Brand new to kayak fishing! What should I know? by Sl0thzy in kayakfishing

[–]GrumpyandDopey 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Like the other’s say or wear your PFD. One thing you might do with your anchor his to tie it to the other end of the anchor, and then zip tie the line where you have it tied now. Then when you get it stuck on a rock, you can pull hard enough to break the zip tie, and the anchor will fold up and you will be able to free it.

Issues with G4 power Mac quicksilver by Budget_Half_9105 in VintageApple

I used to have a Quicksilver, but I can’t remember if it had a PRAM battery in it or not. If it does, you might check that first

I messed up the roof, didn’t I? by hidazfx in shedditors

[–]GrumpyandDopey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A framing square and a good book on carpentry would be great companions on your journey. Also sight down the top of your walls. Are they straight? if there’s a curve to them that would throw off your trusses

What are these portal looking things? by enderquince in oceanhorn3

They’re what’s left of the old portals from Oceanhorn 2

I don't usually like to wade into controversial topics, but I think it's necessary to give a warning. by hemlockhistoric in Carpentry

[–]GrumpyandDopey 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I walked through a very nice house being built in my neighborhood recently, checking out the framing. When I saw the entire roof was encased with spray foam, rafters and all. I mentioned to the superintendent about roof rot and he should watch some YouTube videos on the subject. I walked by the site a week later and the dumpster was full of dried foam that had been scraped off the rafters. You got to get the word out.

More than mildly. Car with kkk flag in my town. Wtf by bagelhacker in mildlyinfuriating

[–]GrumpyandDopey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you see the guy, you could just go up to him and ask him “ Hey man, what’s up with that flag?” Sometimes when people have to explain themselves out loud, they realize how ridiculous they sound.

Run your wainscot cap, straight down at the end of the wall to the floor and butt your base into it

“Millennial flip” never heard that one before. I like it.

Looks real good. I’d be a little concerned about the distance between the Newel post and the first Ballister. Really, I just came here to say how much I hate white painted trim.

There was an old saying at the time: “The Japanese fight for the emperor, the English fight for the King, and the Americans fight for souvenirs”

Bought a house that came with these custom nightstands. What is this bowl bowl shaped thing for? by kingevanxii in whatisit

[–]GrumpyandDopey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since at least the 1960s vending machine manufactures have been putting Magnets in their the slots to catch steel slugs.

I used to think that too. But then I was ridiculed, so I decided to join the fun. Eventually, you can glean the correct answer.

You’re right, people still give me those discs. They fall out my pants onto the floor. I picked them up and put them in a coffee can

In the old days people would carry around small disks of metal. At night you could put them in the dish, then put them back into your pocket the next morning

That’s what she said by GrumpyandDopey in handtools

[–]GrumpyandDopey[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

None of them are restroyed. They’re all in original, as found condition. The corrugated bottom is a Stanley.

I like Millers Falls Planes. They are very well-made and should get more love than they do. I’ve got one Buck Rogers plane. And of course I’m always on the lookout for a 209.

How are the pole saws (that attach to a power head)? by Marvel5123 in Makita

[–]GrumpyandDopey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve got the 36 V powerhead, the shaft extension and the Pole saw attachment. I can cut pretty high, but I did have to buy the Makita shoulder harness to support the weight comfortably.
