    SWMBO tried to burn the place down. She's alright, got a nice Lil Jolt. Plugged in a fan and this happened. Then she tried unplugging it. Yikes... I managed to flip the breaker during the chaos 


    Now I'm enjoying a bourbon and laughing about the whole thing. Pretty sure jumped from the upstairs landing to get downstairs to the breaker box. All while the lights were dimming, she screaming, and the dog  freaking out. :)

    @Legume - hopefully not in the "I would have to rally to die" category.  Hair of the dog for speedy recovery.  
    Yes, bourbon, lemonade, tea and a few Advil.  And a gallon of water.  Just what I needed.  Cooking for 18 now.  Gyros and yogurt marinated chicken.
    Pros play hurt.

    Quick vacation observation - kids are even more fun when they don't feel the need to hide drinking around you.  And they carry beer for you.
    Just don't try this at home.

    Manual, AM/FM, window cranks, and manual locks. Less sh!t to break down and fix. Lol

    I should put a single DIN in it though.

    @WeberWho for stripped threads you need a rivnut insert or a helicoil. Both easy and give you a proper thread to work with afterwards.

    Back to work today after 5 days away at Womad festival in Wiltshire. It rained, but sitting around outdoors drinking beer and listening to great music is a good way to spend a few days. Food highlight - goat curry from a Jamaican food stall, tasty.

    I haven't messed with it. Need to go get a thrust washer first.

    Love the removable top on those.
    As a Honda, I'm sure it's a great car, and gas miser to boot.

    It probably isn't as good as you think. It leans around the top whenever it rains. The engine has lost some power and it only gets about 30 mpg on the highway. 23-25 in the city.

    Just find a K20 to put in it.

    @Eggcelsior, until I get the leaky roof fixed, I'm reluctant to put  anything else into it. Plus, having a really underpowered engine probably saves me a lot of speeding tickets.

    Also some upholstery work.  


    You know you can get that upholstery mend material in multiple colors now....you can even get it in your favorite college team colors / logos. Nice job by the way.

    You can do that,  but it requires larger bills.

    Headed to National Night out in the neighborhood where our church is.  Our church always serves Hot Dogs.  800-1000 hot dogs to be served tonight.  The health inspector will be there to ensure each PRE-COOKED dog reaches 165 degree internal temp before serving.   We have one of those large Sams club grills with no lid.  If I have a chance, I will post a pic.
