Tip of the day.

[dodge man]

This thread is for those silly little things you see someone doing and say, why didn’t I think of that. It could be a tool, technique, a homeowner thing, thread drift is expected.

My tip of the day. Dry erase board. I have one in my garage. It mostly contains oil change info for my vehicles, miles, date, how many quarts of oil it takes. I also started writing when I filled certain fuel containers that may get old. For example “chainsaw gas 10/23/22”.

Add a light timer switch in the shop/barn. hit the 5 min button for feeding the cats and leaving by the back door. Or select any 1 hour time frame or constant on... never leave the lights on when not needed again. hopefully

it would have to be a pretty big dry erase board for me. i use a legal pad on a clip board

Carry a $0.99 tape measure in your pocket, worth it's weight in gold. One usually lasts me about two years but for making sure I bring the right thing back to the field the first time everytime is priceless (is that 1-1/8" or 1-1/4" is hard to eyeball).

I write the hours and date with a sharpie on oil and hydraulic filters when they are changed so I know when they were last serviced. I also write the date and mileage on filters when they are changed on our vehicles.

I keep a Label Maker in the garage and for repetitive things I need to remember, I make a label and stick them on the doors of my wall cabinets.

Stinky garbage...

FWIW...

Not everyone lives where they have garbage pick up and in many rural places garbage has to be taken to recycle centers etc...

Even though a lot of wet garbage gets composted...
It only takes a day or so for items like meat packaging (with the absorbing pads) to really start stinking...What we do is put the packaging back in the freezer until we make a garbage run...

3 years ago I was in charge of the kitchen. Relatives would bring me a casserole or something occasionally, but it was so bad, it went straight into the freezer.

but I had to wright myself a note to remember to through it out on garbage eve.

Same here.
