    What is the deal with these people taking the trouble to pick up the turd in a baggie, but then leaving the damned bag right there? It's a hazard I've learned to look out for--but this one was bare and hidden in a clump of cheatgrass.

    Mostly yard and parking lot today. I was weed whackin' the verge of the parking lot when I hit a concealed dog turd bomb--nice and fresh, too! Spattered me head-to-toe. I'm going to get you--and your little dog too!

    Triple square set recommendations

    I bought a Capri 3/8" drive for changing the CVs on my Vanagon (the only triple-squares on that rig). Worked great and shows no wear after however many bolts that was, using an impact for the removal. Capri have a nice finish, too--if that matters to you.

    Ryobi telescoping power scrubber for boat
