Well, that leaves you out, Gramps.

HEY!!

 

[dave350]

R.I.P. 6 horse shop vac.

Motor burned up.

View attachment 43798

I bought it when I was 18. I'm almost 40 now.

Be glad you got say goodbye. I apparently lost my 4 1/2” angle grinder sometime in the last few weeks. I rarely lose anything so I was kicking my ass hard for that mistake. Then kicked my ass again yesterday when I had to buy a new one.

Can’t help but think that grinder is being Fed Ex’d to El Salvador right now.

You'll find it now that you already replaced it.

You’re probably right. Next time I reorganize my van it’ll be in the mix somewhere.

What dissolves old glue?

Whatever kind of glue they would have used in 1987 to glue outdoor carpet to aluminum..

Acetone ain't working.

Paint stripper might work but last time I used it, it set my hands on fire.

Picture this: if you were to take a sheet of paper and make paper cuts all up and down the back of your hand and fingers, then stick your hand in a bowl of lemon juice,... that's about what it feels like after it's been on your skin for a few minutes .

The ****ed up thing though, is that it takes a few minutes to start burning.


Anyway in 1990 my dad brought a set of ultralight aircraft wings into the house and spent weeks removing the old fabric sail cloth and getting the old adhesive off the aluminum tubing. He used methyl ethyl keytone. I don't even know what that is exactly but they don't have it at the stores around here.

Try lacquer thinner. If you go to a mom n pop hardware store, you might be able to find the old fashioned MEK mix.

It was controlled because CARB doesn't like how it smells. Talk about one State telling the rest what they can and can't do.

Yeah I have a policy - if a quick cursory search doesn't turn it up, I'll go buy a new one.

Every f*ing project is 20% work, 80% searching for my tools.

Except this boat. It's 5% work, 95% wishing I hadn't just taken an air hammer to light gauge aluminum.

That's why I put my tools away.

That's why I put my tools away.

I lose them while I'm still using them.

Seriously.

My blue handled Craftsman Phillips screwdriver goes missing several times a day.

Yesterday I lost a bottle of Simple Green three times.

and your drivers license, and your organ donor card, and your library card....

 

[Duck]

and your drivers license, and your organ donor card, and your library card....

Library cards are for people who read books.

Hopefully my life never gets boring enough I start reading books.
