Nodust, that's a special ratchet strap, it's "auto tightening"..


Knots, I do not know how those dang knots got there, I'm certain, not by me!!!!

Carburetors on pretty much any engine. Love that you can easily tune then with a flat head screw driver. Hate that you must run non e fuel with treatment or they gum up faster than jello

I have laid some beautiful looking welds.....that had horrible penetration. I have learned to practice on a scrap piece before actually laying a bead

I have a small project I'm working on that will require a few tacks on some 1/8" aluminum. I've been youtubing the shite out of some instructions. Worst case, I'll rivet it all together intead.

Fishing line.... It's always amazes me how it can twist around the rod and tie knots all by itself without any of your help

Yeah I'm pretty sure that's how some of those tricky boy scout knots were invented.

Guess I gotta just throw the whole thing away now.


I'm now on a streak of 8 outtings of returning to the dock without a reel that needs the line completely cut out of it.

I tied a brand new $12 spinner on a pole last year. First fricking cast, the thing went flying. I forgot to swap out the line and it dry rotted

This thread has cracked me up. The only time a ratchet strap makes me nervous is when I'm trying to reinflate a 4 wheeler or lawn mower tire that the bead has broken on. The rest of the time they're about as easy as using a bicycle pump. I'm starting to wonder about a few y'all.

A little ether, no strap needed. And I do mean a LITTLE.

Weed eaters hate me. I have two heads for my gas one and an electric one and they fail every time I use them.

I just spray roundup in areas that need weed eating so I can avoid using them.

Saw a dude almost get killed trying to reseat a tractor tire with ether. Had a buddy who was a farmer up in natch. parish. He had a 1 armed guy working for him, told me he blew the other one off doing the same thing. F that
