An old timer in Dayton told me to ditch my brad nails for glue and clamps on face frames, and he was right

I think Spirit Island is way too complicated for what it actually gives you, and my group quit after game 4

A guy at the Rockford meet watched me quench and asked why I was guessing at the color, so I bought a $9 magnet and now I check with it every time

Wrote off the county auction site for 2 years, then spent 40 minutes reading soil reports and now I get it

I finally bought a $4 carbon steel pan expecting it to warp in a year, and it is now my daily driver after 9 years

My sister bet me I couldn't finish all 5 seasons of The Wire by her wedding in June, so I watched 62 episodes in 24 days

My old foreman told me he lays 400 brick a day at 62 and I've been second guessing my whole setup since

TIL the drummer in my old band kept our best take by recording over the 'bad' one on a beat up Tascam in his mom's garage in Akron

Hot take: that 2006 magazine I found at a yard sale changed my mind about smartwatches

Lost my whole October because I ignored one page in my bu journal

Check the math on October having 28 days. That part can't be right unless you meant a different month. The skipped review page habit is real though, I do the same thing with my weekly spread and then wonder why nothing got done.

Appreciation post: my 4,000th razor blade catalog entry at the county archive and the weird thing it taught me about 1930s barber shops

Did those shops count kids' haircuts too, or just shaves?

Learned to read a hinge cut from a guy in Flagstaff, now I barely touch my saw

Buddy in Bend showed me that trick too, changed my whole game.

Am I the only one who spent 3 hours on drum brakes before I finally started turning the adjuster the right way

A buddy of mine had the same deal with his truck, spent a whole afternoon on one side and gave up twice. His neighbor came over and showed him the self adjuster lever was hanging up, so the star wheel wouldn't spin no matter which way he turned it. Once he cleaned that up and hit it with a little brake lube, the shoes slid right on. He said the whole job went from a full day to under an hour after that. Little stuff like that is what nobody tells you when you are learning.

Update: I walked past the same bulletin board for 2 years, then I actually stopped at the one outside the Kingston laundromat

My buddy Dave found a card on one in Beacon last month for a free riding mower, just had to haul it himself. He sold it a week later for $200.
