re: #242 Tommy’s cone of shame

Ah, the good old days. Dropped rivets don’t hurt much, thats what hard hats are for. We sometimes will dredge up old rivets under bridges. Up here rivets don’t fare well against salt, being swapped out with bolts.

The new bridges they are building around here to replace those terrible open grate bridges are concrete for the most part anymore. Either poured onsite or cast offsite and brought in and set. They learned their lesson about open grate bridges and salt and what it can do to the supports after years of corrosion. But it was still cool walking over an open grate looking down at the water going under you.
