It would kill mine if I don't back off. Just a little bit of brake and it locks up tight.

I had a *somewhat* similar experience with a belt sander, though not nearly as exciting. I was deburring some shims that we cut square. Probably 1/16 thick, can't remember, it was probably 15 years ago now. I had a stack of them in my left hand, and with my right hand I would grab one, quickly...

Along the same lines, it's amazing how many spoons are accidentally made convex instead of concave...

Once upon a time, back in high school... It's a small school; my graduating class was 47 strong. I wasn't popular, but I wasn't unpopular, either. I was just there. Being the class clown that I was, I started wearing a white lab coat in my chemistry class. Where I got that lab coat, who...

I want...

Yeah, I was trying to get some fluid film all over the inside, and it works a bit, but... Last time I blew the snow it was really wet and sticky. I've picked up some dirt from the sides of the roads, too - I think that probably rubbed some FF off and helps the snow stick, but, you know... I've...

No, it's an MK Martin/Meteor. I like it, I like it a lot. Things I like: Can drive forwards/Don't have to crank my neck like a push type 3pt. Can still use the FEL as normal While it does stick out quite a bit, the turning of the blower is near the turning of the tractor, ie, when I turn I'm...

I blew 10-12" of snow out of the driveway and private road. All in all, probably put 2 miles or so on the tractor/blower. Last night after getting the kids to bed. Was out until 10:30 or so - big ol' LEDs on the ROPs sure are nice. I just wish the road commission was any good. More than half...

That's not a bad idea. Pretty sure I have a paint pen floating around the garage somewhere. When I find it I'll have to use it to mark out where it belongs so I know where to put it back. I feel silly, cause it seems very obvious how it works (in hindsight). I probably struggle with it every...

I moved some snow tires from the pole barn to the garage. Then I moved some summer tires from the garage to the pole barn. Then, in a way more exciting move, I moved a shower stall from the garage to the deck so it could go in the house. And the piece de resistance, I finally threw the 68"...

Who among us doesn't need a little "fluffing" from time to time?

They did. Not before I knew Kowboy, but, yeah, they did. TBH, I don't think that he would be one to partake. I don't know for sure, just guessing.

I actually know of a guy who wears those tennis-boots un-ironically. He has a convertible ford bronco with large steer horns on the front and painted with the American flag. This is Northern Michigan, mind you... Handlebar moustache, big bushy beard. His name? Kowboy... I sh1t you not...

I thought maybe posting something mildly political...

I pulled a tree out of my black dirt pile. The fact that it's been sitting there for 10 years doesn't make it not a black dirt pile! I'll get it spread out, I swear! Maybe I'll get some time in the spring.

It's easy to get on the ice and play. It's hard to get really good at it. http://www.thingstodonewjersey.com/nj-curling-in-new-jersey/ I'm surprised there aren't more clubs in NJ to be honest. Probably some that aren't associated with USA curling or something. It's great, give it a shot.

Just thought I should add this here. If anybody thinks they can't do it, or they're too old or something... That's nonsense. My team's skip is 77 years old, just had knees replaced, and also a booming voice (which is great for a skip). We also have a wheelchair curler in the club. I don't...

I'm not much of a collector (unless you count cardboard boxes from Amazon), but my hobby is curling. It looks like a drinking game (and, to be honest, drinking is more than a small part of the culture) but there really isn't a ton of time get to your can, take a swig and run back to be ready...

His helicopter series was great. That dude flyin the remote control heli was ridiculous. How the hell can a helicopter fly sideways? Even understanding the physics of it, how the hell can a person manipulate the controller with enough precision to actually do it? Freakin crazy.

I hope it had a lavatory.
