Years ago, the companies would have waived a penalty. Thanks to Joseph Wambaugh's 'The Choirboys' novel for that stunt. 1 Quote
LeviF Posted April 22, 2023 Posted April 22, 2023 Did you have a meeting or networking event at which you met some real tools that you know you’ll never do business with? Save their business cards! When you ding someone’s car in the parking lot, take one of those cards, write “sorry” on the back, and stick it under a windshield wiper. 1 3 1 Quote

muppy Posted April 23, 2023 Posted April 23, 2023 true story. My next door neighbor is a veterinarian. He made the sidewalk border in the front of his property small rocks with round prickly cactus set at a regular interval. Hence no dogs peeing on his lawn. quite brilliant actually. I live in a desert climate so we are (Up until recenty) been in severe drought conditions. I call this life hack "my senior citizen car wash" hack. I am a very early riser. Here in socal often there will be morning dew on the car. So I take rags and rub all the dirt off just using the natural water. Windex the glass if needed. Done Its no cost and a wax on, wax off workout for the arms 🙂 Quote

ExiledInIllinois Posted April 23, 2023 Posted April 23, 2023 Always keep your small engine fuel tanks topped off, full. Just plain fuel. You'll never have a problem. Totally full! Just fired my lawnmower up for first time since October. No issue. But it is a Honda. I didn't even have the fuel pcock shut. Quote

Pretty much any surface. Some add a drop of dish soap but I skip that. And use newspaper when cleaning glass. Best streak free way to do it. Believe it or not, old ashes from cigarettes work great as a glass cleaner too. Edited April 23, 2023 by yall Quote

A light switch flipped and I learned I only like GOOD guacamole! Unfortunately, I rarely find that. It was like if there was only ONE good place to have great wings! Here is our recipe: - 1 large or 2 small ripe avocados peeled & pitted - 2 tsp fresh lime juice (from approx 1.5 small limes) - 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped - 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped - 2 large garlic cloves, finely chopped or minced - 1 scant tsp ancho chili powder OR fresh jalapeño, finely chopped - 1/4 tsp salt Using a fork mash avocado and lime juice together until desired consistency is reached. Stir in rest of ingredients with spatula. Taste and adjust. Makes about 1 cup. It’s easy and delicious. Use fresh ingredients and don’t forget to taste and adjust at the end. Typically the salt or lime juice needs a little tweak. If your avocado is not ripe, store it at room temperature in a brown paper bag and check it daily. When ripe it will yield to firm pressure but not be mushy. Enjoy. Edited April 23, 2023 by BarleyNY 1 Quote
