Post all your scoops here! Keeping the NFL honest since 2019:

He he...

Check out the Bon Appetit thread... Things can get dicey arguing wings!

Don't let the dog in to poop all over the house... What are you a bunch of morons. The dog belongs outside of the house!

I can't open the links, except the article. Am I missing anything good?

Probably real name. I didn't read it, but's S.Dakota. I assume it is a Native Name? Does she come with a drum and try to diffuse tense political protests?

Well... It is South Buffalo. LoL... Very parochial.

I am a bit skeptical. An old school tavern playing by their own rules. When we went there... We even said: "Betcha this place turns the fussy neat freaks off... The wait probably breaks them too... But better for us!" It's very "South Buffalo", which could put people off too. It's a dive... But we found the food great. Yeah you gotta get past it being a dive. Those are the best places. I find your review totally out of joint. Agree to disagree. The good thing is, it (your review) may scare people off... So the place doesn't "take off" and go down hill. It does seem, that they don't need any more business, the place was packed. Word of mouth may be a bad thing. I think the cash only thing too would turn people off too. To each their own.

Wow... Maybe I am easy. You can't screw sauce up... I won't even let Little Caesar's wings go to waste.

Oh my God... They taste like crispy candy there. What was wrong with your order?

2020 Sierra has X-ray trailer vision: https://www.foxnews.com/auto/2020-gmc-sierra-hd-pickup-revealed-with-x-ray-vision See right through trailer, control trailer functions, etc...

Go to Nine-Eleven Tavern. They will tell you right off the bat that it's a 45 minute wait. But worth it. I think they wait till the oil reheats, don't just keep dropping them. It blows Barbill out of water. Yet... It's just a SouthBFLo bar. The gold standard of wings! Cash only.

Is everybody all present and accounted for here? Oh wait... Somebody is NOT on the bus! ??(Who's your pal Shady?)

I won't mess with the garage door torsion spring. Those things scare the Bejesus out of me!

EDIT: LoL... English as a secondary teacher... LMAO, nice reading comp on my part... Thought it was "English as a second language" which is what I am taking! Ha! /wallbash

Always the English teachers... LoL... This time, "English as a second language teacher." "Voulez-vous aller chez moi avec moi?" Please translate...

Get a set of "EZ-Outs" https://www.amazon.com/ATE-Tool-piece-Screw-Extractor/dp/B0002UJNWE Not sure what size... But why would it damage it if you are careful and using right size extractor? Ooops, just saw this! LoL...

Dishonorable cheapskate! ? LoL...

Sure... But not in same sport. Bears played @ Wrigley and were the NorthSide team. Cardinals at Comiskey (few @ Soldier) were the SouthSide football team.

Nine-Eleven Tavern in South Buffalo blows them all away. Just a tavern... Cash only, but out of this world.

Battery on the 2014 MINI Cooper (F56)... I never seen anything like it! Totally enclosed under hood. Have to remove part of the hood molding... Total P.I.T.A. But it looks pretty all hidden and insulated in there. I guess it's the heat and humidity that destroy batteries the most. Better damn work, extend the life of battery. I dread changing it, probably throw a damn code or something! /smh

Yep. Basin wrench for reaching up under (and blindly behind) basin to tighten or loosen basin nut. Without it, it's almost impossible to do, a total muthaphu...er. LoL... I have vivid memories of my old man hollering it up before he got one. LoL These were the pre-Chinese, Harbor Freight days when tools went for an arm and leg AND first born Son! Ha! MAGA! Now... MOST faucets eliminate that nut, snap in, etc... But handy to have. Neighbor went to change his father in law's faucet many miles away. I told him to take it just in case. He almost didn't take it! He came back, thanked me... Said he had to use it. It saved day!!!

Usually things get bigger. When I replaced my water softener (2008), valve head moved fron 3/4" to 1" high flow.

That's how it usually is. My timer on washing machine went out last year... Tore whole panel apart, made custom stainless screws (with finish washers) to hold back it together... Looks like it was designed that way. This because it was glued prior to me doing "exploratory surgery." ? Afterall that, I figured out plastic ring comes off and timer slips out. Well now I am set for a full rehab! Ha! I was scratching my head the whole time saying: "Changing a timer can't be tearing apart whole panel... What the hell were these engineers thinking?" LoL... Whoever sees my machine will know that the repairman cared, a labor of love! ? +1.

Replaced the dimmer switch in bathroom (don't ask... LoL... Okay, anyway: "The light is too harsh in here, it needs to be softer." /smh... It does sooth from the grim reality... Ha!) Actually... Before LEDs... Dimmers practically on all lights (can recessed lighting, etc)... I live in dimmed darkness. Need to replace the washing machine hot/cold water valves... But it's the only fixture (with stationary tub) that has no immediate shutoffs, so will have to shutoff whole house. Will add shutoffs to stationary tub/machine... Probably why I am putting off changing washing machine valves... I will most certainly create a Federal Project! LoL... Sinks are getting easier these days with push-on, O-ringed connections. But I still have a basin wrench that the whole neighborhood borrows: My father gave it to me... About 40 years old... He always had non-standard plumbing projects. Handy little bugger!
