Got a weird letter the other day stating my 1997 K2500 Chevy truck has a mechanics lien against it. Weird cause I do all my own wrenching. Weirder, cause I sold the truck this summer.
I call the number on the letter and ask, WTF? I sold this truck. Nice lady says dude you sold it to got himself...
My boy kid texted me early last week and asked if I'd be down for trip to Kansas for the opening weekend of pheasant season. He knows a guy who guides pheasant hunts who had some open spots. My kid lives in the KC area, so I asked, how far from you? I need some details to make travel/work plans...
Selling our old wood hauler/farm truck. I've had it about 5 years. Only put about 10K miles on it. Started having a tree service drop off firewood so I haven't had much need to use it.
Runs/drives good. 350 V8. Push button 4x4 works. 4L80E tranny with semi floater 14 bolt rear end. Typical...
So I am walking out to my car yesterday after work an notice a large hole in my passenger side headlight. Upon closer inspection, there a f**kin nickel sitting there inside the headlight. As I take a step back and look around, there's a nickel sized ring in the paint of the hood near the...

My old man bought a box lot at a local auction. It was full of misc tools, odds and ends.
He was going through it and found this gizmo. He had no idea what it was and brought it over to show me.
It's locked up, but it seemed clear the knob should turn and raise/lower the level bubble. Based on...
My daughter, SIL, 2 grandsons, and 2 mutts are moving to Bloomington in the near future.
SIL is in the USMC and has drawn the short straw so he gets to be a recruiter for the next three years. Drew an even shorter straw and got sent to Bloomington. I guess it's better than driving 10 hours to...
My old man is looking to sell his 2007 Buick. It has 176K miles on it. Car has a couple bubbled up spots on each driver's side wheel opening and one small rust spot behind the driver's side rear wheel. Mechanically it's ready to drive anywhere. Tires are 50% or more. Has had new tie rod ends...
I put this here and not in the break room because political discussion is bound to ensue.
The pervious record for the average price of a gallon of regular gas in the US was $4.11 in 2008.
We broke that record today at $4.17. I'm sure we'll shatter it by this time next week.
I see a lot of...

Set of four General Altimax Arctic winter tires, 215/65R17 with wheels. If your stock tire size is 235/55R18, these are the perfect 'minus' sized winter tire. They have 7/32-8/32 tread depth remaining. Dual lug pattern wheels. One is 5x114.3, the other I don't know. I'm digging through old...

Degrowth is just a nice euphemism for KILL. :rolleyes:
Sources said police removed 16 long guns, body armor and more than 1,000 rounds of ammunition from the room with a balcony overlooking the downtown area.
Seems like a higher level threat than the goons out in Massachusetts awhile back. But I'm always skeptical when the alleged plot involves 4...
We've all them. It's easy to get set in your ways and not even consider a product that you have preconceived notions about or for whatever reason just don't think you need. Then you get something and it's like, damn. How'd I live without this?
My most recent was my kid bought a pair of 5.11...

'I came back up screaming': Winnipeg woman recovering after gruesome Muskie attack
Ok, so "gruesome" might be exaggerating just a bit. But there's no doubt a big pike or muskie has to tools to do some real damage.

Mom and baby both doing great.:yesway:
Bought the son in law a new ZT0566 folder for Christmas. He had been carrying this Kershaw that he'd found somewhere with a broken tip. I'm not sure why. It wouldn't have cut warm butter. He was gonna pitch it in the trash but I told him I could fix it up so he'd have a backup. A little grinding...
I don't know if any of our illustrious INGO LEOs have K9 experience, but I have a question.
I was zipping up 31 yesterday and stopped for the red light at the McDonalds near Peru. I whip into the left lane as there was a long like of vehicles in the right and zero in the left. When I pull up...
