Walmart parking lot. Creative ideas around every lane. Note that is a genuine brand-name Vise Grip.

There's a 1x2 laid flat on top of the foundation wall. The top row of license plates are fastened to that with short drywall screws and all the rest are attached with zip ties. Well, except for the ones attached to the basement floor joists. They're screwed. LOL

I missed a spot. Here is my Wife, checking my work. She makes a great supervisor.

Wow

I used "brand x" in my power equipment for more than 30 years. I liked the idea that it was lighter colored than anything else I had previously used. Then one day, I noticed that my favorite oil had taken on a very dark appearance. That was about 15 years ago. Doesn't seem to have made any...

This is the stickiest grease I've ever used. We put it on spline driveline shafts and it stays put. Wurth SIG 3000 grease

And today, another tube of: Mystic JT-6 high-temp. It's a 4-year-old tube of grease that was sitting on the shelf in the man cave (inside). Does it ever go bad ? What's the realistic shelf life on grease that sits in an environment-controlled area ?

Does anyone else remember that five gallon bucket of grease with the big stick ? We'd fill the grease guns using that stick. Or, grab a handful and pack wheel bearings. Or whatever. We never gave a thought as to what kind of grease it was. Grease was grease. Used it for anything that needed...

15W-40. Get some. I put that **** in everything (except my cars)

Chevy Spark. I always reserve one when I travel, but they never have one when I get there. So, I'd at least like to test drive one. And, I'd want it in Kryptonite green metallic.

I admit it. I'm living under a rock. We got 9mm for less than $9/bx - delivered - right before the rush. Just haven't even looked since then. I had no idea

I found this Wurth SG 3000 grease. Some of the members on another forum highly recommended it. I have to say that it is the stickiest, tackiest grease that I've ever seen. We're using this on splined, rotating shafts. It stays put...

I never, ever thought about using a leaf blower. We always used our old thread-bare bath towels (100% cotton) to dry the cars.... They built a brand new car wash, and it offered a blow dryer wand - and it's the snizzle, especially on motorcycles. We use our leaf blower on the motorcycles now...

I had a 2003 Mercury Grand Marquis. My Son got that car, after 120,xxx miles - when he totalled out HIS car. The oil got changed every six thou, or so. Sometimes more. Super Tech oil and filters, or whatever was on sale for less $$$. The second deer strike took it out at 270,xxx miles. Still...

Here's the list of oils that have filed and received the JASO M* approvals. Note that not all motorcycle-specific oils appear on this list. Mobil 1 and Amsoil come to mind here. They note MA/MA2 compatibility on their labels, but did not receive JASO approval and do not show the symbol on the...

The JASO M* rating is not simply the wet clutch friction test. There are other items, such as maximum zinc/phosphorus, sulfated ash, etc. Here's a handy link http://www.jalos.or.jp/onfile/pdf/4T_EV1904.pdf

JASO MA: This is the standard specification for oils that are used within one oil system (where the engine, gearbox and clutch use the same oil). These oils don’t contain any friction modifiers. JASO MA1: This is a lower standard specification for motorcycles that require different oils for the...

Originally Posted by SONICMASD Hi Guys, I know that in 2003 API revised the specs and split the 75W-90 weight category into 75W-90 and 75W-110. I'm wondering if straight 90W was affected by this year's revisions as well? Like is a bottle of straight 90W oil today, the same stuff as what a...

I am in soooo much trouble ! I've used Rotella 15W-40 (conventional) in all of my power equipment for (probably) 30 years. Lawnmowers, tractors, motorcycles, etc
