I was going to ask. I’m glad they caught him, and hope she’s okay? I’m sure she’s rattled if nothing else.

Wish I had some sriracha for my eggs.

Changing the front air suspension on the rangey and the neighbours dog ran off with the 13mm bolt that holds the retaining pin in place. FML.

Luckily it's exactly the same size as a brake caliper bolt on the alfa. And I have a few of them kicking about.

Black leather boots...

CFM boots is the term, I think.

Spicy..but delicious. Luckily I have some cayenne.

Some of us are incapable of the "tough love" that is required to train dogs. We are just too indulgent and lack the will to impose the necessary discipline (mainly because we are too lazy, don't want the responsibility and simply intent on having fun).


Many of us are well aware of our deficiencies and that's part of the reason we don't own dogs (preferring to play with OPD*).

They've already started the weekend Halloween parties here and a few peeps are out in costumes. A bit too early for me, but...it's for the fun!

She's rattled and her back was screwed up a bit. Hopefully, just bruised and she will heal. Grand daughter is fine, we think.

Oh, I hope so! Car accident injuries and backs are tricky.

They're recuperating at the cabin. It's peaceful there except for the occasional sharp "bang" when a grouse is spotted.

I get to experience daylight savings clock change twice this Autumn.

a trip in time, cleaning out the basement bookshelves... everything from a mother's day card from H's mum&dad to her mother. to old year books and ancient dictionaries, to stephen king's i've read before but so long ago it's worth reading them again! and since it's the basement, mainly used as the log room with the furnace there, and these things have been sat there for decades undisturbed... well, it's not hard to imagine the dust we've had to clear off everything. found some other books to read, too, including 'the shoemaker--the anatomy of a psychotic' by the author of 'sybil'. just good old-fashioned reading material

books in boxes, all the encyclopedias and dictionaries/language literature on 3 cleaned shelves, and the floor-to-ceiling built-in shelving laden with everything from pretty-as-a-picture pickled peppers to pear honey, the deepest purple elderberry jelly through figs and strawberry preserves and more. it looks like a little shop!

SKIL SAW: A portable cutting tool used to make timber too short.

PLIERS: Used to round off bolt heads. Sometimes used in the creation of blood-blisters.

BELT SANDER: An electric sanding tool commonly used to convert minor touch-up jobs into major refinishing jobs.

PILLAR DRILL: A tall upright machine useful for suddenly snatching flat metal bar stock out of your hands so that it smacks you in the chest and flings your beer across the room, denting the freshly-painted project which you had carefully set in the corner where nothing could get to it.

WIRE WHEEL: Cleans paint off bolts and then throws them somewhere under the workbench with the speed of light . Also removes fingerprints and hard-earned calluses from fingers in about the time it takes you to say, 'Oh ****!'

HACKSAW: One of a family of cutting tools built on the Ouija board principle... It transforms human energy into a crooked, unpredictable motion, and the more you attempt to influence its course, the more dismal your future becomes.

VISE-GRIPS: Generally used after pliers to completely round off bolt heads. If nothing else is available, they can also be used to transfer intense welding heat to the palm of your hand.

OXYACETYLENE TORCH: Used almost entirely for lighting various flammable objects in your shop on fire. Also handy for igniting the grease inside the wheel hub out of which you want to remove a bearing race.

TABLE SAW: A large stationary power tool commonly used to launch wood projectiles for testing wall integrity.

HYDRAULIC FLOOR JACK: Used for lowering an automobile to the ground after you have installed your new brake shoes , trapping the jack handle firmly under the bumper.

BAND SAW: A large stationary power saw primarily used by most shops to cut good aluminum sheet into smaller pieces that more easily fit into the trash can after you cut on the inside of the line instead of the outside edge.

TWO-TON ENGINE HOIST: A tool for testing the maximum tensile strength of everything you forgot to disconnect.

PHILLIPS SCREWDRIVER: Normally used to stab the vacuum seals under lids or for opening old-style paper-and-tin oil cans and splashing oil on your shirt; but can also be used, as the name implies, to strip out Phillips screw heads.

STRAIGHT SCREWDRIVER: A tool for opening paint cans. Sometimes used to convert common slotted screws into non-removable screws and butchering your palms.

PRY BAR: A tool used to crumple the metal surrounding that clip or bracket you needed to remove in order to replace a 50p part.

HOSE CUTTER: A tool used to make hoses too short.

HAMMER: Originally employed as a weapon of war, the hammer nowadays is used as a kind of divining rod to locate the most expensive parts adjacent the object we are trying to hit. It is especially valuable at being able to find the EXACT location of the thumb or index finger of the other hand.

UTILITY KNIFE: Used to open and slice through the contents of cardboard cartons delivered to your front door; works particularly well on contents such as seats, vinyl records, liquids in plastic bottles, collector magazines, refund cheques, and rubber or plastic parts. Especially useful for slicing work clothes, but only while in use.

SON-OF-A-BITCH TOOL: (A personal favourite!) Any handy tool that you grab and throw across the garage while yelling 'Son of a BITCH!' at the top of your lungs. It is also, most often, the next tool that you will need.

I cut it twice and it's still too short!

A very well played game. Bravo to the team. It was certainly a nail biter and impressive to watch both teams.
