    Dissertation Defence coming up shortly

    that would make more sense , I must have misunderstood her. Opening question to a public gallery would make no sense. But again I have no idea why she even hangs out with idiots like me . Maybe because I never show up without a decent bottle of wine .

    Cold enough for ya ?

    Son in law says some of thier big diesel machines have a bypass pump to do an oil change while the engine is running . Airplanes flying stuff in get the engines tarped and they blast hot air around them to get them off the tarmac after an unload. At least his home now in Ft Mac is tropical...

    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    I'm not a plumber , and wont claim to know code, however the common sense code would have me kicking whomever put a P trap for a sink in the floor joists on the recieving end of a nut sack whack. If thats where it went there is almost zero treason for buddy to plumb it up that way. Almost looks...

    Dissertation Defence coming up shortly

    My friend just defended her thesis for her Masters in some environmental science . They want her to now publish . In academia getting published is a thing?

    The meathead will not be down for breakfast

    Rob Reiner , imo, inherited an immense talent from his dad . He made great films , some legitimate classics . Spinal Tap is so whacky it’s a cult classic and Princess Bride has everything a family film needs to be brilliant. I’ll miss his work . Sent from my iPhone using GTAMotorcycle.com

    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    Oil based paint is getting pretty hard to source , although when you read the chemistry on latex , there is a lot of “not water” in there. The roll and tip method can produce a beautiful finish , cabinet design trends in the UK and north east US right now are brush finish on kitchens . It’s...

    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    I spray whenever I can , but you need a place , everything around you needs masked off . Even with a HVLP (high volume low pressure ) gun, the overspray will float around alot . These days I make a 2x2 frame covered in cheap poly as a spray booth and a 20x20" box fan with two funace filters...

    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    I’m not seeing a trap like others said or how it may be vented ? You could add a “cheater” vent but that might be tricky to get enough height . The drain cleaner Gary mentioned from home hardware is the stuff plumbers tend to use , it’s really effective. Sent from my iPhone using...

    A Christmas Story trivia.

    Dear God , Gavin whatsoever signed on to make a mediocre movie and created a classic . Peter , the kid , is now a famous director . Possibly the best Christmas movie because it hits hard for so many of us , ****** cars , TVs that don’t work , relationships that are sideways and the campy...

    Favourite Christmas movie

    My wife loves the original “Scrooge” , the part where he wakes up all giddy and scares the maid makes her laugh every year . When we have soup I’ll say , “more bread” she’ll say “cost you a shilling” I reply “ no more bread” . It’s been decades of this idiocy lol Sent from my iPhone using...
