Thoughts on going this route vs OEM for towing? I’m due for pads and rotors.

Too funny. I had an Irish Wolfhound that did that all the time.

 

Best stop at the third line or brain damage may occur.

 

Busted saw horse
Fix or replace? I got a soldering iron but don’t want it to bust again so maybe some holes and zip ties or some hillbilly fix? Or just get another one? I don’t remember but I think I got them at Blowes for cheap. I like them because they fold up nice and flat and I can store them with minimal space against the wall

 

Zip ties

 

I've got the same saw horse set, and they have looked just like yours for some time now. They are still kinda working so I haven't replaced them. I won't bother trying to fix them. Eventually I'll build a 2x4 set or buy a better quality set.

 

Or a trailer so you stop blocking people's view.



Nah, screw that.

 

Or get 2 of those flat Stimson strong ties and patch it

 

Recap for today.

Crashed into my kid's car.
Didn't know/forgot that today wasn't, in fact, a day off from school, it was a storm make up day and he was supposed to be in class.
Spent 5 hours after work helping the niece move out of my house and into an apartment.

Can it just be tomorrow already?

 

Thank you!! It's lipstick on a pig but its been paid for for 12 years and we aint going nowhere.

Nicely done!!

Also......

 

Pure sign did clean up nice. As I've gotten older and realized that not everything that shines is golden I do much more appreciate the guy driving the 12 year truck that he still takes good care of and parks way out to stay out of dingland than a brand spanking new truck. Driving a paid off truck and living in a paid off house should be a badge of honor...

My wife worked in the bank through college and she said the guy in the new Escalade would have a negative balance and farmer jon in the beat up truck would have enough to buy the whole town in his account, I always remember that...

Not mine

 

And my gut tells me this is NOT an April fool story

 

Wow! “A place for everything and everything in its place”

 

Went this way myself. From what I understand quality has changed with the rotor but drilled was definitely a no go. Settled for slots. Feels more positive braking.

 

Some days we are challenged, but he knows we will overcome. I like you am ready for the challenge to be some one else. Hope it works out

 

Pretty much like anyone standing in a lineup feels.

Close enough for Tuesday.
Mornin’ Folks

 

Oh, that was well over a year and one truck ago. It looks like a bomb went off in there now

So much going on and so much stuff I've been doing around the house. With the 1/2 bath addition being pretty much done I can clean things up and re-organize.

I probably have an entire truck beds worth of cardboard to get rid of though...

 

Adam how's that bathroom addition looking? Grandma still moving in with you or did I imagine that.

 

Totally envisioned! My garage was not messy when I first moved in

Spoiler

Because it was empty

And I can barely walk thru it now.
