Screwdrivers: I’m buying a set of Wiha unless Gunder or Dee can talk me into buying Wera or PB Swiss instead.

Go.

Getting there.

Wait. “Going” to implode? Are you implying they have not yet imploded?

The next couple hours of my life will smell like powdered sugar and sound like a piano bar.

Just use a 3.5 flat head and a hammer. Whack it in hard till it sets up, then you are good to remove.

Once.

Supermoon ftw. Tell Pat and Dan I said hi when you go back to close down GLBC.

Sometimes?

Rather than put this on the regular sale page, maybe I'll just drop a note here. I'm getting rid of some Klein screwdrivers as I'm mostly converting over to Wiha. Klein is excellent, so I'm not...

Ok this is funny.

I think the fact that they discontinued it is probably the best argument that they will screw us over someday when they are the overlords.

I’m case they are reading this, I was clearly kidding....

It’s not the force of the friction of the pedal axle spinning that causes the pedal to loosen. It’s precession. The force on the axle from pedaling causes the spindle to have unequal force, which...

Chromecast audio. Discontinued. Find one used somewhere. It’s excellent. $30 new.

I’m just here to heckle and to root hard for the Lakers to somehow end up with Kyrie.

How much of the spindle is showing? I tend to be fairly low tech on this stuff, and my inclination would be to grind the spindle flat enough on each side to use a 24" adjustable crescent wrench on...

Clearly it's with my Bondhus 5mm and 7/32. When you find them can you send them along?

And I have a couple extra random 2mm T handles to send in return...

Of course you would!

That would be pretty sweet. If you can find the right color...

And I agree on Pedro's quality. Used to be quite good. I don't buy Pedro's tool now. Buy my old ones,...

My tool of choice for pedals is a Pedros T handle pro. They don't make them anymore and they look like this (not my photo) - they are quite nice if you ever run across any NOS, but the identifying...

No kidding. How many times have you had to deal with a pedal that was absolutely CRANKED on cause someone thought they were taking it off?

Over the top to the back to remove. Over the top to the...

Apparently they are friends with the Old 97s guitar player. So yeah, worked well. He played with them a bit.

And just like that my wife is moving to Utah full time. I assume.

Pedals are reverse threaded to the direction of your crank rotation. That’s so they won’t work loose, but it also means that they naturally tighten over time. Getting them loose to remove them can be...

Nice outfield right?

Kwan’s splits for June are stupid.

4 run 9th for the Guards to come back from 3 down!

Do you think the 8 will stand up to cranking a pedal loose?

True, and this guy says he can rank them.

Props to Prop's, by the way. #18.

Are you fucking kidding?!?! How did I not know this??

Now I want onion rings.

I mean, I always want onion rings. But I want them more now.

Congrats!

Wait. Or not? What do I wish you here?

Very true. While we have a tendency to say that once prices go up they don’t come back down, I think these are unusual times. I would expect the price to fall once tradesfolk have fewer then 372 jobs...

And Kwan went 4-6 and is now batting 281. Here we go!

No worries as long as it’s not going to get wet. And you can get it out through an opening somewhere when it dies.

New code usually requires the crawl space to either be connected to the outside...

So Watson settled with all but 4 of the plaintiffs a bit before the NFL is going to announce the suspension terms.

I'm shocked. Shocked I tell you.

They bring me a little PTSD. I assume they do the same for you...

Stop panicking me dammit:

Alcoholic beverages



Carry On Bags: Yes (Less than or equal to 3.4oz/100 ml allowed)
Checked Bags: Yes

Wait. What 9 liter limit? I always seem to be traveling with a case of 16oz cans. I am about to do that again in a few days. Is that a new rule? And how does 9 liters corelate to 16oz cans?
...

I have one of those nice green one like the anezus in that article. I've always used it carefully, usually with an exacto. In a hurry the other day I used a new utility knife and sliced clean...

Very nice. Less than a week till I'm out east on the annual hazy IPA tour of my own. We bring the beer to us though. Just locked up a bunch of Other Half for the trip. Very excited.

Enjoy...

There is about a 30% chance she is gonna end up in the GOTOS thread. If you see a red Trailhawk with the roof rack covered in beer stickers, say hi for me. And then tell her she made the right...

How much time do you have for the story? Fuck it, I don't have the time. I'll cut to the answer.

She couldn't decide between some luxury SUV thing or some off-road thing, so she ended up on a...

Just sold a 2010 CX9 that our college kid was driving. Used prices were too high not to capture. He’ll share a car with our younger kid for a couple years then we’ll give him the money we sold it for...

I have a Wheelsmith tensiometer and I have never used it, fwiw, despite building many wheels. For better or worse, I also go by feel.

But unlike Dee the wheels I build do not get sold.

Dibs I guess

Very nice Gunder. Super cool.

In this household a couple new toys were picked up during Father’s Day:

Huh. Guess I'm wrong about the Heads being first. In my defense, I'm an idiot.

My first CD was Talking Heads Naked. Which also happens to be the first fully digitally recorded album if I remember correctly. Quite exciting at the time.

No idea on first cassette.

I see you’ve met my friends.

I have to say I'm incredibly disappointed that this thread title isn't the beginning of a short joke with a good punchline.

Those of us watching win. Pass the popcorn.

I'm not sure I'm giving you the win. You only get a win if Gunder doesn't have a tool that can complete on site frame mitering as well or better than your clam clamps. That's not yet been addressed.

Saw these guys open for Old 97s. They absolutely blew the doors off the room. Amazing band, total powerhouse. 688 monthly listeners on Spotify. Now 689.
