    On a Side Note. Any one into Poker ?

    I mostly play small local games, but lately I’ve been messing around online just for fun. I tried out an ETH casino a buddy told me about, kind of cool since it uses crypto instead of regular money. The games move fast, and no need to link a bunch of banking stuff, which is a plus. Just make...

    How to scuff up epoxy primer in order to spray the top coat?

    I remember used a red Scuff Stuff pad wet and gave it a good once-over, followed by a clean rinse and tack cloth. The topcoat laid down smooth with no issues. Reminded me a bit of how I prep metal for applying concrete oxide colours, same idea where you're just giving it enough tooth for the...

    How to scuff up epoxy primer in order to spray the top coat?

    has anyone tried using a grey scuff pad instead of red for a smoother finish before topcoat? I’ve been seeing mixed advice on whether red can be too aggressive, especially on smaller panels or tight spots. Curious what’s worked best for you before laying on color or clear.

    Cabin Sound Deadening

    I had the same issue with road and exhaust noise and ended up using https://resonixsoundsolutions.com/product/resonix-mega-cld-squares-heavy-duty-sound-deadening-material/ on the floor and rear seat area. It made a noticeable difference. I also did some sealing along the firewall and under the...

    Anyone have roofing experience?

    I had a similar leak and found it was a small nail pop that let water under the shingle. Replacing the nail, sealing it, and sliding in a new shingle fixed it.

    Where do you keep important papers?

    Same thing happened to us—our local branch shut down and gave us a short window to empty the safe deposit box. We ended up getting a solid fireproof safe at home instead. It felt weird at first, but honestly, it’s kind of nice having everything close by. We went with something similar to the...

    A Discussion on Funerals

    I had some support from https://cremationsdirect.co.uk/ when arranging his service. They were incredibly helpful and understanding, making the whole process a bit easier during such a difficult time. Sometimes, having that support can make a big difference when you're managing your grief and...

    A Discussion on Funerals

    I had a similar experience when I lost my grandfather. I remember standing up to speak at his memorial and, like you, found myself unexpectedly emotional. It was comforting to see how much he had touched everyone’s lives, even though he had always seemed so invincible to me.

    Spare parts prices

    It's been a while since your post, but I wanted to offer some insight. It's crazy how some parts can cost almost as much as a whole new appliance. Reminds me of when my blender's blade assembly gave out. I was shocked at the price they wanted for a replacement! Ended up stumbling across this...

    Anybody play buck?

    It's kind of cool how different regions have their own versions of classic card games, right? Buck Euchre adds this whole new layer of strategy and excitement to the traditional Euchre game. The rules can take a bit to get used to, but once you do, it's so much fun.If you're ever looking for a...

    Anybody play buck?

    Yeah, I've actually played that game a few times, and let me tell you, it's a blast. I stumbled upon it during a game night with some friends, and it quickly became one of our favorites.

    Anybody know anything about flowers? Question?

    It's great that you were able to identify the species of the plant and found some to plant along your walkway! It's disappointing when they don't thrive as expected, but it sounds like you're planning to give it another shot in 2023. Maybe checking out a California super bloom wildflowers guide...

    Stones or Carbide for valve work?

    It's been a year but, sounds like you're gearing up for some serious valve work and porting. Both stones and carbide cutters have their pros and cons. Stones are great for initial shaping and can be more forgiving, but they wear out faster and might not give you the precision you need for fine...

    Two post lift maintenance

    For the cables, you can use a silicone-based spray lubricant, which will provide a protective coating and reduce friction on the cables. Be sure to avoid using any oil-based lubricants, as they can attract dirt and debris and cause the cables to wear more quickly.
