Greetings gang, I’m just catching up on the thread, I’ve been out of commission for over a week with walking pneumonia. Good times!

So bartender how about a lemon tea

It did help me avoid having to do some annoying clean up in the garage, but also made me miss playing golf so….

There are some awesome car buffs here on this thread. Great photos

Up early again so Good Morning early risers. Rain and storms are coming today then cooler.

My son and I watched Dune 2 in a near empty theater yesterday afternoon. Wow on the movie - very well done. Sad that the movie theater is so empty- wonder how it will stay in business.

Our local theatre’s are dropping like flies after the lockdowns. They’ve gone to a more “home theatre” type atmosphere. You buy your tix and pick your seat! That’s kind of cool…the seats are bigger and more comfy, recline with footrests ect…

I have to admit it’s sort of nice as it weeds out the on the phone types, but you don’t get that packed theatre everyone screaming at the bad guys and cheering on the hero’s of our youth. That was sort of fun but those days appear to be gone.

Last night, I had a drink with a bunch of old coworkers. We used to work this union job together. We met at a really divey joint called the royal near us.

Bikers, greasers, freaks, old men (I’m one of em too). Caught up with everyone, had some laughs and some dinner and drinks. Added bonus, it was Tuesday night trivia night. Our team, the Dipshitz, came in last!

There are some pretty serious and competitive trivia players there!

Back to work today… the day job…

I went to visit my son and his wife over Xmas several years ago, and they wanted me as The Ringer in their Wednesday night bar trivia night. Seems I have a reputation for knowing all sorts of stuff. Anyway, the "judges" declined to accept my answer for the 40-point question, which was correct but I said it in English and not French. Anyway, the 3 of us lost to a table of 6 by 15 or 20 points.


Meh.

There was a bit of dumpster diving at the liquor store. It's a state run operation. Clean dumpster - recycling, you see. I picked mostly the whiskey boxes. I have brought some in and taped them back together. The cats think I have made Box Heaven just for them. One has already filled with books. Good thing that booze boxes aren't big.

[Missk_2022]

Well this is no good. Bad storm came through and it ripped my screen door open and twisted it and warped it and messed it all up. Oh well I hated the damn thing anyway it wasn't installed correctly by someone my dad wanted me to use. So problem solved I tried to put it back together thinking it was just popped out nope it's twisted and it won't even shut anymore. Oh well the joys of homeownership

If only l could work wood. Yes screw it and get in a new one I say.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Wood work requires the right tools and some patience. I've gotten very good at it over the years.

I've a bed that squeaks...any tips?

 

[Missk_2022]

I suck at it......

And I have a house that is always giving me surprises. I need to replace back deck and front deck too. The person originally put them on used nails so they're all popping out but it's so old that you can't nail them in or pull them out it needs to be stained or painted or something. They use this weird paint it heals but that other people said it's stain? I have no idea what it is. I would stand it off but the nail issue. There's always something. And I live alone and I am a girl and and and

Both of you - screws. They make good deck screws these days and I use them for all kinds of things. If you can find where the bed squeaks, it may have a loose joint/connection and a drop of glue and a screw or 2 would solve that. If the nails are loosening up on the deck, pull them out and replace them with screws.


Screwdriver? No. Spend the hundred and a half and get an impact driver. Sometimes they come in kits with a drill, too. That's more like two and a quarter. Spend the 35 dollars on a decent set of drill bits and of driver bits. They usually come with mags - make sure they come with at least 1 battery and a charger. Watch for specials. Red ones or yellow ones seem best.


If you're going to own a house, it's wise to have a few tools.
