I like to clean as i go. It seems that some people would/do let it all go till the end, like heathens. I have "corperate" type friends who are "plow thru it and get the task done, worry about the flotsome later". Certainly theres a grey area, but to me its plain and simple - dont let a mess...

So with this time machine you get to go back in time to show someone a particular piece of technology. Computer, music, automotive, aviation, medical, weapons... I think about this all the time. If i took my cell phone back x years, someone might just think its a shiny, useless rock. Take a...

(I hope this will not get kicked to political forum...please refrain) We've been here for a few days now and it's a completely different experience the Marseille of a few days ago. Yesterday we spent the entire day seeing about 20% of the Louvre. Holy shit! What a place! Room after room of...

Day 1 to Paris, day 2 to Marseille to visit friends for a few days. So far its been so much fun! Last night we went out for dinner and it was fantasic - so much rich food! We had some kind of duck, a huge leg of lamb that melted in your mouth, and of course some melty cheese with bread and...

I just found that Injun (Phil) died last night. So sad to hear. Phil was kind, generous, and we laughed thru the hard times together. I will miss him...

I bought a crf230 for $600. Yea, its a bit rough but i bought it for a project that i will explain. But first, has anyone done a 520 to 428 chain conversion? It need new chain/ sprockets, and my thought was to go that way. The 520 is the same chain they use on big 'ol adult sized and powered...

I never got away with saying that as a kid, but a lot of my friends found that by saying those words that they could get out of just about anything. My mom was an RN, i had to be bleeding or near death to get out of things like school or yard work etc. "Just go, you'll feel better once you get...

I made a work bench for my clients new 60x60 "garage"...yea, its the stuff of dreams.:wow. The work bench is 14' reclaimed deck beams and posts, and prob weighs 400 lbs. I covered it with 3/4 ply thats good on 1 side, and want to seal it with something clear. Whats good/durable? I actually...

Im helping a friend with some work that he needs done. Part of it is to refresh the 1990 kitchen. The idea was to reface the cabinets and doors, and new modern countertops/appliance/sink etc. Its a nice house, not rental quality. But as i look around i get the idea that a cabinet refresh isnt...

...do these things??? I've always worked construction or in a moto shop or...some place where exposed toes just doesn't work. So i just never had sandals of any kind. I even thought it was spelled sandles. But my wife bought me some of those non thong type that velcro in a few places and...

We get these smokey conditions a lot where i live. On a few occasions ive ignored the smoke and gone about my business (outdoor work and exercise), only to regret it later. Ive had a nasty respiratory infection that lingered for days. Today i saw a lot of people out jogging, and they may regret...

...had a heart attack. No one really suprised by this, but he was a funny MFer. I loved his bit about the gay wedding. https://youtu.be/mBpbYKd_QfI Probably nsfw....

Im working here in the city, and staying at a friends house. Last night a 30+ lb raccoon came through the cat door in the basement, up the stairs to the mainfloor, and got into the cat food. The balls on this thing!! I heard it eating, thought it was the cat. 4:06 am. He then came into the...
