My mailman is cooler than yours !

 

I like that.

I have corrected several inadequacies in the design of the truck.

 

kinda????????????

 

Evening kids, another loooong Monday. Temps dropping, late fall is ending.

 

I was getting partial to what Toyota calls a side step bar, that comes black with powder coated tubing and black plastic steps, what do you think? the same bars come with chrome and plastic steps.

 

That was awesome !!!!

How about a Werner Truck driver doing donuts !!

OK Hive mind ,

Since most in here are fairly hands on and know which end of the screw driver to use and the correct screw driver to use lol
I have had a craftsman screw stick powered by versa stick rechargeable batteries for a very very long time. It is failing I can still get batteries but the internals are making ominous noises . I like it for taking small items apart and reassembly especially electronics .
I am looking at this as a replacement https://www.lowes.com/pd/DEWALT-Lit...MI-9qdhPCE3wIVj8DICh0W1QlDEAQYBCABEgI_s_D_BwE

Does anyone have one or another model they have used and can recommend.?

PSA: Going to Ace hardware and when the young lady wandering the aisles asks if she can help you find something ..Be careful how you say or phrase what you ask or they turn bright red and stutter for a second.

Ace Lady: Sir can I help you ?
Sir: Yes I am looking for a Bottoming Tap 4-40 NC
Ace Lady: Turning Red excuse me ???
Sir : I need a Bottoming tap sized 4 - 40 NC....It is at this point Sir notices said young lady is bright red and she sort of stutters / stuck for words.
Ace Lady: I am not sure I understand what you are asking for ....
Sir: Can you show me where the small size Tap and Dies are ( They are not in the same place as the others as they are tiny so theft item I guess)
Ace Lady : Ohhhhhhh yes sure follow me ..
Sir: I have to ask you are as red as a stop light what did you think I asked ????
Ace Lady : I just didn't understand you I am really sorry said while still a shade of red ..

I get what I need and roll out and pay , I got to my truck and then it struck me lol As I am sure it probably has struck most of you by the shade of red she turned. I had a pretty good laugh on my way home,,

So be Ladies and Gentleman be aware todays younger folks have some terms for the oldest Adult entertainment in the book that may or may not be in the for front of your mind when you ask for something.

When you take apart and put together computers yeah the ratchet screwdrivers are slightly annoying when you about 4 threads to turn and no ratchet effect till about thread 3 lol

Cypher

 

And I get to hang for a second shift how nice are they to me ... Sigh

Cypher

 

Have two, The problem is there is not enough tension on the threads to let the ratchet work on most small electronics mainly computers. They use fine thread and coarse thread depending on what you are mounting hard drives , motherboard , expansion cards they are coarse thread but only about 4 threads. The fine thread ones are optical drives and sockets etc , they still do not provide enough tension to let the ratchet work.

Think of it this way , one less day towards retirement !!!!

 

I try not to anymore myself but I have to build the one I talked about last year I put it off to long now lol My desk top I had to do some fancy duct taping fixes lol which is when I found out the screw stick is making not dissimilar to the sound of a Dodge truck / mini van transmission or maybe the rumbles of my stomach after @Cold Iron posts food pictures lol

I recommend the 1/4" drive impact and the 90 degree adapter for when you need it. You can turn it up or down (power) and you probably already have a full complement of bits. Yes, it's more than $59, but you won't look back. That 90 degree adapter looks cheap as hell but I've run mine through the gauntlet because it looks cheap as hell but it's stood up spectacularly.

 

Not real sure how electronics would like the impact part . Will have to stop by and check out one though thanks

Cypher

 

You can turn it down alot to where it doesn't impact. Battery life for computer work would be a very long time....weeks.

 

Home Depot here still has the board and screws you can test drive their tools on.

Oh, and drill bits don't like the impact either when you're drilling steel.

 

I 2nd that , I've got a craftsman 1/4" impact and use it all the time while working on my Tacoma or Camaro

 

How to fix electronics...
.
Or a softer option...

 

Got snowblower working, cleared the rest of the driveway. Finest damn invention in the world. When they work. Didn't do my joints especially wrist any favors. But beats the shovel.

Could have had jerky for supper but been having it all day LOL. Pretty sure it was @RickS that mentioned hitting those really thick Costco pork chops with a jaccard to tenderize them. So I did, damn things are at least 2" thick. You are all old enough to likely remember this-



Still get it at Amazon about the only place anymore. So they got a bath in it after pounding them with the jaccard.

Bacon grease in instant pot, saute chops. Browned then deglazed with some broth. Added them back in with handful of baby carrots, 2 cups vegetable broth, gravy packet, can of cream of mushroom soup. 20 minutes with 15 minute natural release. Pulled meat and back on saute and whisked in some cornstarch\water paste to thicken, ended up with a couple quarts of gravy.

Microwaved some high end mashed taters and corn.



May not be steak but after blowing snow it was some damn fine comfort food. Could even eat the pork with a spoon if you wanted to. My sons inhaled it also so did something right.
