    Greetings Wrenchmen from the underground. I figured if I'm going to be spending hours down in the cellar I might as well add some light.

    Lol Torr. I studied him way back in the day. I use Bar more than psi and have for the past 30 years. So much as I think in Bar and have to convert to psi in my head now.

    If I ever owned a Bar, I would call it 14.5
    Whomever got the joke would win a free drink.

    I was at the filling station today, fellow on the other side was having a bad day.

    KIMG3482.jpg

    He had a single axle enclosed trailer, said it let go about a 1/4 mile before he got there.

    Trailer wasn't damaged fortunately.

    The table looks awesome! I vote for matching full length benches instead of chairs.

    I’ve had great success with linseed oil as the hole filler. Same method. I know others who swear by used motor oil. My dad passed down the linseed method. If invasives are small enough, I will dig out and pull up (chain and grabber clamp) or chainsaw/axe out the root center.

    I have that exact issue, but it’s reversed… 1 pound up.
    I sooo want to just go let a little air out.

    Indeed.
    New rotors on the wife’s Explorer last year. She put 5,000 miles on them. They failed inspection due to pitting on the rotors exceeding state tolerances. The explanation, not enough driving to grind off the salt…. I’ve never heard of such a thing…

    Good morning everyone :hattip:. Happy Friday :thumbsup:
