It is definetly hot enough to keep the cold water warm down there. I don't live there but visited Marble Falls in June. At the end of the week the temperature was going up.

speaking of hot and how hot hot is?...

Here is a good laugh for all. This is a boat winch for a trailer. Read the bottom line on the winch.

actually, it is no joke! in these weather conditions, i just use the Cold in the kitchen faucet for routine hand washing, etc. we mix the pups water 50/50 the warm from the cold side with cold from the refer. interior faucets run cool out of cold side...

Anyone know what this brush is called if it has a name? I use it for saw cleaning, etc with mineral spirits. Used with gas last and it fell apart. Bristles aren't melted so I think it's just old. Can't remember where I got it from. HF doesn't carry anything like this. You guys use something better?

Wooded handled, stiff plastic bristles.

Oddly enough it's called exactly what you use it for: parts cleaning brush. Commonly used in a parts washing cabinet with solvent.

they come in a variety of sizes. i have some i use. even a glue brush as a small parts cleaner brush. the one i use most of the time i am pretty sure i got from Snap-On. small, wood handle made like djg's


the one that came with my Snap-On parts cleaning system had a hose on it for solvent



ck out Amazon, they offer a variety. this one is similar to djg's

I think the proper search is "old tooth brush".
No matter how many brushes I buy old tooth brushes get the most use.

i met a guy other day. he was starting a job to clean up house curb view and then later on, soon... do some remodeling. occupant had passed a couple of months ago. daughter wanted to clean the place up. i introduced him to my neighbor, elderly lady needing some light tree work done, fence and around her pool. with my help, we negotiated a sweet deal for her. 1/3 or so of first quote. i passed by the empty house yesterday. some wire coiled up on garage door handle. i stopped bike ride to take a look-see. hmm, 1/8th, maybe 3/16ths... cable wire. with terminations both ends and U clamps. and plenty long. so i called the guy and inquired. yes, u can have it. a nice scrounge for a project i had been thinking some wire cable would do nice on! i plan to stake it out, measure it as i need same for other side, too. a good scrounge and included some other stuff

well, u get the idea. maybe 25' or so

I'm supposed to get a Fedex delivery today. The tracking says it left NJ at 10:15, but it will arrive here between 9:50 and 1:50.

I guess they think they have a time machine!
