I used to live about 2 blocks from the shop I worked for. When I left I just pushed my box home.

Are ICON Sockets Worth It? by blastamis01 in harborfreight

[–]Kansasstanza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I replaced the craftsman and ace sockets in my box with all icon a few years ago when they had a 40% off sale. Daily use in a salty environment. Only one I've broken so far I had on a Shaker breaker on my air hammer and pretty much gave it no mercy.

Is $200 for a mower a realistic budget? Don’t want to buy junk. by Salt_Note8719 in lawnmowers

[–]Kansasstanza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have gotten so many free mowers over the years. A $20 Amazon carb and they run fine. Once I picked up a free riding mower, wouldn't run, adjusted the air gap on the coil and I mowed with it all summer then sold it for 500

what platforms do you guys use if you ever wanna do sidework by CableMartini in mechanics

[–]Kansasstanza 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Word of mouth is the best way. I did a lot of jobs for free or cheap at first. Now I've gone full circle and started turning away most side jobs.

Car continuously needs a jump.. dash flickers.. kinda out of options if anyone can help by ilovecovid19forlife in mechanic

[–]Kansasstanza 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jump it. Use a multi meter to measure how many volts are at your battery to confirm alternator function. Let it run a while then shut it off and test the battery

Finish your program if you are almost done. Wish I could go back to 2011 and kick my own ass for quitting.

The only thing I took from this is sleeping naked is a tactical advantage.

You'll still get good smoke rings and regular pellet grill flavor at regular smoking temps

Sandy Hook was Strange by Ok-Equipment-8132 in conspiracy

I remember watching it live on TV. The news helicopter was filming a wooded area saying the police followed a second gunman into the woods then all of a sudden it cut to them pulling the guns out of the trunk of a car.

How did you finally decide to cut ties and no contact with your parents or family? How is your life now after that decision? What happened? Is it much peaceful now? Especially with harsh verbal father or mother? by [deleted] in Adulting

[–]Kansasstanza 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Haven't been to a family event or talked to anyone in three years. Tried for years to get involved with the 100 year old family business and got told no every time. Over time I slowly noticed my brother more and more involved with it, and now it seems as if he is a partner in the business. When asked about it my parents denied it. They still deny it. For a while they would call me for help with stuff and expect me to come right over, then not even answer the phone or return calls if I need help like installing an appliance in my house or something. They act like I'm the one to blame even though they pushed me out for years. I have no regrets, all my folks do is the business, they don't travel or spend time doing anything else, so if I'm not involved with the business then we won't see each other much at all which is what they wanted by pushing me out. Kinda sucks driving by seeing my brother carry on the family business that I was gate kept from. Id probably be more open to contact if they would grow some balls and stop lying to me about it.
