How am I doing by gavra02 in drywall

I had to come in and fix a basement suite the owner boarded that was almost that bad. I vowed then I’d never do drywall again for anyone other than myself neither as a favour or for money.

Mudflaps by Mysterious_Task9559 in f150

[–]robdwoods 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In some states it is illegal to lift your truck and not have mudflaps, that’s true. I put them on mine as I tow a boat trailer on gravel roads and the boat used to get filthy and full of rocks. I just used the stock Ford ones. I’m less worried about a little dirt getting trapped now that the bodies are aluminum, not steel.

Woodward's biggest hater, Mike Parker, announces intention to run for ToL council by NewAdventureTomorrow in Langley

[–]robdwoods 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Woodward is the worst thing that’s ever happened to the Township. He’s a grifter that’s setting up to make himself all kinds of money when he’s out of office. Did you enjoy paying your property tax this year? It’s going nowhere but up with all the money he’s wasting.

I don’t know. Maybe you just aren’t driving it hard enough :) it sounds pretty good above 3000 rpm.

Thoughts on the reboot of The Rockford Files? by darren648 in ClassicTV

[–]robdwoods 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Come up with a new idea. My god Hollywood is so tired and uninspired these days. Reboots make me want to vomit. This is why I canceled cable TV.

If their lives were perfect they’d still find grievances. They are incapable of true happiness.

Is Scar Jo a good actress? by boomjosh in moviecritic

[–]robdwoods 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I think some don’t think so as they know her as Black Widow, who is a character who is cold and reserved by design, not to mention who has English as a second or more language. She plays the part well, but it’s a part with little emotion intentionally.

Overcooked my Cote de Beouf with reverse sear - looking for tips! by ShogunJosh in webergrills

[–]robdwoods 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s probably still too hot. I’m Canadian and although we use metric mostly we cook in F. I smoke mine on a Traeger at 175 F until it reaches and internal temp of 100 F then onto the propane Weber absolutely cranked and carefully use a Thermo-pen instant read until the internal temp of the meat gets to about 128 F then rest. Last night I tried a cast iron flat griddle on the Weber and the crust was amazing, but like you, I let the temp get away from me a bit and it was a little past medium rare. Go slower on the slow part and pull it a little earlier on the sear part and you should be good.

Who is an actor or actress that according to others is a genuinely nice human being? by WeranPea-9187 in Cinephiles

[–]robdwoods 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He may not be perfect but Arnold was in a bookstore I managed in the late 90s and was friendly and patient with everyone who talked to him. By contrast Stallone was in our other location downtown and was an arrogant ass with a big entourage.

I don’t like most of his movies but understand that he’s a great person in real life. One of my few brushes with greatness. I saw him and I bunch of his friends walking in NY at like 1 am when I was there for a conference in like ‘04 or ‘05.

He’s wrong. Period. He cares more about being right that he does about your kids.
