Now I'm paranoid

Car jack stand (3 ton) not so good adding spacers to back of 2501???

I think these 22 ton stands would hold just about anything. $178 sounds expensive except compared to a Dr. visit!

Roll your own vape juice. D'oh!

Shake Hands with Danger

Ever since I first saw this, I hear that riff in my head whenever I do something dangerous. It usually makes me slow down and re-think what I'm doing. Can't beat old safety films for telling it like it is.

I used to provide safety training through my shop. We would provide safety videos and then do hands on training for insurance certification. You guessed it, sleep through the video and don't participate in the hands on. Made good money on my part, I can only hope some of those folks paid attention and the companies didn't just do that for the insurance break .

Pall Mall, did it even have flavor?

When I was in Afghanistan I spent time on a French FOB and had access to unfiltered Lucky Strikes, I bought them in bulk when I left to another FOB. If they'd of been available in the States it would have made quitting a lot harder.

I really liked them.

same here

Can't help but think about the Nebraska farmer went under the corn picker while running for some unknown reason...shaft ate his jacket and arm.. No one around or expected, blood everywhere. He used his belt as a tourniquet and his pocket knife to amputate the arm. Then drove himself to the hospital. I really don't know that it's true, but just the memory of having been told this has kept me from attempting anything on running equipment.

Camel rags in my youth. Cigarillos in midlife. I quit smoking about 25 yrs ago

Copenhagen in my youth. Quit 30 years ago when an older friend passed from mouth cancer.

It’s not a bad idea to wear chainsaw chaps and a loggers helmet when mowing your lawn but it’s not a good idea either.

If I would have had a drink in my hand when I saw that it would been all over the keyboard!

Well, it is a PAIR.

Amen. Nearly every dumb thing I've done starts with "I was tired."
The rest of them start with "There was this woman"...

In my case and at 73, women are the last thing on my mind. Mind you I am a professional dirty old man and proud of it but at my age, just thinking about a pretty lass and what I might think about doing, makes me tired, so I try not to dwell on it. Now I have a looker living in one of my rentals next door and she has a bad habit of sunning herself on the back deck sans most of her clothes and being the dirty old man I am, I cannot help looking....

Happened to me more than once with renters actually. I had one single lass that when I was working on her sink trap decided to stand over me with no panties on. I flat told her to go and put some underwear on as I don't trade rent for that and never will. I'm totally finance oriented. First thing that happens in that situation is your monthly rent goes south and the threat of her telling my wife also looms and my wife of 35+ years would clean me out in a second so I know which side my bread is buttered on....

I can look but that is it.

I own 3 rentals, all nice brick ranches on acreage and 2 are paid off and the third is almost and I have a nice income from them as well so why rock the boat and chance bankruptcy over some trim. No way Jose...

So, are you saying if you had a pre-nup you would?




LOL. Just kidding of course.
