  1. Nothing like seeing a beer gut on a 20 something college athlete
  2. he's safe. Also pitcher is overthrowing, he's going to have some control issues shortly
  3. lol pitcher doesn't even cover home
  4. My dad would have yelled at me the whole way home if I did something like that on a 3-0 count
  5. The bolt on the bottom of my trailer hitch. If I need to flip the hitch (which I have had to do) or replace with a different size ball I have to use this wrench
  6. Yeah. I saw those reviews too and that was the second biggest reason after price to not order from there. May look into going to one of those maker places with cnc machines to make the sides right but this works for now.
  7. I always had a box of stuff in the back of the truck which would contain things like an air compressor, tools, tow strap, etc. When I totaled my 4runner and bought my FJ a few months ago I moved the box from the 4runner to the FJ. The thing that stunk about the box in the back of the FJ is it would slide around. It would also invariably end up looking like this after a few weeks of me being lazy So I started looking around at things like orangebox https://www.orangeboxxfabrication.com/online-store/FJ-Cruiser-c37537319 Really cool design but at ~$300 to do both sides seemed pretty steep and I'm a pretty big cheap ass. Tried to find some of the "Molle" material to build my own but couldn't find anything anywhere. I started thinking about what else I could use and remembered I had some shelves I no longer used that look like this sitting in the attic unused: Available at container store I had the 20"x2' ones that were perfect The orangeboxx and other solutions use the existing hook locations to tie in so I looked up the bolts are 6M so I headed off to lowes to find some long bolts. The longest they had were around 3 inches so I went to amazon. They didn't have anything longer than that so I bought a 1 meter threaded bolt along with some finger bolts. I took out the bolts from the 3 places along the drivers side back, cut the threaded bolt to the right size, put the threaded bolt into the bolt locations, followed by the plastic hook, a regular bolt, a finger bolt, the shelf and then a second finger bolt and it ended up like this Tool roll that I had before mounted nicely using the straps it already had For the other items mounted I bought a couple of Molle bags that have straps that snap on, then bought a big roll of velcro tape for the others Now everything is out of the way, the golf clubs and groceries can go in the back with out a problem, and all the wasted space is being used for something. Air compressor went on the other side. Behind the shelf I have a come along, tow straps, socket set, tire repair kit, AC converter along with some bungee cords. Hanging I have tool roll, first aid kit, flashlight, hammer, tape, big wrench. tow rope, molle bags with small parts/nuts/bolts/light bulbs etc. Links: Shelves - $20 https://www.containerstore.com/s/platinum-elfa-ventilated-wire-shelves/d?q=Wire+Shelves&productId=10006045 Threaded rod - $7.80 https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B081MH24VB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Bolts $5.89 https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QPF8Z2F/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Finger bolts - $10.99 https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07L6BGHL1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Molle Pouch 2 pack - $11.99 https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GKPTDXD/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Velcro tape - $18.99 https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CZ38HPT/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Tool Roll $19.40 https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GK4U208/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Total cost all in - $95 Total cost for just the brackets $44.68. I have enough parts to do the other side, just need another shelf, so $20 more and I'll have both sides. Compare the $65 I spent to the $283 at orangeboxx and I think this is a winner.
  8. The thing about the car is you just don't realize how fast you're going. Immamac had the speed limit alarm on for good reason. I was doing 60 in a 35 on a hilly/curvey road and it felt like I wasn't speeding. Which is completely unlike my FJ. If you're going close to the speed limit on a road like that you start to feel uncomfortable and slow down.
  9. His point is to troll like he does on every thread
  10. deleted some posts about wages/trickle down economics/other CR shit. feel free to start a thread in CR if you'd like to discuss those topics.
  11. You don’t even know a thing about delayed neutron precursors do you?
  12. In Arlington in the mid to late 80's they had these special rounded off square bolts that you needed a special tool for. If you looked at it from the top it was square. Look from the side and it was a rounded trapezoidal shape
  13. Looked in NYC the other day. Several places for $99 a night with a $700 cleaning fee.
  14. Finally off the schnide with a resounding win tonight. We were playing one round of PLO and one round of big o. While playing plo we had a bomb pot which means 2 boards, best hand on each board gets half the pot. Before I even look at my hand the flop is out TT9 J87 guy across from me screams “ten nine for the win”. I look at my cards, first two are T9. I bet out $25, get 3 callers, after turn bet pot which was $145, get two callers, after river I bet pot again which puts me all in for $450 more. One guy folds and the other guy calls. I’m thinking I’m fucked as he could have T9 and there was a bigger strait and flush available on the bottom board. He ends up with a flush on the top board and a smaller strait on the bottom. Scooooop a $900 pot. I’m stacking chips for the next 2 hands. started with $300 took this a little before I left and donked off a few hundred.
  15. fucking Mare. Her life really is a shit show right now
  16. just me or is it down for anyone else? not working on my roku or PC
  17. It is the fastest and best handling car I’ve ever driven. Gunned it from a stop sign turning right onto bee cave road and was doing 80 in about 3 seconds. 4wd around corners is unreal.
  18. ouch. reminds me of my Friday night. Playing with one of the biggest whales in Austin. Guy doesn't blink when he drops 5-10k in a night. About mid way through the night get AA23K and get him all in and scoop. Sat there for 4 more hours and never got in another hand with him and bleed off a ton while watching the dumbass sitting across from me turn $200 into $2000 by hitting nut nut after nut nut.
  19. Not murder hornet. Brew is correct it's a Malibu.
