    ya ever wounder?

    why the only wrench or socket you need is the only one missing from the tool box ?

    why no mater how you pick up that side cutter it,s always facing the wrong way.

    you go to buy a new truck and spot that very special one just for you, you know the one with the color and decor like nothing you have never seen before. then on the way hone your kid spots 50 just like it.



    Or when ya go to sell the old truck, you know, the one that never failed to start even at 30 below, and when the guy comes to look and buy it, it won't start.

    just wondering
    "anyone who thinks scrappin is easy money ain't doin it right!"

    OH! I thought it was just me, glad to see I'm not the only one that happens to. Olddude how about when your car/truck starts making a strange noise and you can't find out what it is so you take it to the shop and the noise stops.

    I have found that if you place your screwdriver or bit driver into the screw, then smack the handle of the driver with a hammer a few times, it will generally loosen the threads enough to help you get that stubborn screw out. I use this little trick all the time, I rarely have a screw that I can't get out, if it is still stuck, I will use either my Dremel Tool or Angle Grinder to grind the screw head off.

    Hope this helps.

    Politicians aren't usually spending their own money. But once elected, there are all kinds of ways to get rich. For instance, members of Congress routinely and legally are involved with insider trading on the stock market.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    Or when your sick and feel like crap, and you go to the doctor and you magically have no symptoms and feel fine. Makes me mad.

    when you save up a load of scrap for a few months, and the price is half what it was when you started saving.... but you sell it anyway to make room.

    Or buy a house in the country and complain about the smells, the lack of street lights and distance to stores.
