I just scored a two knife Milwaukee combo set at the local shop for $19, one has a screwdriver on it.
I also have a Kobalt folder I like as it has a slot onboard for extra blades, but Molly stole that one.
Not seeing it on quick search but it is a folder as well. My buddy went hunting in Africa and game them out as gifts to all the guide’s helpers.

So those of you who may have used old tools, or you geriatrics who have upgraded, do you have any insights? Are new are tools that much more powerful than the vintage ones?
‘Couple years back I added a Husky 1/2” air impact to the box, it claimed 600 ft pounds. It is way more impressive than my other older,air impacts. I need to do some tests, but my cordless 1/2” DeWalt impact gets down and does work. Used to be my corded 1/2” Milwaukee was the tool when the older air powered impacts couldn’t get it done…not so sure anymore. I love tools and have 6 or so impacts of various corded, cordless, and air power.‘’When I built the shop I ran 3/4” pex in the wall to my 8- gallon air compressor. No complaints.

A security update broke the posting window. I had done the update and started testing, got a call, and wasn't able to get back to it for a bit. Just noticed. PHP caches had to be rebuilt. Easy, but had to see it first.
Speaking of refunds, probably time to build up the cost covering fund.
Funny it was only down for a minute Tuesday and I thought it was a glitch...I often forget to check the Board Tech section. Cost covering fund request sounds like a good idea.

They do have them, nearly all do, but are hidden. The Tesla has one inside the console. The Smart has it somewhere hidden but I don't recall where.
Do most modern vehicles still have a round 12v power socket?Copilot
3 steps completedAnswer
Yes, most modern vehicles still come equipped with a round 12V power socket, which was originally designed to power cigarette lighters. As smoking has become less common, these sockets have been repurposed as general power outlets for various devices and accessories. Modern vehicles often include a combination of power outlets, such as 12V, USB-A, USB-C, and even 110V household outlets, to accommodate a wide range of charging needs for devices .The 12V socket, also known as an auxiliary power outlet, is a cylindrical receptacle that provides direct current (DC) at 12 volts, which is suitable for charging devices or powering accessories on the go. Despite the rise of USB ports for charging, the 12V socket remains a standard feature due to its ability to power a wide array of accessories that require more power than USB ports typically provide .The ecosystem of devices that utilize the 12V power port is extensive, and many consumers still have accessories that require this type of connection. Additionally, the cost to include one or more 12V sockets in a vehicle is relatively low, which is why they continue to be a common feature .Interesting and good to know. My Lexus had one in the rear cargo area, which was nice for an electric cooler or fridge. I am not aware of one my Silverado, but will have to go searching.

I thought they were rebranded “power points.”A traditional cigarette socket outlet was round and was intended well, for a coiled cigarette lighter. I am saying the powered round holes are no longer prevalent in cars sold today. You get USB ports instead, or power points. Words matter counselor, as I know you are aware.😀

Finished product? Like in toilet bowl? 😀
Well, the thermometer in my outside grill went kaput courtesy of subzero temps, so it went less than perfect. I got some carbon. 😆
Normally I grill 4 minutes on one side, then flip it over and stick probe in the middle of burger, and keep grilling till it goes to about 140.
Initial temperature was too high and they got burnt on one side. Still, taste great.
Next time.
Um no. Like formed into a paddy and what it looked like grilled. My wife does a similar mix of pre chopped Ingredients mixed in the meat…however, the process does not seem like a common thing here. -

Sure is a lot of work for a burger . Where is the finished burger pic? It's like watching a car restoration show and not seeing how it turns out. 🙂

Yeah, I know they come with cigarette socket plugs, but some people are just that stupid.
Most new vehicles don't come with a cigarette socket plug.

Hah, well, there's the problem. What doesn't suck? I have a plug-in Stop & Go that is awesome. Their cordless is fucking garbage.
CO2 cartridge? I have a Milwaukee compressor that runs on M18 batteries but too large for your application.

I just found one of these in the Tri-Cities, about three hours away for $500. Did you buy this one Joe? How much was it listed for?

AAA? Doesn’t your insurance come with towing/roadside assistance coverage? It’s usually equal or superior to AAA and is cheaper if not included.
‘We pay for AAA and it has been amazing. They even towed my son’s 1970 school bus when we had a blow out on the freeway in Yakima. -

Yes, but do you park like a dick, which would justify the zip tie treatment? I think the people who need it most, will be least prepared. Another fun one is pepper spray on the door handle.

Pepper spray. I like that.
We used to spray it on the air intake in Crown Vic’s. Or fill the defrost vent with hole punch paper bits, set selector to defrost and fan on high. Imagine the rookie’s face when he turned the key to the on position. -
4’ of white stuff here. I like the creativity Joe!

So this is a gunfighter and lady seat, not a gunfighter. I did not think there was a backrest option for a gunfighter.
Correct! I had the same Gunfighter and Lady seat on my 2001 XX.

Good to know! I have a newer or newish iPad I bought from Dave that isn't lightning powered, and uses something else but I thought it was directional specific. I will have to check.

Thank the EU for legally forcing it.
That said, it had to happen, since USB-C is the permanent future connector.
I like the lightning port as it goes in both ways. I am sure there is a joke in that word choice. -
I like the lightning cords and was annoyed when they announced the change. Most Everything we have uses them. Molly and I have older iPhones.

Nice looking bike.

1997 CBR1100XX Blackbird
Nice looking bike! Curious if it was a Canadian bike as we never got a red 1997 model in the US?
Help wanted with de-rusting chrome.

+1 on Never Dull. It is tedious but years ago I brought back a Honda Trail 110 or CT110 with tons of rust scales on it. Get a fresh new can, and try using the bottom of a rounded Craftsman handled or similar screwdriver while pushing down on the wadding against the wheel lip. Worked like a charm. Then again I had two prepubescent boys to do the work while I drank beer and barked out orders like, “press harder”. My oldest son still has that bike. He pulled the motor, split the case and resealed the whole god damn thing…I created a monster.
