  1. Probable crisis averted on the corner piece. Hard refusal from me. Now daughter wants the bedroom stuff & it's a King sized bed. .Ø Where to fit that shit.
  2. Poodle Skirts, Cabbage Patch & Beanies... sure, assumed feminine. The others are somewhat gender neutral.
  3. Ratchet strap talk not going away: After tightening to assumed max tension, if you don't *twang* the strap like a fat guitar string, it hasn't actually been properly checked.
  4. "Getting Old Sucks" ----> 2 doors down
  5. As expected. There IS a flat screen in there, however it certainly isn't large. & Who TF came up with the idea¹ of putting doors over an indoor TV? What's the female minded fascination with hiding a TV? "Oh, we don't want to make the neighbors think we're showing off by actually having a telly when they are poor & only have a hand crank radio." "Let's make people guess & wonder if we actually have a television. Hide it behind those doors." "Honey, I'm tired of having to remind you to close the cabinet doors when you're done watching the TV!" Salesperson @ Cabinets are We: "Well, sure... we got yer base model right here & it certainly does the job of holding a TV... But for only $ 12.50 more per month over that 48 month program, you can get the upgrade... check out these closing doors. (slaps cabinet). Premium Oak right here... look at the grain!" ¹"Ad Wizards", that's who.
  6. Wife's aunt passed away something like 3 months ago. We are going over to "look at" furniture We neither have room for for / no need for / nor will most of it be relevant to a modern life (entertainment center that is probably designed for a CRT & not flat screen, etc) & IIRC, a corner unit¹, a bedroom suite (& we have no need for anything like that). But... "¡¡FREE!! & "it was hers!" ¹we have no "corners" to fit something large like this. FML.
  7. Yeah, I think I recently saw a Milwaukee m-18 Track @ Home Depot. Didn't linger, not easily useful in our roofing work, definitely a "hmmmm" moment.
  8. Speaking of "dust"... I don't really want to "collect" it, I just want to blow it a decent distance away from the space I'm in. ¿Home Depot vac head that doesn't have a filter & will dump the stuff maybe through a window & 5 ft. away via hoses & into the bushes or cedars? (Living rural, no worries about appearances, sawdust pile, etc)
  9. Fake tree stump. What about the fake tree stump?
  10. I cannot select "Prepare Your Anus" via TapaTalk & I refuse to "Like" this (the only Tapa option).
  11. For good / breathable air, maybe some of that flex pipe you were talking about & connect a fan up top that pushes fresh air down & in. Run a bell connected to a string so you can alert someone if you have any serious problems. Def. get a battery powered flashlight + a backup for when # 1 dies. I think in the tool thread you are on Ryobi? I'm sure they have some decent ones. At any point are you going to go wider? Do we have any geologists around here that can discuss how deep (on average) he will need to go & then the soil / dirt / whatever changes to something softer or possibly even more difficult than what is currently being encountered? & what if you go... maybe 20 ft. deep... any possibility for going sideways? My 2nd favorite thing about Hogan's Heroes - # 1 was always the tunnels - # 2 was when they would pop up from a fake tree stump. I would gladly donate to a fake tree stump fund, however the stump has to be maybe 50 feet away (or more) from where this current hole is, furrher awY from the building... otherwise it's just an access point for this existing hole. Made of a decent steel or whatever it is they use @ Disney to make fake rocks that don't turn to shit over time. So, yeah. Fake stump secret exit hatch thingy.
  12. I will suggest there aren't any toll booths on any interstate highway portions of Palm Beach / Broward / Dade County. & There were none in '92. I'm trying to recall if I-4 had any back then & I think it was only the "Bee Line" / now called the tourist friendly name of "Beach Line" (runs from the Western end of Orlando East to the Port Canaveral coast).
  13. For maybe 90 seconds I once hit 120 mph on I-95 going N @ 0200 on a Tuesday night / Wed. morning. Mazda MX-6 turbo. Passed a boat load of cops working a wreck, knew they were all busy.
  14. Ain't gonna quote it... But I'd risk a tiny touch w/ my lips & say "Full!".
  15. https://www.surlyhorns.com/board/index.php?/topic/772-Lame-joke-thread#entry5929211
  16. I, for one, am absolutely *NOT* ready to greet our new robot overlords.
  17. That fucker has absurdly long fingers. He probably rips on the Sitar.
  18. Mixed up the name(s) from the lede.
