    Will certainly help, but the last I read they were saying it would take years of record rainfall to make up for the drought seasons we've had recently.

    And let's not forget that CA is great at letting rain water just roll into the ocean without collecting it. We rely primarily on the Sierra snowpack for water

    Thanks for sharing. I hope that this helps and maybe there will be a turnaround in the future.

    The front range has been so dry

    My buddy asked if we still had snow on the ground and was shocked when I told him we'd had 0 accumulation yet.

    I bought one of these things a while back. I love it. My only wish was it that wasn't so long or at an angle. Maybe I just need to change the zerk to a 45 or 90 degree.

    How did I live without this? I need to get two more so all grease guns have one. I hope it lasts. It sure makes life easy.

    God damn I can't help but feel like I am squandering my time off. I was hoping to be hiking and working on the trucks but I reinjured my back before Christmas and then woke up sick yesterday.

    I am puppy sitting also LOL


    Maybe I should slow down and stop pretending like I'm 18 and can crush projects non stop

    2-4" in the forecast for this weekend. Fingers crossed.

    I miss being able to go into Lowes to buy individual sockets of different shapes in 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 14mm, 17mm, 19mm, 21mm. Now they want everybody to buy a craftsman set of dozens.

    I have been known to throw a 9mm or 11mm across the garage when they get in my way.

    Shit, they don't do that anymore?

    Mine moved them from hanging to a drawer in the corner but you could still buy individuals wrapped in a plastic bag lol

    I miss that too, and I'm talking buying a single quality socket or two when you needed that odd size.

    I will say, I'm impressed with the Milwaukee set I bought. Pricey but they're stupid solid and the socket wrench has what...90 teeth? Love the engagement.

    2-4" sounds great

    I collected some snow at Vail and shoveled it out of the bed and onto my trees yesterday. Pretty sure the neighbors think I'm a clown LOL

    Holy cow it sounds like Milwaukee is going hard with their new tools. Didn't know they made ratchets and socket sets now. I did see they make a Sharpie alternative though lol

    I did see the sharpie and figured Miguel already had a few :laughing:

    Here's the tool set when I got it; got it because it's a Packout set -

    When Sears was still around and had quality Craftsman I'd buy individual sockets. That was when they would replace tools with new and not refurbished.

    They finally shut down the Sears near my work for good, it's been having "Closing sales" for years and years now. The store shut down awhile back but they kept the Sears auto repair garage going for a couple more years, then just shut it down recently.
