I truly hate those mother****ers.

I spill a lot more gasoline when I use those CARB cans.

They are impossible to use while some CARB faggots masturbate together
and congratulate each other.

Hey, I drove an empty 16' cube van across the border this morning to
pick up all the stuff I bought for US dollarettes.. it could have been
filled with gas cans that actually work and toilets that flush
properly on the first try. WTF happened to this land of the free

I buy old plastic gas cans at yard sales(usually for 50 cents), salvage
the vents and install them in my new cans. I never throw a vent away.

reduce pollution and introduce major inconvenience.

Those pin printers are now worth a small fortune, they are the only
thing to do multi-part forms.

I had a friend that had a big Epson that did everything for his business
multi-part forms and when it would crap out the local Epson repair
center couldn't find the problem because it would always work fine on
the test bench. My buddy realized that all he had to do was take the
printer for a ride when it pooped and put it back to work.

Ditto. Safeway is higher than most everyone in town for everything

prices on most things, so they're my top stop. Walmart has specials
on some things so I get those there.

I almost never go into town with a single task in mind. I stuff as
many stops as possible into the trips to save gas. The round trip is
as circular as possible to save gas, too. No zigzagging around,
wasting time and gas. I amazed my neighbor with a $125 shopping trip
one day. I left at 7am and got back just after 8am, stopping at 4
stores and one place to drop off a package.

Ditto. Safeway is higher than most everyone in town for everything
but meat, so I get my beef and pork there. Fred Meyer has great
prices on most things, so they're my top stop. Walmart has specials
on some things so I get those there.



A small chain called Sweetbay marks down meat first thing, every
morning, so I check to see what they have when I'm in the area. It's
usually the smallest packages that didn't sell for a couple days and is
often half price. They just don't want it in the store, and it's under
1% of the total meat they sell in a normal day. I buy some at Sam's
Club, and Walmart. The other stores in the area are Publix, Winn-Dixie,
Save-A-Lot and Auldi's. I find some name brand things at Dollar Tree
like day old bread & instant mashed potatoes. I use the potatoes in
soup, and to stiffen stew.


I almost never go into town with a single task in mind. I stuff as
many stops as possible into the trips to save gas. The round trip is
as circular as possible to save gas, too. No zigzagging around,
wasting time and gas. I amazed my neighbor with a $125 shopping trip
one day. I left at 7am and got back just after 8am, stopping at 4
stores and one place to drop off a package.



I go grocery shopping about 5:30 in the morning, during the summer.
I get home around 8:00 to 8:30.

Not hard to do. They are rated for more pressure than you can pump in.



I used to see conversion kits for R22 tanks for about $15.


I got a couple of the A and B tanks from ooly packing foam from work
back in 1975 and have been using them as air pigs ever since. I've
replaced a few bashed gauges and rotted hoses, but they're still
hangin' in there. These were nylon(?) lined from the factory so they
don't rust.

They're about 5.5 gallons and my big air chisel would only last about
30 seconds on one, but the stapler or nailers will do over a hundred
pops before the tank gets down to below 55psi, where the staplers
don't work well.

They're light enough to hang on your belt for climbing on ladders if
you don't have a long hose. 3/8" poly hose is just great for those.
Light and pliable in the cold. I've hooked both into my main
compressor for longer run times between cycling, too.

You need to do some manufacturing. I take a large fender washer that
fits inside the POS spout collar. Bore the center out to fit a short
piece of EMT. Braze the two together. Now attach a section of large fuel
line to the new nipple. Now you have the pour side. For a vent I plastic
weld a vacuum nipple into a hole on the top corner. Use a vacuum cap to
seal it when not in use.

I put in almost 6,000 a year, Mikey. Everything I do it local except
the trip to CA in the summer, about 900 miles worth. And I buy lots
of stuff via Amazon to get the free shipping on purchases over $25.
eBay, Craigslist, Freecycle get some business, too.



Most of what I buy online has free shipping. Lots of components to
repair tools& equipment that has been in storage for over 10 years. I
usually wait till I have no choice but to leave the house, then make as
many stops as I can while I'm out. There have been months that I drove
a total of 60 miles, for two trips to get groceries. I can't find all
of what I can eat at any one store, so it takes multiple stops.



No, no it's not free.
It's just hidden in the sale price.

I've got several portable tanks, and two 20 gallon tanks from scrap

upright compressor that was in good condition. :)

We hear that you drive like Mario Andretti and tell your passenger:


In a 15 year old Dodge pickup that needs more repairs than it's
worth? More like, "Get out & push, and don't step in the power steering
fluid." I leave four old printers in the passnger's side so people
don't ask for rides.


"Hold my beer and watch THIS!"


The last beer I had was in 1973.


Those pin printers are now worth a small fortune, they are the only
thing to do multi-part forms.

I had a friend that had a big Epson that did everything for his business
multi-part forms and when it would crap out the local Epson repair
center couldn't find the problem because it would always work fine on
the test bench. My buddy realized that all he had to do was take the
printer for a ride when it pooped and put it back to work.



Hey if they are worth money we have a NEW in the box unit at the fire
station. Believe it's an Epson.
Came in a package deal with one of our OLD Defib units. Was supposed to
be used to print out reports when you used the machine.
I think it may have been out of the box once just to demonstrate how to
hook it up. Guess I'll have to dig it out and wipe the dust off the box....
