I’ve seen pictures Who can say?

One word: “Vajazzled.”

How about simply “Olympia”?

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Peak Human.

😁

I’ll break out the canoe.

Good advice. Even then, I’ve been living alone now for over fifteen years, and I don’t know if I want to clutter up my life with a roommate anyway.

My new downstairs neighbor has been pretty cool so far (about 4 weeks now.) I repaired her laptop, and she helped me move my Mom’s old (urine stinking, destroyed) chair out from her assisted living unit and replace it with a new one.

Not exactly true. No tire guy I know uses a cage for airing up modern tires. The “containment cage” was something OSHA came up with back in the day when split rims were more common. Split rims use a separate detachable ring to hold the tire on. The good thing about them is they’re easier to put a tire on the rim. The

I’ve got an enormous collection of vintage B&W pictures (perhaps half of which are arty nudes) which includes a bunch of beach pictures from the teens through the sixties. I know that’s one of them, but I can’t find it so I’m yoinking.

If I knew who was responsible I would punch them in the nose. That is, if I were a punchy kinda guy and thought it would actually improve the situation, which I’m not and I don’t.

When I was a kid we had a cat named “Boots,” ironically because he was a yellow and orange striped cat. He liked to fight, so he only had one eye, a crooked broken tail, and the attitude of Mac the Knife.

Right?

Now playing

2:15 “I have the real one at home, that has Bad Mother Fucker right here.”

Not mine. My cats (theoretical right now, but soon precious, soon) will construct a replica Viking longship, fill it with the arms of my defeated foes, lovingly place my dead body on the pile, then set fire to it as the receding tide takes me towards Valhalla.

That is either one HUGE cat, or one tiny eagle. (I’ve seen lots of Eagles where I’ve lived, and the bloody things are enormous. Turkey Buzzards are even bigger.  Ravens are surprisingly large too.)

Frankly, some of my cats over the years would have fucked up that bear.  The cat may be smaller than the bear, but a Cuisinart is smaller than me and I’m not sticking my hand in there when it’s working.

Cute little COE Ford. Would love to have it, except that engine has got to go. Needs a nice little DT466 or Cumins in it. I’ve also seen them with a little 8V53 Detroit diesel in them that works well, or in some cases a 6V71.

About 9/16 end wrenches? Today, not so much. Pretty much anything newer than the 90's is required to have auto-adjusting slack adjusters. Typically they don’t have 9/16th adjusters. My truck/trailer for instance has 5/16th adjusters.
