A few hours ago my wife asked me to take the dogs out. No problem, right? Normally, no. However, part of the driveway still has a thick coating of ice on it, and it’s on a hill….. And last night we got a dusting of light snow, making that ice particularly slippery…. Tried walking on it…..fell...

Stumbled across this on FB today, read the comments, and I was amazed at the different answers, and the reasons for same. So I thought I'd throw it out here and see what happens!

I can't be the only person who has a song, irritating or otherwise, playing in his/her head all day. Today's offender:

Site seems to load slow lately. I saw a post the other day in a thread saying the same thing, then someone else said it was fixed. And then someone else yet again said, “No, it isn’t (fixed).” The other sites I frequent on the interwebs load just fine, and I’m pretty sure it’s not on my end as...

Not an A-Body question, sorry, but rather... I had to park my truck under a pine tree all summer while I was working on the shop, and when I went to bring it indoors for the winter yesterday I found pine sap "snots" all over the place. Not small spots, like it got "misted", but rather what...

Can I get an Amen!

Need to add these to it (from a pre-season game):. :rofl:

If you've never heard of them you're not alone, but they're the parent company for some pretty common names.... Some links: https://www.motortrend.com/news/first-brands-group-auto-parts-supplier-bankruptcy-spells-trouble-for-everyone-who-owns-car-truck-suv...

I’m a commercial HVAC guy (a Service Fitter to be exact), and while I’m not a plumber, I’m not a greenhorn when it comes to plumbing….. Anyway, our new place (we bought it 3 years ago) had a really old water heater, and I replaced it with a sealed combustion unit before we even moved in. Have a...

I just started hanging metal ceiling panels this past weekend (first 2 rows of 8 are completed), but I can't help but think ahead and wonder about overhead storage along the walls. In some of my past garages I've used old kitchen "upper" cabinets, but since this will probably be the last space...

My Boss recently bought a ‘67 Barracuda, and he drove it in to the office for first time today. Link to my post with some pics below. Here’s the question: The carb on there right now is an Edlebrock, and it has a fuel leak somewhere. He says he doesn’t want to fix it, as “….the original carb...

I worked for NAPA for over 20 years, but I've never seen these before: Pair of these on my boss' new '67 Barracuda, thought this was pretty cool.

Mine (gas powered) has been acting up lately, and I think one of more of the valves are either blocked open (debris, etc), or damaged due to overheating, as I didn't know you're not supposed to let it run for over 30 seconds without pulling the trigger (Ooops!). I'll know more this evening...

I like “sleepers”. Always have, always will. But what gives a lot of them away is the excessive negative offset when the rear wheels are widened….. So as a guy who’s hoping to retire soon, has been “building” a sleeper in his head for quite some time, and is seriously considering building one...

We’ve all seen the “Not For Sale” script painted on car windows at a show, and I’d like to find someone who can print a reverse image sticker with that same script that I can put inside the windows of my truck. (Heck! Trucks, plural.) Anyone? Jim

I’m staring on the wiring out in the “shep” (shed/shop), and while I have some ideas on what I want to do out there, to anyone who has done this before, can you offer up any advice on things you wish you would have done? As in, “I wish I would have pre-wired for ……”. Thanks. Jim

Part of my job is quoting commercial HVAC repairs and/or replacement equipment, and over two years ago I quoted a new blower wheel and bearings for a 50 ton rooftop unit, as the fan was out of balance and taking the bearings out along with it. And then I quoted it again.... And again...

My boss just bought a ‘67 Formula S Barracuda (link below), and the seller claimed it was “numbers matching”. But I’m finding conflicting information on when Plymouth starting stamping VIN’s into the blocks. Does anyone know for certain if his 273 should have a VIN number stamped into it...

Does this look familiar to anyone? Just curious…. Anyway, I guess he saw it during a road trip last week, and he finalized the deal just last night. He’s going to rent a trailer and haul it home this weekend. And that’s about all I know about it at this point.

I replaced the service door in the shed a few days ago, and while cleaning-up I started applying some of my RA magnets to the inside of it. No particular order… And then I seem to recall reading that someone here had a car that was confused for a Nova, which got me thinking….. Does anyone...

Arianna, We never had the chance to meet, but my wife and I are very good friends with your uncle Steve in St. Paul, and we just got the word….. I am so sorry about the cancer, and I know deep in my heart that Steve would have traded places with you in a heartbeat, he loved you so much. I am...

If all goes well the walls in my metal building will be insulated (outer layer only) by the end of the week, and I’m trying to decide what to do with the ceiling. Don’t want sheet rock, and I’m thinking metal panels, but never worked with them on the ceiling before. Anyone have experience here...

We bought this place almost exactly 3 years ago in preparation for retirement. Original owner had it built to their Spec, but I don’t think a single damn Contractor knew how to read a Spec, let alone build to it or bother to get an Inspection. Case in point: I’m building out a 24’ x 42’ metal...

@missing linc and @Ahoey (and some others in Winnipeg that have slipped my mind right now): Hope you guys are safe.

Forgot I pulled this out of my uncles garage when he passed, so if it doesn’t go bad (it’s pretty old), and if anyone can use it, it’s yours! I would guess it’s about half full. Pickup only (I’m not commuting into the Cities right now), Zimmerman, MN. Drop me a PM if interested. Jim

I need to replace the front and rear rubber window seals in my ‘67 Ford pickup, and I’m looking to buy a couple of those suction cup things with the handles on them. Can anyone recommend a reputable brand, or model? What I’m finding online is “all over the place” in terms of price and (I assume)...

Some time ago WD-40 changed their cans, and they went with this adjustable nozzle thingamajig. Why, I don't know. When they first came out I bought a can, but I only got about half way through it before the pressurized gas "fizzed out" on me. In other words, I had a can about half-full of...

My brother's coworker: As far as I know the driver survived (otherwise I wouldn't have posted these), and according to the in-dash camera it appears that he tried to avoid a head-on coming from the other direction.
