    Kitchen cabinets if I live long enough to get this back together

    Bear in mind that "deals" are only "when" they are, and you can't get to choosy about "what." Yesterday a bunch of kitchen stuff was lying there at Habitat for humanity. Also bear in mind there is some scratch damage, they ain't perfect, and in the end, they are STILL GLUED...

    Dumb stunt tonight, the cost of a great thrift store deal went up

    Went out to Habitat for Humanity today, and picked up some stuff, the most of which was a bunch of Makita. 18V charger, 3 drills, one of which is dead, and two 1/4 hex impacts. So I decided to test them, clamped a 1/4 hex to 1/2 square driver adapter in the vise. Chucked up a drill and...

    A little more minor progress on the house fire situation

    Plumbing, not done,....... Got all the old galvanized pipe out, except I am leaving about 2ft coming in and out of the water tank. Easier to let that dog lie, and there were handy fittings right there. I still have to finish up hangers, and add two tees right inline with each other, in...

    Bought me a broke down power chair

    I don't need a "full wheelchair," more like a scooter. But most of those are junk on 3 tiny wheels, not suitable for rough "lawns." This is a huge heavy Permobil with a seating problem (I don't know yet what all it has, AKA lift, recline, tilt, etc, but an error prevents the chair...

    Gave away the little 12ft '53 Crestliner boat and trailer today

    Got enough crap cleaned out of the carport, I dragged the 67 home from the neighbors and shoved it back under there "to sit awhile," and drove the 74 Val back under there as well. Surprisingly, that thing did not need jumped, since LAST AUGUST, and cranked about THREE SECONDS before...

    An unexpected step forward in the house fire situation

    I had pulled a homeowner's electrical permit. I had not planned on rewiring the basement, as it was not fire damaged. I had an electrician I met via my neighbor "help" me with the rough in. I had called electrical for a "consultation" to see where I stood. So he comes over, turned out...

    Bought another Fluke meter off ebay

    I have something like 5 Fluke meters, all sooty, smelly and variously damaged after the house fire. My FIRST Fluke I ever had I bought new back in the '90's when I went to work for the Motorola outfit. I don't remember, I think I paid over 300 bucks, a Fluke 73-III. The thing got wet...

    PM me if you have contact info for Redfish

    I am STILL totally pissed at the great big red print from down under. He ran Redfish off of here with an INCORRECT accusation, and I'm tired of stewing about it. I once had Red's contact info, email or phone, I have forgotten. If anyone can put me in touch DO NOT POST HERE...

    A scathing review of a POS and dangerous Klein tester

    My best Fluke may not make it. It powers up with a new battery, but it was somewhat warm, and the battery leaked. The others I have in the basement are "smokey." So I thought I'd buy an inexpensive tester to get by until I get something better, or see about getting the Flukes cleaned...

    A tiny bright spot in the house fire escapade

    The other day I found my new camera, slightly smelly, in a DRY bag. Canon 5D Mk IV. AND the old Dakota often refuses to shift. Sometimes it defaults to limp mode (3rd gear) or locks up in 1st and refuses to shift out. Like yesterday, going to and from the dump, lol ANYWAY...

    I have joined "that club."

    The AR club, that is. I have been thinking of building 1 or 2 from so called "80% lowers" But I figured since I have no experience with an AR, I should AT LEAST have one made by someone as a starting point so I know what is "right" shall we say. For some reason I got a ?? up my...

    A minor screw up on my part, LOL

    I have an old recliner which is basically "where I live" when sat down in the house. I guess about year and a half ago I damaged the foot gear such that it's a struggle to get the thing folded back in. I got tired of messin with that so today I dumped it upside down and looked it all...
