It's Jaxon's 4th Gotcha day today. He's hanging out with his mom at the lake while I am stuck at work!

My valentines was replacing (or trying to replace) the master cylinder in the wife's truck. I got home from work, pulled the old one out, went to set the new one in the vice to bench bleed it, and realized they sent me the wrong one. Off to the Auto parts store to get the right one... and by...

When I was in school, there were some classes that were only offered online. I HATED them. They provided little to no more value than if I went out and bought a textbook and read it myself. I came to view those few classes that I was forced to take online as a waste of my time. However, I did...

$200 for Lug nuts? Ouch. I have dealt with the two part lug nut issue for years. (I have a problem with buying crappy old Ford Rangers) Just encountered it again last week doing the brakes on my wife's 2014 Escape. Luckily when they swell, you can hammer the 22 on, and "if" it strips, you can...

If you were a fanatic of tractors as he is, you might be able to find him.

I always get excited when I see Cleaning Up My Shop pop up on my watched threads...

On the new power tools platform issue- I am invested into Ryobi because my dad had Ryobi and he likes to buy me tools for birthday and Christmas presents. (not that I am complaining!) But at this point I can't switch brands. I bought into the Milwaukee M12 series after using a few of a buddies...

Feel better Jim!

I agree, I always want to pay a fair price for things that I buy, and I want to get paid a fair price for things I sell. I have no problem with hearing a low offer, because I always start on the low side of fair, knowing you have a hard time negotiating down from a higher offer. Attitude is...

At least your new water heater will cost you an average of $136 less per year to run!

I've been putting these 12x24 tiles up in my shower since the 4th. They are finicky. I do a few, get them where I like them and have to walk away because I get frustrated with them. I am past the half way mark, just some hard ones left! :LOL:

My boy Jax is the same way. He will climb all over me and force me to pet him, scratch him, rub him, beat him, (kidding, I don't beat my dog!) anything for contact. I could sit there and pull his coat out by the fistful, and he would stand there and smile and wag his tail and mush on me to get...

I'll bet the roses smell a lot like chicken s#it out on Quaker Rd. Good to see you posting again Mike. I can't wait to see where "retirement" takes you and the farm.

I asked what you bill not what you make! :LOL:

What do you bill your time at hourly when you are working for someone else? I see 14 hours of billable time that you just freed up by ordering those rims. If you take your hourly rate x 14 off the cost of those rims, the cost will be easier to swallow. And that 14 hours is if everything goes...

We use this stuff at work. It cuts through the coolant/chip/dust grime better than anything else we have tried. https://www.industrialsalesgroupllc.com/uploads/6/4/1/3/64138289/cleaner_100_ec_4031800__uk___en__pi.pdf

Your before pictures look like my dad built that house! He built himself a new house in 2009 and painted the walls the same ugly yellow. (He said it made the house look "rich". He used a very similar chandileer over the dining room table and in the front foyer, and had wall sconces to match. and...

Toss a short length of chain in, fill the tank half way with water, and strap it to a jacked up wheel of a working tractor and let it spin for an hour or so- it will take all the chunks out at least. I have done that on a few different farmall tanks and it always amazes me how much sludge comes...

I use solidworks and solidworks CAM at work- if you run into any roadblocks send a message. It is pretty intuitive, start in the Solidworks CAM feature tree, and work that tree top to bottom. When I went to class on it, the instructor referred to it as the "cut what" tab. select your machine...
