    Raccoons

    Truck exhaust. Nice sleep they never wake up from. All you racoon huggers just pick one of these furry little bastards up and actually HUG it and see how that works out for you. Sorry Ricky and Ronnie Racoon, you were stupid, we're cleaning the racoon gene pool, and, sad for you, you're in...

    My New Garage Build

    I'll be damned - I hauled some of the first engine nacelles for the upgrade to Marietta out of Foley, AL for the C-5Bs back around '85 if I remember right. I've been gone a couple years Mike - just back and catching up on a thread I'd subscribed to when you were first going up. Beautiful...

    Testing T8 ballast

    I've got two four ft single bulb T8 lights under my cabinets for a short work bench and over the toolbox. They worked great for a couple years, now one is working and the other quit. Changed the bulb, no go. Any way to test these? Just toss it and get a new one? Thanks in advance...

    Putting some E-track in a trailer, how often to bolt down? (for a full dress Harley)

    Larry, my Wells Cargo has a 3/4" plywood floor in it. I have the same e-track mounted on each side of the trailer and down the middle - with 7/8" screws in every hole. I've hauled an Ultra Classic and a Deuce to Sturgis from SW Missouri every year for the last ten years and the tracks are...

    Snap-On Red Paint

    Snap On boxes have a sticker on the back with the PPG paint code on it - find the box you like the color of, copy the code and take it to any PPG dealer and they can hook you up.

    A reason to support Sears..

    Sport, sorry, you're an idiot - read your own ******* chart - that is China's EXPORTS, not IMPORTS...........THEY ARE GETTING THEIR STEEL FROM the US. If you can't understand this, walk down to your local steel supplier, and ask them who is responsible for increased steel prices.

    A reason to support Sears..

    THANK YOU SEARS! God Bless Sears and God Bless our Troops............ All you posters that are sooooo upset that Sears is getting tools made in China????? Shut the **** up! It is an American company, selling an American brand, and they will stand behind it 100% if it breaks. Do you know...

    Sell me a CORVETTE!! (Vette owners only..)

    BUY IT - check the cowl tag, or the tank sticker - the paint code for Ontario Orange was 991. Looks like it would make an excellent driver E - go for it. When you buy it and get it shined up, we want a NEW pic of Mrs. E on the hood of YOUR Vette!!
