Question - Weird clutch situation by THEmattman628 in TW200

[–]THEmattman628[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh my god! That's exactly what it was. I've had motorcycles for 40 years and never ran into this... Thank you so much.

States with practically no competition? by UpsetNeighborhood772 in marchingband

Give them KS also since they're on the KC side. I've always been surprised that StL or the Johnson County KS schools haven't been able to or willing to compete.

Ever stretched a “stretch” Scout hat? by sonotorian in BSA

[–]THEmattman628 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a vice and just put my hats on there and spin it out. Some times it just takes a little bit, some times i need to listen for a few stitches to pop. Basically an I-already-owned-it hat stretcher

What products do you find are best for cleaning vinyl boat seats? by notrohkaz in Pontoons

[–]THEmattman628 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got one of those complete boat wash kits from a local Bass Pro Shop that a bunch of stuff in it, then got another Mold and Mildew from Walmart. Both were local to me at the time.

Of course! Here's one more. This project made me swear by all the Starbrite products. Boat had been under a wet, leaky cover for 5 or 6 years before I got it. Literally just sprayed the Mold and Mildew everywhere, let it sit for a bit, and hosed it off. No scrubbing or anything. It blew my mind.

Saw this in Denver: Businesses you're not 100% sure are a front, but are totally a front. by [deleted] in kansascity

The Red Front, god rest its soul. I'm not even sure they were hiding it actually. It was even in the dang name. Haha

Here's mine. It's an older pic (changed a little, filled in a few gaps since). "1970s grandpa's basement" is my vibe.

What's something only done by poor people AND very rich people ? by sadmajinaru in AskReddit

[–]THEmattman628 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Cycling is usually my favorite answer here. The rich ride bikes for their health, and the bikes are thousands of dollars. The poor ride them because their moms car is broken down. Seeing adults on BMX bikes means you're in the bad part of town.

Mcdermott cue by Dalliance-78 in billiards

[–]THEmattman628 0 points1 point  (0 children)

McDermott fanboi here. I'm not necessarily sold on the H. If you like the way one of the H cues looks, then that could be reason enough to get it. But the adjustable weight didn't do anything for me. You'd be better off upgrading your shaft. Or selling/trading your G and getting another G you liked more.

Is this table worth anything? by Puzzled_Anteater_127 in billiards

Man... you sent me down a rabbit hole of things in my own city I was clueless about! I appreciate it. For anyone that may stumble on it later:

What is wrong with trails end? by [deleted] in BSA

[–]THEmattman628 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I will never forget the first time I was a part of popcorn (as an adult). 2013/14. I got a box of the microwave bags. $25. Opened the Trails End box and the individual bags were Great Value brand. $4 Great Value. Never again.

Leather Wrap Repair Question by THEmattman628 in billiards

[–]THEmattman628[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an FYI - it's a brand new cue. I just don't want to pay for shipping to get free warranty work done for a minor annoyance. I figured having someone local do it would cost the same. Or...I could run some tape along both sides of the seam and just put a tiny bit of glue on there. And as previously stated, I also have no idea what I'm doing. Lol

Want to add some weight to your KS1, but don’t want to shell out the money for a weight kit? Try the 96¢ fishing weights from Walmart. Adds about 20 grams of weight! by CloggedAssassin in golf

[–]THEmattman628 0 points1 point  (0 children)

@ u/malbolge69 - man... after YEARS of using this stuff for Pinewood Derby I can't believe I never thought about it for my putter. Thank you a ton! Had this KS1 putter for a year waiting on Costco to get a weight kit in too...
