotta locate all of the buried utilities before digging, so thats probably what the paint marks were. Wouldn't want to cut into a gas line and then cut an electrical conduit right after...
I can say from personal experience that hitting a gas main with an excavator will undoubtedly lead to a bad day.

White lines would denote communication or water IIRC. Red should be power, yellow is gas.

Related, we have a 345kV oil static line running through our site. It feeds most of northeast Manhattan. EVERYONE knows where that sucker is.

FINALLY able to post back in here!
Happy to see another sort of meme war broke out :cwl:
Like the new avatar, but looks like you'll have a slower commute with that beast. What's the mpg, you should go turbo or is it the 3.6?

Not really those kinds of markings. Actually just a couple circles with a dot in the middle. One circle was x'd out like someone put it in the wrong place and then they added another. It's right in line with the two storm drains on each side of our street. I'm thinking the pipe between the two is faulty and has to be replaced like the culvert further up the other street. It's also where the asphalt has been falling apart for years.

In that case, sounds like a distraction to steal your jeep...stop investigating and get back to your house!!!
