Flaming bag of poop on her porch. Maybe not just once.
Clearly this kid did it wrong.

What happened to a good slap on the ass with your dad's super thin belt.
........oh wait, these days that's called child abuse.

I got the wooden spoon.

I maintain slapping my wife’s ass, just a habit.
Chris, your tight ass should’ve broken that wooden spoon.
I’m trying to pay my quarterly taxes(first time ever) it’s a real struggle to actually do it, I have so many other things I need to do. I washed a check from a retailer, (turned to mush only 1 hour into 2.5 hr process that I’m still not satisfied with)then looking for my checkbook I find another check from the 14th. I think I’ve overpaid taxes for years just by my inability to keep track of everything(receipts etc)

Funny thing is one time the spoon did break and I laughed. Let me tell you laughing is not the right thing to do in that situation.
Mike, man, when I told you that you needed to launder the money.... that is not what i meant
Looks like I have some shop time ahead of me. Need a part for my big band saw and it is discontinued. More fun to make it myself anyway. Highup knows what I mean. I have manufactured a lot of parts in my time. Recently made parts and rebuilt my 12" variable speed bandsaw. No one makes a variable speed one anymore and it comes in handy for furniture making.
Just plug it into a foot pedal for a sewing machine, but there are reostat{?} switches I think would work.
I fixed the little one. I am now working on my big one.

Finally going to get out camping next week. 2 vacations canceled this year, one because of the hacking attack in March and the other because of tests before cataract surgery. Going to Cherry Springs state park next week. Darkest site on east coast. Rewired telescope and bought new computer. Hoping to get some good images.
Good luck, Tom.
And I've got the shirt.

But it's funny now. That's how memories are made.
Okay, if this works I'll tell you what I'm doing.
Sometimes a guy ought to put things away.
Since I did the upper a-arm bushings and installed new brakes and a ball joint I left a c-clamp outside. It was rusty then, and it's rusty now. Not horribly just some surface rust.
If you hit Rusty things with a wire brush it looks like they've been wire brushed. When you go electric it turns out a whole lot nicer. I remade the Derusto 2018 and I'm cooking the c-clamp with my 1960s Sears battery charger.
The five gallon bucket has four pieces of half inch steel rod that are connected to the positive terminal of the charger and the c-clamp is suspended in the solution of choice and connected to the negative side.
It's pulling a strong 8 amps at 12 volts and I think I'm producing enough hydrogen to build a miniature scale Zeppelin.
This is the c-clamp before and in a half hour we'll see how much nicer it looks.

I like it buddy!! Now I cannot wait to see how it turns out
Well here's the before and after.
Last night I did an old wrench. I had done this years ago but unless you put bluing on the metal or paint it or oil it, it's just brand new bare metal and it will rust quickly.
So here's the wrench before and after.

I didn't use any lacquer on the screw part. If there's grease or oil on things it doesn't work as well because the part is insulated to some degree.
I suppose the Chrome might also be removed in the process but who cares.
If you whip one of these up because you want to play around there are some rules.
Mix about a cup or a half a cup of washing soda and some hot water to dissolve it and fill the bucket with that. You don't want to add things like salt or vinegar or any type of acid. You also don't want to use stainless steel for those four anode rods. If you do you're going to need a HazMat team to come dispose of what you created.
If you use the preferred electrolyte which is washing soda then there is no hazardous waste produced.
I found this on the beach quite a few years ago. It was just like a block of rusty colored hard sand. You couldn't see between the links.
I carefully hammered and chipped a lot of it away and then did the electrolysis thing on it.
The trick is you need to make an electrical connection and this link of chain is so rusty that the links don't actually touch each other. The trick is how to make a electrical connection to each link without defacing the chain.
I did scuff the surface a little bit to get it this far, but it still covered in pretty heavy rust and I'm not sure of the best way to continue the process. I was thinking that a c-clamp on each link would make a connection without damaging it. I used to have five or six 1-in C clamps. I'll have to see if I can find them.
This site covers most anything you'd need to know about it.

Oops, I forgot to add the picture of the chain.
I don't know if this came off of a boat and got washed up on shore or if it might be from a really old piece of logging equipment.
None of the old-timers around here have been able to help me figure out what it came off of.
