When the wife complains about having too many tools, just buy more. She's still going to be upset. But you get a new tool out of it. Follow me for more marital advice. :oops:

Ah, I see it now.

Is this some sort of trick photography? Because I can't see where the metal (for the spring) is coming from.

I tried to be a delegate in the RNC in 2012. A buddy of mine tried to be one for the DNC that same year. We swapped notes and both come to the conclusion that elections are rigged from the bottom up. Primaries are a scam. Conventions are a scam. And it's all fueled by the media. Fact: If...

"Lesser of two evils" only keeps the uniparty alive and well. Wanna see the right and the left come together on an issue? Watch a 3rd party candidate start leading in the polls. The R & D's will team up to squash the 3rd party (or independent) candidate. Before FRKjr dropped the DNC, he was...

You ain't kidding. Both my senators and my congressman don't have a clue about fiscal conservatism. Or Constitutional conservatism, for that matter. This is the GOP now a days though. It's either vote for the left or RINO's. And it's looking like it's going to be Trump & Biden again...

I'm a fiscal conservative (not a Republican). I simply haven't had no one to vote for since 2016. 3rd party and writes in's are a joke.

One of my favorite lines in Casablanca... "If you'll excuse me gentlemen. You're business is politics. Mine is running a saloon." And then walks away.

It makes no sense to connect something that harnesses the motor, without being able to access the motor. And the inserts that connect it all, aren't accessible either. You can't only see a few of them. So I'm going with this one. And going to buy a few extra filters just in case this one NLA...

Yeah this thin I remember the 90's, saying that same thing.

Oh yeah. Even all the way up into my 40's, I could eat a horse and never gain a lb. 2 hours later, finish off 1/2 a chocolate pie. I'd eat so much sugar I could start a diabetes factory. With over production layoffs within a week. I think that's where this 20 extra lbs came from. My...

I have a little egg skillet. But that means washing two pans just for breakfast. I never cook anything on high heat. (stove top) The closest I get is medium high, when I'm in a hurry. But that's always with the cast iron. I clean my cast iron two ways. Depending on how bad it is. If it's...

I'm only about 5'10", 185lb. I'm about 2lbs overs weight. But I feel like i'm 20lbs over because I was 165lbs for probably 30 years. It's all in my gut too. I'm not sure where this thing come from. My dad had a belly like this. I thought it was a beer belly because he drank a lot of beer...

In the last couple of years, I've really got into cooking. Trying to master some of my moms recipes that I miss so much. My brother was joking with me saying I was going make a great wife someday. I replied, I'm already the best wife I've ever had. Great cook. Great around the house. Great...

I'm really thinking about the OXO. Also someone on another forum mentioned the carbon steel. I'm gonna check those out too. I'm looking for low maintenance. 90% of the time, I'm just cooking breakfast in these. When I'm cooking supper, it's almost always the cast iron I'm cooking in. The...

I'm in the market for a new skillet. Wanting to get a good one this time. Cancer rates got me thinking about getting away from Teflon. Ceramic non stick seems to becoming a scam, because even those have to have coating to make them non stick. And that coating wears off within a year or so...

I remember OSHA coming in on an Exxon compression station we were building. It was literally hide and seek most of the day.

Part 2 of the cat man is hilarious

I just started watching them too. I don't know how many video's he's made, but it seems like he's got a never ending supply of hilarious content & idea's. And the best part is, if you've ever worked construction, you know that most of this stuff are actual events. Like the red tape around...

The one about having lunch with Pablo is good too. Or the birthday party at Pablo's.

Uh huh.... Moving equipment (with Pablo still in it)... That was hilarious.

Working man humor. This guy is hilarious. (Caution, their language is off the chain)

I had an old Honda Rancher with a bad needle. I used a briggs needle and it ran like a top.

Sazza frazzin razzin....... Honeywell 53000C air purifier. This darn thing is amazing. I love it. The Air and pre filters are high. but well worth it. Or so I thought. I just spent $120 on new filters. I install them, turn it on and "POP." No smell, nothing is turning. It just stopped...

Fuel injectors.

From what I understand, there's way worse things in todays gas than Ethanol. Gasoline storage has always been an issue, even before ethanol. Gas left over in carburetors and fuel tanks have been causing the same damage to carbs forever. That saloon guy made a video of this a few years ago...

Sorry, this ain't mechanical or mower related. But I just couldn't help myself.

So many lawn services around mowing yards of people who have kids old enough to mow.

Yes, her husband needs a new hip. They're moving out of the rental. I think they're downsizing to a shop at their home.

I watched two video's yesterday of shops closing down. One was due to health issues and moving. One was Steve's small engine saloon. Except for Youtube content he's going to keep doing, he's taking my route. Only doing his friends and family repairs. His complaints are about the same as ours.

It might not be a bad idea to grab a bunch of engine from the scrap yard and get them running. Theirs a ton of them that get thrown away that just need something minor, like a carb rebuild. When I first got into this business, this is how I made most of my money. And to be honest, it was more...

I realize the restoration is probably true.

Here's a good one. Gun Restoration, Colt M1911 U.S. ARMY 1914, (with test fire).

I love these restoration video's. Complete restoration of an old rusty Stihl chainsaw

Those spare parts tend to dwindle down by taking the last one and forgetting to order more. I changed a solenoid last night, and just knew I had like 4 of these. Turn outs, I only had 1. Then it dawned on me. The last time I used one, I said to myself, "Self (I knew it was me, I recognized my...

I fixed someone's mower last night. He called my brother today and said he'd give us two deer for the price of the repairs. I agreed. No way I'm turning that down. Didn't have to get up early, dress like that kid on "A Christmas Story," trek through the woods and sit for hours freezing my...

LoL... I think it's called hibernation. I get that way every November. And I don't come out until the temp is close to my age.

Take care man. Keep in touch though.

Hoping your belly's got full, you got plenty of family time with smiles and laughter. And plenty of pie.

Thanks man. I think the brick is about 50 years old.

The snap on man comes to the truck shop across the street once a week. I make sure he see's me, then I pretend to hide from him. I can only imagine what he thinks. 1. Is this guy crazy? 2. Or does he own Snap-On money?

Well, the cat window turned out pretty good. I cut out an old closet door to fit the window. Then cut out for the cat door. Everything went together smoothly. It's installed and caulked. The wooden part around it (closet door) was painted. There's a ledge on the outside and inside for the cat...
