Parking brake

Great first post and writeup. Thanks for including us on the ride!

I think you just created your calendar pipeline....

:) That would be the second style I listed. DeCableGuy is correct. The NAPA ones won't work - if you look closely at the picture you can see the shoulder, which will interfere with the rail. Another difference is the curvature, or lack, of the top surface of the rails. Yours is peaked, the...

Not all black clips which fit over rails are the same. The governing factor is whether the rail in question has a ridge/shoulder around the outside. If it does the Performance Tool clips are correct (they have the inner shoulder which rides on the shoulder of the rail). If not, the Wrights...

I have no experience with the Top Off, but what about getting them the M18 portable fan? The size makes it pretty handy for a variety of uses - drying things, clearing fumes, and yes, for when the power goes out.

You seem to have an addiction to "possibility" (dreaming) and a job that requires attention to "probability" (reality). Each interferes with the other.....

Look - A chicken!!!

If you are still nervous, perhaps you could alleviate your anxiety by doing a dry run. Find a video with lighting instructions and follow along with the bottles turned off. Much of lighting a torch is muscle memory, so maybe develop that in advance. When you get comfortable with it in your...

My wife will close all the shades in the living room until it's like a cave "to save energy". And then leave the front door open in the middle of the Texas summer while she strolls out to the car.....

Or people in the Costco gas line who don't understand that the deliberately designed lane between the pumps is to allow customers to leapfrog, thereby speeding the line. They sit, thumb up ****, while a pump sits empty. On the other hand, I also fault Costco for not encouraging moving forward...
