Swapped out the caps on my old Pioneer receiver last year and it sounded better than ever, did you just do yours yet?

360 bucks for a gate that looks like a birdcage after two summers? Yeah, that's a steal. I had a customer who went vinyl on a gate facing west and by year three it looked like a peeled banana. Must be nice having customers who actually listen instead of arguing about how pretty the plastic wrap is. But hey, at least now he can tell his neighbors his gate looks "industrial chic" instead of "cracked and sorry.

That old timer at the camp store near Gatlinburg sounds a lot like a guy I met at a gear shop in Asheville. He told me the same thing about closed cell pads for cold weather. I'm curious though, did you ever find out if your inflatable pad actually had a slow leak, or was it just the cold making the foam inside go stiff and lose insulation? Because I've had both problems and they feel different. My experience was a leak from a tiny puncture I didn't see, but the first night I thought the cold was just doing something weird to the pad. It made me wonder how many people blame the pad when it's really a leak.

80 grit is for stripping paint, not wood finishing.

Oh PLEASE. Mike is that guy who watches one YouTube video and suddenly thinks he's an engineer. Yeah technically it's a convection oven but if my convection oven could turn frozen tater tots into crispy perfection in under 10 minutes without heating up my whole kitchen I would have thrown my regular oven out years ago. Plus have you tried cleaning a full size oven vs wiping out a little basket with a soapy sponge? No comparison at all. Mike probably still uses a flip phone too.
