I’m sure you lost sleep over it!! LolThanks for saying that, I was always concerned.
I hear it’s important to some folks for some reason so I figured I better throw out a disclaimer!!!
I’m kinda like a man in China for the first time. Afraid I say the wrong thing and have a hex put on my whole family lol
( that’s for you brufab)It would be my luck I’d forget to like something and get thrown in AS jail!
He would have to stay level with that load.
Throw a beard on that and that's me all day, wife says I even look like that while I'm sleeping. It just makes me laugh that an older guy is using the silly face, I just picture Bob scrolling through the emojis and picking that one

As far as guys go Bob is probly one of the best spirited and good natured guys I've ran across on here, don't worry buddy, if you go to AS jail I'll bail ya out!
I worked with a guy Tom he called himself ( The Old Man ) guy was 70 years old and he used the latest terminology and worked a phone better than I could. Every time you walked in he would say what's up dog or some rendition of it guy was a hoot.Throw a beard on that
You should tell me things like that!!! Lol and yes I’m gonna be the coolest 90 yr old and the old folks home!! Probably be doing Elvis impersonations!
I think some of you guys have been eating your fruit cake upside down. But I do enjoy a good laugh.
Sealed the top with dewaxed shellac then filled in some worm holes and knots with epoxy . Have some minor surface checking but it’s stable at around 12% which is in equilibrium to the house air if they get to be full blown cracks I’ll bowtie them . 
A 700 taking care of business!

You have to love the service department at car main dealerships don't you
So I'm about/nearly caught up on my car spannering jobs, mine and my wife's both had long overdue oil and filter changes and both had overdue brake fluid changes. That stuff in the bottle.... That's brake fluid, or it was, 7.5 years ago it was dot 4. I bought my car, a Skoda which is part of the VW Audi group, new in 2014. I bought a 3 year service pack with the car, yearly oil and filter and first brake fluid change at 3 years. Did it as needed the dealer stamp to keep the warranty. So I know I took it to the Wimbledon Skoda/Audi dealership at 3 years old for it's last service and it's brake fluid change, I still recall clearly the day. Now I know I've been lazy since and 4.5 years is far too long to leave the brake fluid before it's next change.... And I know different makes of fluid can be almost colourless/pale straw/yellowy green/orangy brown, but I know from the colour of the 4.5 year old fluid in the reservoir (slightly green, ever so slightly cloudy) and the much better fluid in the front calipers (straw) that Skoda/Audi use a pale straw dot 4. Clearly that black and very cloudy almost sludge like gunk that came out the back calipers is much older than 4.5 years. For **** sake, you pay main dealer prices and they stiff you on a safety thing like a brake fluid change on a powerful/sporty car.
!!!!!Even though life is busy, I am very glad I know which end of a spanner or socket goes where and have accumulated a very fair set of tools, 'cos clearly you get stiffed by main stealers!
That mac rips!!!! Sweet video!!! Temps are gonna be in the low 30's mon-tue next week me and the old man gonna try and get out in the woods. I'm going stir crazy with all these firewood and saw action pics/videos you guys are sharing. I'm still living off of last years action. Right now I'm just a legend in my own mind got to get out of the house soon. Or I'm gonna be all

Same here I'm going to try and call this tree guy here sometime this week there's wood in his woods as far as the eye can see I'm really hoping I can get some of it.That mac rips!!!! Sweet video!!!

Sad news, this really caught us by surprise.
Our younger dog, Linus, has an inoperable tumor on his spine, and will have to be euthanized tomorrow.
He is 10, is a rescue, and we have had him since he was 2. He is 65 lbs of solid muscle, and fast as the wind. He is very friendly and listens well. He loves to play fetch and tug, and has a fierce "allegator shake", but the only thing I ever saw him hurt was the raccoon that tried to rip through the screen and get into our house (Linus did not have a scratch on him, but the raccoon did not survive).
He also loves to go for walks, hikes, and ride shotgun. Kids and adults alike love to pet him.
We had him DNA tested. He is equal parts of Pit and Boxer, with a little Australian Shepard, Grate Dane and Nova Scota Duck Tolling Retriever.
My wife and I are devastated, and my eyes are not dry as I write this.

Sad to hear. My brother was a service writer at a dealership in our area. He was appalled by the things he saw there. They taught him to basically target little old ladies because they're an easy upsell. He saw the service department put bulk 5w30 in an almost new Duramax because the customer was waiting and they were out of 15w40. He went straight to the owner with that and I believe someone got in big trouble. Most dealerships are good but I find it hard to trust them.View attachment 959476

I'd be willing to bet most American cars go to the scrap yard with original brake fluid in them. We try to convince our customers that it's good maintenance to change their brake fluid but it's a hard sell.
Meanwhile we're changing the race car guys fluid spring and fall. This is the fluid of choice at Road America. $65 a liter.
I'm so sorry to hear that. My thoughts are with you.
So sorry to hear this. It's really hard to lose a family member. Ours have been cats, but part of the family each and every one. My eyes were not dry as we've parted with them.
