Damn bro, gas station food no good. But if you're getting alot of exercise it maybe doesn't matter that much

Long as this thread has (d)evolved into a minimalistic angle re how to get the most out of the least- I never wash my trucks but I keep them blown off after every job and when pollen or mildew etc accumulate I remove it all with Windex and a rag. It cuts like a knife thru all grime etc and...

I'm psyched to try it! If it nukes the ratcheting effect I will be forever grateful. The head mechanic for bucket trucks where I take mine for inspections etc says they all ratchet soon after they are put into use, as mine also did. Where do I get acetone?

You've mentioned that mix before. My main use of the WD is to lube the axle/bearing that holds the basket to upper boom on my terex bucket truck. The manufacturer should definitely have put a zerk there but they didn't so you have to use spray lube. The basket "ratchets" during self leveling...

I was just going to spray it out of the cans into the bottle, there's enough in the cans that they will still spray when held vertically

Doh, I'd forgotten this thread. But it is good stuff. I still work hard at jettisoning non important stuff and it gets easier with practice. But there is still that "dimes holding up dollars" urge as Kyle mentioned. Like keeping 5 mostly empty cans of WD-40; they are aren't full enough to...

That's very impressive but why do you hand file those chains instead of using a grinder?

@FireFighterZero , your question is haunting me a bit. Do you care to elaborate on your maracas question? Were you being flippant or were you honestly surprised about the concept of someone choosing to discard a simple percussion musical instrument. Like maybe it illustrates a significant...

Yo, when we nuked the giant beech a couple days ago I was thinking of you and grateful you sorted out the mind bending problems I had with a 42" bar because I was running .50 gauge on a .63 gauge bar..... :|: :|: :|:

I have a sweet bike maintenance stand waiting at the end of the driveway now for it's new forever home.

Got it

I'd save em for burning in the stove, what else could they be good for?

Err, pls define scraps/drops

Excellent question. When I'm straightening things up and I come across something that seems neglected yet also potentially cool or useful, I'll hang it up in a more prominent spot so that it stays on my radar and hopefully sees some use. The maracas were that kind of thing. I hung em up with...

MB did it that way iirc. I already cut up the wooden ones into kindling. I have a lot of fiberglass ones that are more or less unbreakable

Found out I was extremely rich in old rake handles:dude::|:

I went through a bunch of stuff. Again, it's not a question of cleaning out junk, its a Q of keeping or discarding perfect condition yet un-used stuff. What the MIck and Sean said make a lot of sense. One junky thing I kept: my first ever saddle and first bucket harness, both trashed from...

I have an innate drive to keep things spare and minimal yet at the same time I have a hard time discarding stuff that seemingly could be useful. So over time, I find things that are in perfect condition and potentially useful adding up yet absolutely never used. So I'm doing a bit of a clean...
