My son bought two 1-ton axles to do an axle swap on his Jeep Cherokee. Got in over his head and changed plans. Friends of his in Fredericksburg have a business that does Off-road mods and scratch builds. My son’s project rolled out today for the first time. There is still much to be done but it’s taking shape.5 points

We are planning a kitchen remodel either this year or next. It’s desperatly needed. What I love about our kitchen is that WoZack knows how to make lots of yummy stuff in it.?5 points

Yes and yes. As long as I am married I will have China and China cabinets. I enjoy the Waterford crystal that my parents gave me. I drink whisky out of the highball glasses to feel uppity4 points

I like my kitchen but I’m liking it better since I am the only one using it. I have been making unused stuff dissapear. When my wife recovers she is going to wonder what happened. When I replaced our cabinets I tore out a partial wall and added a big cabinet for added storage. We have plenty of storage but it’s all full of stuff we don’t use anymore. I took a big box of Cups and mugs to the twice blessed store last week. They were the ones that came in the sets of dinnerwear we bought but we never used them. I like a big mug for my coffee and my wife uses a yeti type mug. I did keep some coffee mugs in case we have guests but all the dainty crap is now gone. My next project will be thinning out the Tupperware cupboard. It’s dangerous to open the doors to that cupboard.4 points

Okay, that was weird. I thought a vulva was the little thing hanging down in the back of your throat. Now I find out it's a Swedish car of some kind.3 points

Cuddling I'm not so sure of. Now simple hugging is a great idea. It allows you to get the knife in the other guy's back without anyone else noticing.3 points

Things are heating up in the back yard. It seems that spring has come at last. Even this larger coyote couldn't break up the party.3 points

The hard part is done and he has the motor, trans and transfer case. Now it is just a matter of fabbing up some engine mounts and drive shafts and doing a bit of wiring and plumbing.3 points

Lots of good can come of this. Time spent working on mechanical stuff is great for developing actual mechanical skills, logic and reasoning can be improved, you can work on it with buddies or family members. You learn about physics when actually using it, and you learn financial discipline and planning when building or maintaining it. When done, you can take it to remote places and see nature when you aren't tearing it up and have cold beers with others of your ilk. Beats the hell out of heroin, or so I imagine.3 points

He works for Peterbilt right now, is hoping to get a position with SnapOn tools. He lives rent free in our basement so that’s where the money comes from.3 points

That's not a metaphor, the wife was driving my car (I am quite sore) and was parking, but didn't get it into park. So it started rolling forward, towards the building. She hit the wrong pedal, jumped the small barrier, crushed a planter, and dented the wall. The car, oddly, seems to be fine. My backs a little sore, but that's getting out of it easy. I think Portland sends everything if somebody gets a hangnail. We were calling AAA when 2 fire trucks showed up, then 2 cop cars, then a city building inspector. I think the mayor must have had a previous engagement. My luck runs to extremes.2 points

Having a booth in a consignment shop will quickly learn you which way the wind is blowing. They tell me Waterford crystal is worth about 10 cents on the dollar. The current generations don't care for fancy dinners with fancy dishes. Pizza comes in boxes.2 points

Not cheap, but it’s a good beer for the cellar stash. I bought two 4-packs. One for Saturday after work and one for next winter.2 points

Been trying to get this done the last couple weeks. Decided to leave work early today and get it done. Hopefully a good year for apples and cherries.2 points

Don't get me started. If "someone" didn't put 10 pounds of "stuff" in a 5 pound kitchen it would be okay. Small, but okay.2 points

Peter is a mechanical engineer who ran away from Poland to stay out the military. He has a very heavy accent and can be difficult to understand, but his American beats the hell out of my Polish.2 points

One of the things I like best is the cupboard for cookie sheet storage. A little thing but I love it. I also love the drawers instead of cupboards in the island. Pots and pans and mixing bowls fit nicely. This is my Last kitchen and it finally feels right., but I would change increase the space between counter and island by two to three inches if I could.2 points

I bet Dr Berg is a communist. I listened to a Freakanomics podcast that investigated the MSG thing. One Dr bet another Dr that they could get published in the JAMA. Instead of doing a lot of research, then sweating over writing a paper then doing peer review...he wrote a letter to the editor about how MSG was bad....all of it made up ANSWER the question @Scrapr....yes I do eat ice cream. I am currently on a local ice cream that is salted caramel. It's delish2 points

My boss. I had to ask her if she’s a US citizen. If not, I couldn’t let her know some of the details of my job. She is Been in the US since grad school. Probably about 45 years old. She’s Chinese, but her last name sounds Hungarian. She’s never mentioned a hubby, but did say she has a son, 10 years old or so. I don’t have her figured out yet, but no complaints so far. Started my new job Jan 1.2 points

We've been interviewing a lot of people lately and many of them are from Pakistan and India. One guy surprised me today as he had a heavy accent and there wasn't anything in his resume, but he's in the US Army Reserve. He came to the USA and joined the Army. He didn't put it on his resume because a lot of employers see Reserve or Guard and figure that person would be away from work often so they don't hire them. The funny thing is this particular job is to support the US Army. I once worked with a guy from Pakistan who could tell funny jokes in 3 different languages. I could only understand those in English but the way the others were laughing, the jokes must have been good.2 points

On average, about 12 times a year. I try not to keep it in the house. When I do have it I like to seek out those places that have really good ice cream. The places they make it themselves are best. Moo-Thru in Remington VA is good, as is Farfars in Duxbury MA. Those are my favorites.2 points

A workable layout is more important than the latest fashion in counter tops. Plenty of lighting, both overall and task specific. Plenty of storage. Lots of electrical receptacles. Ceramic floor is hard on your feet after standing for a while. If doing a bones up remodel, spend the money to get the layout you want, the finishing touches can be upgraded later.2 points

Two things - #1 - it is paid for! Along with that is is nice and 80s, with fake oak cabinets, and beige formica countertops which we have managed to preserve reasonably well. My wife informs me this is all oot of style. The vinyl floor is pretty forgiving of dropped dishes and such. #2 - it is pretty well laid oot with the fridge-stove-sink in a skew triangle and bigger than originally designed. It has a window by the sink which is always nice.2 points

they need to put another x in the Max. I suggest at the end. Maxx that way we know the upgraded planes from the riff raff 3rd world planes plus the Portland area light rail is called Max. I don't want to get them mixed up. Go on the Max to BVT (Burlington Vermont) and end up in Beaverton, Or2 points
