Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

...sell the man some tools, he'll be broke forever!

 

Plenty of my tools were aquired by needing 'that one tool, for that one job',

 

How else does one acquire tools?

 

I’ve seen some people score some great tools and tool sets at rummage sales and estate sales, for next to nothing. Wish I could score like that. The problem is I never go to neither rummage or estate sales.

Kinda like the lottery. Love the idea of winning, but never get around to buying any tickets.

 

Yeah it seems they pretty much give stuff away at those

I bought some stuff and then have slowly added over time as i needed something. Now i need a bigger toolbox.

 

Wish the school would give me like a $100 garage sale budget so i could go buy tools cheap. Amazing how many get lost or broken in a year with adolescents.

 

Anybody watch Dirt Evey Day? What a freaking great show. Watching the 4th gen 4runner on 40s episode. @pearing , if you haven’t watched this show, figure out a way to get it. So many good build ideas. It’s also fun watching them work on the build. I’m watching it on HBO Max.

Another good watch is Dangerous Roads. They take a couple of british celebrities and let them loose on various roads. The madagascar episode was great. It has zero “overlandy” vibe, but pretty legit “travel wheeling” over lots of conditions.

 

No. I haven't seen that.

I was busy working on my stick welding degree from YouTube U.

Watched a video of a high clearance rear bumper being made for a couple hundred bucks in material.

 

Dirt Every Day is awesome. Definitely a favorite. Also like Roadkill Garage. Most of the overlanding shows are to military campaign like for my taste

Didn't know about Dirt Every Day, but just found it's free on the Roku Channel. Not sure if free epidodes will run out and I'll hit a pay wall, but I'm on S1:E6 so far. I'm liking this!

 

Used to be on u-tube, don't know if it still is.

 

My underground free range egg connection has resurfaced.

Won't be any overpriced eggs in this household.

 

For anyone thinking of kayak fishing in the ocean, I'll just leave this here:

 

Yup...nope!

 

Some 40-odd episodes are on YouTube.

I saw Jaws in the theater when it first came out. I was sitting next to my brother when this scene happened. The bucket of popcorn he was holding went about 2 feet into the air.

 

I like C4....

The guys from dirt everyday are real solid dudes in real life too.

 

Idk, man.
After watching that dude make his own bumper, I'm kinda thinking of doing the same.
