    The worst are the heater a/c control doors/flaps. Underneath the dash and about impossible to get to. You have to stand on your head. Even figuring out how to operate a strange vehicles heat controls while driving is a challenge. The old 2 slides and a blower switch worked fine for me and...

    I took out the dash for my bud's fairly new Chevy pickup. Thing went dead. Found a place that refurbishes for a third of the price of a refurbished one. About two weeks total turnaround. He was happy. Easier job than I thought. I dread problems with stupid things like push to start or...

    You can make a nice explosion with a plastic 1 gallon jug. Get you acetylene torch burning perfect. Snuff it out and fill up gallon jug with some water in the bottom for weight. Get people way back from fire. Toss it in. My son did garbage bags full till he got smarter. Had the cops at his...

    It has to be contained to be a major boom. If it settled in a hollow, then got ignited it might make a mild boom. Gasoline will do that. I guess a massive leak, like at a plant would go boom. Would not want to test the theory. I never knew, unlike propane, natural gas is lighter that air...

    How'd it go today?

    Polyurethane paint gives off hydrogen cyanide and some other nasty stuff.

    How'd it go today?

    Could be. I know lead paint still is around. One would think it would be banned by now.

    How'd it go today?

    I never have had a bad sore throat from welding and I have done a lot of it. I know covid is on the uptick.

    How'd it go today?

    Speed Queens are still supposed to still be a durable make. Not cheap though. Used one might be a good option.

    I got 31s cables from that source. Really nice. Highly flexible and the tractor starts like it never did before. It used to have to six volts in series. Two twelves much cheaper. Works great.

    Yes. Oahu. You are right. It's been a few years and I couldn't remember. It is quite striking in person. The place is worth a stop if you are there. Good baked goods also. It probably has grown since we were there.

    Have you been to the Green World Coffee Farm close to the North Shore? The counter is gorgeous. Acacia I suspect.

    How'd it go today?

    I had a killer one at my treehouse when I was young. On the side of a hill. I had to put up a little platform at the top of the hill so you had enough height to not scrub. If you ran sideways on your takeoff you would do a giant circle. I think it caused a broken arm and a concussion...

    How'd it go today?

    20 years ago when we used to do some roof jobs I measured up a cut up farm house and gave a farmer freind a bid. He told me you pretty much have the job, just going to get one more bid. I told him if it came in lower let me know. Planned on the job. Waited for the go ahead til I drove by and...

    What Did Ya'll Have For Dinner Tonight?

    A bud I grew up with fished commercially in Alaska for years. He lived in Homer. He hated crabbing. When he was off work he would go out fishing in a skiff. He landed a halibut about 2 feet shorter than the boat he was in.

    Hunting 2021

    We used to have a lot in hay fields and on the side of creek banks. Since coyotes came around they have moved up around houses and barns where there is less coyote traffic.
