rototillers
what the fuck is with me and rototillers? I don’t need one that much and somehow i’ve managed to get 3 of them. I was at lowes wandering around looking for replacement tires for a beast of one i pulled from the junk. Wandering at lowes has probably been the highlight of my life lately. In their “clearance” section they had one for sale: http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=productDetail&productId=249923-270-21B-643C211&lpage=none for $200 which was [read more]
Electrician Vs. Electrical Engineer
see… an electrician would have been able to do this a lot faster than i. It’s related to repetition. However, I could do it and tell you why at night the voltage goes up on the line (reading ~128 right now). However, not so useful. I learned a bit about how the builders did the wiring and switches in the house. it makes a bit of sense now. One outlet is sometimes controlled by the switch while the other is always hot. I didn’t know this was common. All one needs to [read more]
my “wall”
all the framing is done. i might round out the top and make it a arch/ellipse. I thiiiiink one can buy things at the hardware that are pre-fabbed to round off the top. the drywalllllll. Funny thing how heavy this crap was. I bought it at home depot loading it up on one of their cart things really slow by myself. The cash register lady was like, need help loading it outside. I was like… Nah… then i though… well that actually would be kind of cool and changed my mind. [read more]
Car Roof Rack
took a bit at first but then realized my technical perfectionism wasn’t really necessary. Eyeballing was good enough to an extent. I need a kayak now. Already have the stuff for a surfboard. [read more]
4th of July, 2008
America Rules England Sucks – Watch more free videos This country has gone down the tubes….. the 4th of july used to mean something but now not so much. Had i fought a in a war through WWII i’d be pretty disgraced in what i was risking to protect turned into. I also must be the bad guy thinking it would be more beneficial to society sending our soldiers to war with bamboo spears and spending the difference on domestic programs. It really would accomplish two things at [read more]
Drain cleared!
Ok… i had a drainage problem in my kitchen sink. Not sure what was up. After a while of running water (1 minute or so) it backs up. So…. I figured, oh it’s clogged lets buy a snake and fish it through/out. so… i bought one and spent part of yesterday snaking 25 feet of it through not really finding anything alarming. the drain needs two things… it needs to be “clear” but it also needs a vent to prevent pressurization caused by water being [read more]
New Jersey girls who think they’re famous, SHUT UP!
I don’t want to get a big head, but it really amuses me when this happens. It does happen when i go out and do really stupid stuff no matter where it is. Example, the first 1 hour i lived in NJ walking around the block, i heard a myspace friend yell my name from a bar. Apparently i’m a recognizable person. Andrew lives in Texas. Had he said hello, i’d of got a pic with him. Another friend spotted me on the subway: So… as the subject says. To all the crabby [read more]
kirby and bissel carpet cleaner works!
yes yes make your carpet jokes as you wish. I got the belts for my kirby today in the mail. Installed em and it werks fine. Honestly this kirby seems a little underpowered. It’s only like a 6 amp motor. That bissel carpet cleaner is like 12 and i think some kirby’s are 8 or 10. The carpet cleaner did awesome on my rugs. It was really really really dirty even for me in front of the door. Looks like new now. Photos since I know this sparks my grandma’s interest. Now [read more]
today – drainage tube
fixing the dumb ass plumbers mistake of “hey lets just put a 3″ PVC tube in the hole of the pipe we severed! Dahhhrrrr.. It’s the 2 foot long piece. So i had to re dig about 90 feet back to the street. This will fix 2 of the 3 down spouts on my gutters that were backed up but for whatever reason one i can’t figure out why it’s plugged. If i can’t like put one of those toilet snakes down there and get the clog out i’ll probably have to rip up some [read more]
OH No Mr Mc Gregor! Takin’ the GMAT today, i hope someone spills paint on me.
Takin the GMAT at 8:00. Bout to hop on the harley and go down to Atlantic City for it. I am really winging this one. I spent more time at the bar after work with co workers than all the studying i’ve done this year. AH wellll…. On a side note, enjoy: (Mr McGregor Video deleted due to screwing up blog layout) Oh no, we spilled paint! Take your clothes off. I think Stan and I should use that one as a pick up line. Except with beer, and in the face. I have today off… my [read more]
