netflix is being so dumb. damnit. i have it to myself for a change! dont tell me its my connection, everything else works, assholes.

finally got it to come back up, and the video quality is shit. not a big deal in the long run, but for fuck's sake! you cant give us good quality then toss us back into the early 90's.

 

Just had a fire here at work. Got a few second video but cant post it from my phone.

 

smoke flavouring the dog food?

 

He Also Makes Cat Food, I Can't Imagine The Smell Of A Singed Pussie.... :yikes:



Cheers Glen.

 

Hit one of my favorite dumpsters today. Got a pair of large craftsman pliers and a come-along with extra straps.

Pliers are the slip-joint type with ratchet teeth along the groove, instead of individual slots for the fulcrum. I assume someone thought it was busted and threw it out, or got frustrated with the design (admittedly, they can suck in some situations - but outperform in others). Come-along is missing the handle sleeve, so it isn't quite as comfortable - but shit, all it needs is a piece of hose or something stuck over it and it'll be good as new.

Good shit. I couldn't believe either of them, I was sure there would be more wrong.

 

More like cajun flavored...but only a oil bit got through.

 

dumpster dive scores are nice. I just got 9 cases of pineapple juice. dont even expire til 4/21/15 .. heard this company was getting rid of their vending service and I went to check out their throw aways. lots of other soda pop but I dont drink that stuff.. 2 cases of Herrs jalapeno poppers.

 

built a fort in the backyard with the boy. got a little more sun on my arms than is healthy, hope its not too bad of a sunburn.
talked about structural stability and how to test it and make sure it will hold.
now hes sitting in it and reading an old boy scout handbook.
i love that kid. hes gonna be great at being a big brother. next time i will dig out some paracord and we will build it differently.

 

sounds like channel locks style

I tend to call them knuckle busters ..reason is obvious once you use them enough

 

thinking about converting some my pineapple juice into some hooch.. I have 18 cases of pineapple juice now. went and got some more.

 

Do something with it before the cans start exploding....

 

I'm starting to get a cold. =[

 

First mow of the season is the worst, so close to land dirt dust can be crazy.

 

Oh, I've only seen channellock brand with the type you have to open wide and slip to the next slot.

Yeah, I see how someone could have lost their patience with them and chucked 'em, but as long as you use them in the right situations and NOT in the wrong ones (like any tool), they can be quite convenient. They're good for repetitive but slightly different things where you would have to repeatedly reset normal pliers, or things that you need to crush down using several different jaw positions, that don't require a huge amount of pushing or pulling. I have a pair of channellocks (or, what I think of as channellocks, as described above) that's about the same size, so I'm not stuck with only these, they just increase my options.

I mean, for free, I would have been happy to find pre-broken chinese crap, so nearly new american made tools sitting right on top of a pile of trash (no digging even required) is a pretty good deal. I know it's not a huge or super valuable find, but I'm still stoked about them, it's like walking along and finding a $20 bill.

That is amazing, bikes are awesome.

They also scare the living shit out of me - I don't expect I'll ever ride one. I scare myself enough just having fun at half that speed in my car.

At least a car has a crumple zone forward of your spine...

 

:drummer:

 

I'm getting my first real bike this year, I'm hoping July. It wont be anything the power of these have. It will be a lot of fun and i'm very excited. It will be a street bike.

I have all my protective gear. Jacket fully padded, pants 60% leather, helmet, boots and gloves. Everything ready for the bike.

I need a 2nd vehicle. Wanted a bike my whole life. So here we go.

 

Roor that track takes most riders 3 years to learn before they can go perfectly.

Race takes place in late May and Early june... pretty sure. There are plenty of places to view right next to road.

It's on my bucket list.

 

I know I should learn, it's just one of those things you should know.

Riding a motorcycle and driving a large truck (unsynchronized, with dual sticks or any other setup out there, and air brakes) are two skills that I'd really like to acquire, but I don't know anyone who does either who would be willing (or trustworthy) to teach me, and I'm nervous about both, considering how bad they can go (respectively, I could lose my life, or a very expensive gearbox).

The truck is a more immediate goal, even though it's harder to find someone stupid enough to let me drive their rig. I like big things that go, and it's not a danger to my personal health or safety.
