I've always had goog luck just putting things out at the curb with a cardboard sign "FREE TAKE". If the neighbors don't take them the scrap metal collectors will.

I had a set that I bought at Kmart sometime in the 1980s. They came with a plastic holder. I wall mounted the holder in the garage so that if I needed one, I could reach just outside the door to retrieve one without having to put my shoes on.

We used to call a mullet the Camaro crash helmet.

I'm sitting here watching a crime drama where the killer struck his victim in the head with a claw hammer. Wouldn't a deadblow have been more appropriate?

I have been quizzed by friends and family why I live in deep clean mode at the tender age of 68. The honest fact is that no male members on either side of my family have made it past 76 or 77 years old. I have a lot of fun stuff I want to do in my golden years and cleaning out sheds and storage...

Nice little kit for keeping OPE and powersports equipment going. Small enough to stash out of sight in the vehicle.

I've already been through the retirement> move>downsize process as of eight years ago. I've continued to sift and winnow since then. I think it will all fit in a SUV by now. A crammed full SUV, but a single load nonetheless. My wife can have my brother in law come and get it, or she can haul it...

In the 1960s, if you couldn't afford mag wheels, sometimes the guys would remove their hub caps and run their black steelies with chrome, acorn style lug nuts. I was around 8 or 9 years old when I asked Dad why they removed the hub caps. Without missing a beat he replied "I guess they want...

Due to past injuries, my hands are somewhat screwed up. I don't have the grip strength or manual dexterity I once had. I keep two pair of needle nose pliers in a kitchen drawer to assist with many tasks. One pair of 7 inch Kleins and pair of 8 inch Channellock brand. They help me open tough...

Yeah, I'd say they are. Widely available, frequently discounted and with an easily exercised warranty.

Ski mask, gloves, rope, cable ties, duct tape, bleach, shovel and a big hunting knife.

Our neighbor donated a dead Ford Falcon for me to explore when I became mechanically curious. Dad put it out behind the workshop and let me dismantle it as much as I could. When I finished the Falcon and we had hauled it's remains to the dump, he towed home an old hump backed Volvo and let me...

Reminds me of Dad's service van back in the day. A sea of cardboard cartons full of tools, parts and hardware, each carefully sorted and arranged so that he knew exactly where everything was. It worked for him.
