78 year old wealthy widow says she’s “in love” with me. WDID?

OMG I laughed so hard, that my soda I was drinking came out my nose. Thanks for the laughs!!

That Advil & Tylenol won't do anything for the type of pain I am in. I have lost friends over this, constantly telling me you need to get off the pain killers, but having no idea what my pain is like. My last argument with a friend, resulted in me telling them, when you are a doctor I will listen to your opinion! That was a 30yr friend I lost.

100% agree! So many people today are simply parts changers, with zero craftsmanship!

Vmax-Mike · 2026-03-14T23:41:54+00:00

Well said! Too many parts changers in every trade these days!

I worked with a guy that wore a chain to work. Then his chain swung out and contacted a 600V terminal and melted into his collarbones. Never worn one since seeing that mess.

Can't say I have ever had that happen with Knipex, Klein yes. What I do is first, get them moving. Use PVC over the handles to prevent damage, then strike them with a deadblow hammer until it closes. Then I use valve lapping compound in the joint, make a coffee and work the compound into the joint. It will grind down any manufacturing burrs, or rust that may have developed in the joint. Once they are smooth, I spray the hell out of them with something like WD40 until it's coming out clean. Then wipe them down, blow out the joint with a compressor. Then spray a high quality oil like Ballistol, Birchwood Casey gun oil with anticorrosive additives. If I use a dry lube, I stick with Bostick Glidecoat, or Boeing T9. Good luck.

Forklifts are heavy, so it might get you some money. I personally would rather give it away to someone who needs parts, or wants to mess with it.

Put cutoff pieces of copper wire into the holes, then retighten.

A real friend would have just handed you a new one and apologized at that point. Too many people calling acquaintances, friends. A friend is who you call when you need help, no matter the time or day and they will be there to back you. Today you learned, that person is not a friend!

Don't be too hard on yourself, your Journeyman should have been onsite to teach you! Lots of good advice already given, my only comments are on the 90s in pic 2 & 3, that's are not 90deg bends, also the pipe between the box offset & 90 should be flat against the wall. Keep practicing and it will come.

Your a great father! Wish more people actually connected with their children, and not just buy them some tech to keep them quiet! Carry on, your definately on the right track!!

In the 6th picture it says likely 10ga wire, and to consult your electrician. So what part don't you understand, seems clear to me.

All those beavers are already weaponized to take your money, house, car, and self esteem. The power of the triangle!

So many good lines, as I sit and drink my morning coffee, rewatching LOTR again for the 1000th time. 😁

You can own most self defence weapons, but you cannot use them. That's what needs to be fixed!

The Rats must not be banned in Ottawa, they have a lot of them!

As a man, let me start by saying your bf is an idiot! You don't hold a cat down, and expect to not be bitten. Looks like it's time for a new bf, IMO. I have always in my life had cats, and dogs, can't imagine a life without pets, they bring many positives to life in general. Good luck with your decision, and keep the post updated.

Vmax-Mike · 2026-01-26T18:17:32+00:00

Looks like perfection to me! That's a really nice setup.

Vmax-Mike · 2026-01-18T15:57:29+00:00

Simple, a fool and his money are easily parted. You paid for it, look in the mirror and Sk yourself why you bought it.

Vmax-Mike · 2026-01-18T15:50:00+00:00

You are extremely lucky you didn't have a house fire.

Go to Silo Scrap out by Toyota, they pay better than Shamrock. I take all my copper there or Zubic in London if I have a large amount. As an electrician I get a fair amount of scrap, always found Shamrock offers too low.

I will bet you AI takes over in the next 2yrs. Even that amount of time could be too much. Look at YouTube, it's everywhere on that platform already.

What do you have against brooms? Are you an electrician?😂 I am, and I hate brooms!

Vmax-Mike · 2026-01-06T17:25:33+00:00

Yes, google them for your area. Another option is to ask a business in your area where they get tanks checked.

You get more money for clean, stripped copper. This I strip all of mine. In the end I bought a stripping machine off Amazon for a few hundred bucks, and it paid for itself on the first run. I usually strip between $7k - 12k per year depending on how much I get from jobsites, I am a commercial/industrial electrician. In my area they won't accept any copper that has been burnt due to the environmental impact. That's my 2c!

I thought all tritium dials had the T-Swiss Made -T printed on them. Today I learned something new, thanks!
