My big truck is a 2006 F250 with the dreaded 6.0 Powerstroke. 230k miles and it runs like a top. But, 20 years old and 230k mikes-the King Ranch leathers were getting aged. Today it got new seat foam and new leathers in the front. A lot simpler project than I anticipated. The replacements fit...

10 years ago wife and I were in living room of a different house. Watching tv. Had a “3 season” room on north of house and then I was next to double pane windows inside house. All of a sudden I felt hair on my neck and arms rise and “****” could see lightning go through porch/window across...

Last year our internet receiver on the roof was hit. It had Cat6 cable running down ridge cap, down side of house, and to basement entry point. I found 6” chunks of that cat6 cable for 100’ in every direction. Where it crossed my HVAC line set must have been the ground point. Blew a 1” hole in...

2 weeks ago dad drive the 100 miles here, called me from fishing store his truck wouldn’t start. 20 year old Silverado with 200k miles. I drive to town. Push in schrader valve on top of engine. Covered in gas spray, but it eventually bled down and wouldn’t repressurize. Pump wouldn’t kick on at...

You really took them to the woodshed.

I’m not sure how some people sleep with what should be on their conscience. I’m all about a good deal, but obvious exploitation just “because I can” is deplorable. The commentary about returning something that was obviously bad or didn’t perform to expectations has nothing to do with my gripes.

It takes a despicable human to buy something. Use it. And return it for a refund. Anybody justifying it is just as bad.

My boss in high school and college used 2.5 gallon chemical jugs that had been triple rinsed. Cut a chunk out if the top to drape them in. Left hooks clipped to top edge.

Pretty sure many Oreillys can do a scan and mix paint, including in a rattle can.

I don’t collect them to collect them. But I like having multiples. And variations. You just never know what little change will be the perfect one to reach some oddball bolt in an engine bay. Something I’ve pondered for a bit….my garage where I do basic repair/maintenance (up to head removals...

I’ve never smoked or drank, so no cigars or whiskey pictures. And this pic was taken a minute ago so not from the files. But I do have too many guns and knives. Here’s the church carry for the day. Great Eastern Cutlery 48 frame. I’m not a fan of a pen blade secondary, but when they’re selling...

I hate carpet. Our house the main level is all 3/4 oak. Bedrooms were carpet. Bathrooms and laundry tile. I’ve put wood in 1 kids room. Have the other prepped for install. Just gotta do it. Then will do my bedroom. Walkout basement was carpet squares when we moved in. We put wood look 6x36...

Garage/in front of garage/kitchen work. Bought my boy a 2011 Silverado for his school car. Way nicer than anything I had….Spoiled yeah, but polite, does anything asked of him, straight A’s, tests off the charts. Dash had typical GM cracks. And loud clunking every time you hit a bump under...

The troll level was expert by Zero Tolerance back when Benchmade was cutting up guns for the Portland police. I’d buy a ZT. I won’t ever buy a Benchmade.

I might carry a flipper mostly. But I like slip joints more. Here’s a 12 day of Christmas special DLT had made up by GEC. Crosscut Mammoth. It’s mostly carried to church.
