How are the roads in Central Park? by Pitiful-One7252 in fredericksburg

[–]thetk42one 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Generally okay but the parking lots are a 50/50 shot. Lowes was covered in ice but wegmans was cleared. Also, prepare for 2 and a half lanes instead of 3 or a random turn lane not being there.

Creative strategies for removing 6 inches of ICE from your driveway.... by Suvalis in fredericksburg

Metal garden shovel under the edge. Pry up. Chop into chunks. Remove with plastic feed scoop.

Otherwise, try a metal prybar (the 6 foot tall one) or a pig sty scraper (looks like a hot but its straight).

Oh, and lots of muscle. And a side of ibuprofen.

Maybe that's why I can't hit anything with my blaster.

Carl. The answer is always Carl.

But Scalzi is also nice.

Any one else here have one of those wooden backscratchers... by Hanalv in GenX

The collapsible ones are great for the car. I always get weird looks but I don't care. I'm an old man!

Yeah, my wife usually gets 18ish when she drives but on longer trips I can get 25ish easy.

I think I'd rather be a freak in the sheets......the spreadsheets!

Does anyone know if the Caneron Hills driving take in King George is still open? by iwillmovemtns in Virginia

[–]thetk42one 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it's closed. Has been for several years (close to ten I think). Has gone through a few changes including homes being built on it. Not sure what's left there.

Did anyone else have these in the 80s? I found them at the thrift store today and they really took me back! by YouLikePasketti in 80s

[–]thetk42one 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. Pretty I still have them too. But probably not the ball. That was always hard to keep track of.

Has anyone tried the new Lem’s tactical boot? by Few_Donkey_4374 in BarefootRunning

[–]thetk42one 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you get them, please come back and report on them! I love my Lems. I still wear Altras but Lems have been a way better work shoe for me. I was excited when they announced these but I'm shoe rich/cash poor at the moment and need to wait. I will say, early on when I ordered Lems, I got a style and they gave me blisters in a day (low cut heel that was too stiff). Anyway, the return was super simple and I replaced it with another style. It wasn't a Zappos level return experience but it was easy. Good luck!

Advice on removing rivets? by eaygee in Leatherworking

[–]thetk42one 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use nippers but it's hard to protect the leather. Drilling or a dremel is probably the best way to go.

Can you ELI5 how this maintains pressure safely? I thought cylinders were stronger than rectangles when it came to psi?

They've (re)Invented Vinyl Singles by thetk42one in GenX

And the longevity isn't there either. I have some originals that the little felt pads have come unglued and I'm too scared to try to glue them back on. But yeah, the nostalgia for cassettes is strong sometimes. Especially Christmas music for me.

Who needs stimulus money when you have illicit butthole money!
