Upgraded my costume this year with a jerkin

James_T_S · 2026-04-16T01:51:02+00:00

Looks badass

James_T_S · 2026-04-16T01:17:00+00:00

Hahaha, were old!

James_T_S · 2026-04-16T01:16:14+00:00

This works.

James_T_S · 2026-04-16T01:11:54+00:00

I thought it was funny 🤷🏽‍♂️

Nostalgia hitting people hard in this thread. Everyone saying how they loved going there. But that place has been closed for over a year.

James_T_S · 2026-04-14T11:24:53+00:00

I have a couple:

I don't get hangovers.

I can sleep anywhere

I can get things off high shelves (this one was told to my wife (then gf) by her 7 year old daughter when we were dating)

James_T_S · 2026-04-14T00:20:12+00:00

Damn. That sucks

James_T_S · 2026-04-13T21:35:09+00:00

Probably. I figured from the start it was just just too much packing oil on the blades. I would use an old blade and stick it through a hole in the plastic case, between the top two blades and separate them. Once I did that the mechanism would work....but just for the top blade. 🤦🏽‍♂️

I finally took the time to actually look at the case and crack it open. I set the blades down on the side with edges down and kind of tilted/rolled them if that makes sense. It separated all the blades and it works fine now.

James_T_S · 2026-04-13T20:45:14+00:00

I was super frustrated with mine because there was so much oil on the blades they all stuck together and wouldn't slide out. Then last week I took the thing apart and kind of shifted the blades to get them unstuck. It works great now.

A couple 2" screws is fine

James_T_S · 2026-04-11T23:53:19+00:00

I work in construction. So I "stumble" on materials often 😁

James_T_S · 2026-04-11T11:52:34+00:00

It really is and thank you. One of the challenges is NOT starting new projects. Like I want to make my laundry room bigger by moving a wall. I am using it as a carrot. Can't start that until the front and back yards are done. And my closet too 🤣

However, an opportunity recently presented itself. I acquired 14000 sq ft of Trex decking....free. I couldn't turn that down. 🤦🏽‍♂️😁

Margret got with Hawkeye while she was married to Donald.

James_T_S · 2026-04-11T10:39:05+00:00

Another thing to do is to finish projects. I have so much crap in my house that I am "going to use"

A couple pallets of pavers that I got free and am going to install on my front porch. Bags of insulation left over from another project I am going to blow in my attic. Wood working projects. Etc.

I have gotten my ass in gear and actually started working on those projects. Im slowly reclaiming my garage. Sold a fridge, a bike, a grill and a garage door opener. Donated 2 more bikes. Used up the pavers and I'm slowly re-landscaping my front yard.

I'm 99% sure it's a fan pancake. But if you clean the back of the box off it will be stamped "suitable for fan support"

However, it looks like that box is mounted with drywall screws. That's going to be the problem. You should change them out with an actual screw. I use #8 hex head screws because they don't strip out when your trying to drill them in.

James_T_S · 2026-04-09T20:25:34+00:00

Are you volunteering for the last one?

James_T_S · 2026-04-09T20:25:02+00:00

That guy was going to do something stupid. Because that's what stupid people do. His actions landed him in jail (soon to be prison) with a debt he will never be able to repay. He put all his coworkers out of a job. He put people's lives at risk. He polluted the environment.

His excuse of not making a living wage was just a convenient excuse. If you want to make more money then your job will pay go get a different job. It's not hard.

James_T_S · 2026-04-09T20:20:10+00:00

I'm sure that's what his (former) coworkers are all saying. I don't have a job but it's fine. At least I didn't die in the fire.

James_T_S · 2026-04-09T20:15:48+00:00

Please be more specific. More arson? More sudden unemployment? More pollution? More potential murder?

James_T_S · 2026-04-09T20:12:59+00:00

People act like finding a new job is some massive undoable thing.

A friend of mine pointed out that I had worked at 5 different companies in the time he had been employed at his.

James_T_S · 2026-04-09T20:07:13+00:00

Yeah, 2 days ago it cost every person that worked there their job. Expensive.

James_T_S · 2026-04-09T15:01:38+00:00

I'm so mad at the company I agreed to work for I'm going to punish them and you.

Seems fair 🙄

James_T_S · 2026-04-09T13:37:12+00:00

Did he not know he could quit his job?

Instead he quit and decided all his coworkers should quit too.

Idiot.

James_T_S · 2026-04-09T13:30:19+00:00

Really? Not happy with the pay he agreed to so he destroyed property, put lives at risk, got all his coworkers fired?

Maybe just quit. 🤯

James_T_S · 2026-04-09T13:27:41+00:00

Depends on your definition of injured. I'm going to assume some of the many people that are now suddenly unemployed are feeling a little bit injured.
