As all of the others said, do your exercises. Also, prep your house now for the upcoming surgery. Grab bars in the shower and toilet will make a huge difference. Make sure that you get some sort of extension for your toilet. The first couple of weeks it will be difficult to sit at a lower...

Are you able to reach it from below? If so, maybe get a piece of plate steel a little larger than the cups that need mounted down with a hole in the middle. Basically use it as a large washer on the bottom side and run a bolt and nut through it. Or try some of these...

I had looked at getting one of the trucks. My problems with it were: towing distance (It takes 40+ minutes to charge it to 80 percent on the fast charger), having to add an extra electrical service to my house (200 amp service and no room for an 80 amp breaker), I go into a lot of areas that...

We have a place in the Kansas City area that is a makerspace or community workshop. It is called Hammerspace. You might check out in your area if you have something similar. They have all the tools that you would need to get started and training classes to use the various tools. They have a...

I've seen a lot of Destin's videos. He does a great job of teaching the science behind everything he does videos about. He has a great video on a backwards bicycle . It would be a great channel to binge watch if you haven't seen his videos.

One other problem with the electric vehicles that was found out during the cold months, the range for them is almost half the stated range of the vehicle. As far as the whole wind/solar energy topic is concerned, here is a pretty good summation of the problems with it:

Have you tried YouTube? Just did a search and found a bunch of videos of how to work on the doors for camaros/trans ams. When I still had my 69 Camaro I used https://www.classicindustries.com/ for a lot of the parts. Unfortunately I can't remember which way the latches move.

I would second the recommendation to have the house wrap put in under the outside skin. If you have time, check out the videos from RR Buildings. They build some amazing barns and even have a video on why they use the house wrap. They rarely use the spray foam with their way of building...

I took my brisket out of the fridge this past Friday. It had been in there for 42 days. I didn't get any weights other than the starting weight which was 19.2 lbs. I trimmed the pellicle and the excess fat, then put my rub on overnight. A couple of things that stood out to me was the texture...

CM, What are you doing with the pellicle? I have heard to grind it up and mix it with burger for some good tasting burgers. I'm utilizing the Umai dry age bags right now for the first time. It's been aging for around 28 days so far. Trying a brisket and a strip loin. Can't wait to see how...

http://www.brooksutility.com/products/54 Took a bit of searching on google, but this looks like the screw for an electrical meter ring. Guess Ekstrom Electric Control was bought out by Brooks Utility. Must be from an older one if it is aluminum, as the newer ones say they are made of stainless.

Did you get the paper style or the plastic one? I have had both and just rinsed them out with water after use. You would be amazed at the pain a stone the size of a piece of sand would cause you. The last stone I had they had to do surgery to break it up with the laser. That wasn't fun at...

You might consider getting one of the Generac units with the auto transfer switch. It switches on the generator about 20 seconds or so after losing power. Depending on the size of the home, you can run a lot of various circuits off of it. There is a 9KW unit with the transfer switch for...

Skeets, You might want to double check the dates on the coins. 1964 and earlier coins contained silver in them. We used to have a 5 gallon glass milk jug that belonged to my in-laws. It was half full of quarters, dimes, nickels and pennies. Talk about heavy. :eek: I ended up buying a...

I got the new smell burnt off of this Comfortbilt. I had an issue at first with the stove pipe allowing smoke to come out of it. I talked to the Duravent rep and he told me that he thought that there was a draft issue with the pipe. It only would smoke right at the first light up, and then...
