    Heather's Heavenly Vapes - THE BIG THREAD (Part 6)

    Oh yeah. If I had a lift I wouldn't think twice about doing it myself. Makes all the difference in the world. He's probably gonna charge me a few hundred and in as much as it kills me to pay that it's still better than gimping around for the next week. I basically rebuilt my entire truck a few...

    Yeah, that's a ripoff. Not a labor intensive job either but no, you're too messed up and can't do that kind of work without paying a big health price. You have no choice. Bend over and pay the man.

    I went to an Ozzy concert way back. Metallica was backing him up (their Master of Puppets show). Ozzy lets his backup bands play their whole show. After Metallica was done I thought it's gonna take a lot for Oz to top that. Sheeeeeeit! By the time Oz was done it was, Metallica who? I saw Oz...

    Speaking of doing things differently...I hired a mechanic to swap my rack n pinion on my truck. It's leaking out of the pinion seal and it's not going to get better. Actually there are two reasons why I hired out instead of doing it myself. One, I'll spend a couple hours rolling around on the...

    Plant the seed in the Fall. One, it sets up nicely in the Spring, two grass seed goes bad in the bag and it don't take long.

    You gotta be happy with what you get and only you know what makes you happy. My inclination has always been to NOT get battery powered equipment but truthfully that has faded considerably the last several years. There are advantages to battery operated stuff to be sure. I don't know much about...

    How to Fix Stuff

    Yes Termidor is highly effective. My initial treatment that was done when the house was built (7 years prior to me buying the house) lasted 17ish years before I started seeing ants invade my home. Tolerated that for a few years then did the trenching and the ants and every other creature...

    How to Fix Stuff

    hmmmmm. I think strategic spraying in and around the house would be effective. The termidicides on the market today are extremely effective. Usually a 6" x 6" ditch along the foundation and you're termite-proof for 10-15 years. Pour the solution in the ditch, cover, done. It's the kind of...

    Yep, gets to a point where it's time to ditch the thing. Kinda surprised your grass is growing. Mine quit growing a month and a half ago. The only thing growing are weeds. Got the cruise control fixed. Just needed the right part. That is getting harder for a 32 year old truck. So I still...

    Hey kids. Been awhile. I got busy in a hurry. Includes my truck catching fire. Came out of the store and a firetruck was next to my truck. He said someone called it in. I saw no fire. Lifted the hood and sure enough there was a fire. Roasted a bunch of wires, tubes, and stuff. So I’ve been...

    My grass already stopped growing. About once a month I go out and cut the random weed that sticks up from the ground. It's definitely summer. 90s and humid every day. 4 more months of it. I stay in the AC. Too old to be working outside anymore. Neighbor had prostate surgery yesterday. He has...

    Hey kids! Summer is here. Haven't been up to much. Just staying out of people's way. The wife is approaching one year since she retired. We haven't killed each other yet. Bought a new vacuum cleaner the other day. A Shark Vertex. Holy cow that thing does a good job. The Electrolux died. That...

    Hey Arm! Took up walking again. Last time which was some 7-1/2 years ago I got down to 180 lbs. Didn't want to go any lower. 180 is low enough. I'm a fairly stocky dude. But then, as usually happens, I went right back up. Reached 240 so I'm like enough of that nonsense. Gotta lose weight and...
