bitpusher-
I'm hip, man.
Once I had to drive a GIANT scroo-driver through an oil filter.
It was the first change on a new truck.
I wondered if someone at the factory was pissed off.

I almost busted an O-ring gettin' a filter off just last week.

twigeater-
Did that one make ya giggle?
Isn't this a non-sense thread?

To fold contour sheets
Option 1: Wash 'em and put 'em back on the same bed.

Option 2: Match the 4 corner seems, lay flat and flod like a rain fly!

Option 3: Burn the used ones and buy new ones.

WHERE have you people BEEN? :-)

Humanpackmule is currently excavating a large roll of ancient berber carpet from our backyard. It's been there at least 20 years, probably longer. Dummy just tried to burn it, and that didn't work. It's about the volume of 3 yard bags, plus the added weight of moisture, dirt and roots.

I just stuff the whole tent!

....one piece at a time, that is.

Rolling a tent or its parts can cause permanent creases and possible loss of waterproof coating.

hey hey ive been doing the right thing for the wrong reason this whole time! (ive been stuffing out of sheer laziness) now i have my mantra :"Rolling a tent or its parts can cause permanent creases and possible loss of waterproof coating (repeat aloud until anal-retentives like cmb back away and leave you alone)

Yes, TomT it made me giggle (like WHAT has that guy been smokin', lol) I've got scars NO ONE will see! I think anyway...

thanks stumrider, I never knew! Soon as I learn to "flod" I'll be all set, lol!

treebait, good luck with that carpet. I once tried to dispose of one of those big blue tarps at the dump. They told me I had to cut it up into 2'x2' squares and then I could dump it in the hopper. O-kaaay!

Well, the end of the weekend is near, my dishes still aren't done (I'm sorry, a friend invited me to a bar to see her Nepal pics - AWESOME!) and the good thing is that the clock in my car is finally right! Yay! See, if you wait long enuff, everything fixes itself!

Oh my, and I thought we found some weird stuff under our backyard! If all else fails, sneak to one of your public schools at night and ditch it in their dumpster, (you pay for it after all) (and EVERYONE does it....I know).

My weekend will be extended, I can feel it. 6-8 inches of snow expected by the end of tomorrow. (#!@#&^% Mother Nature and her %$#@ winter weather in April!) Will I ever get to take out that new kayak?!

Thank-you MaryPhil! From now on, all my laundry will be flodded. :)

No kiddin' Sass, we're getting more snow tomorrow! And thanks for the tip on the dumpsters - I forgot to clean out my freezer, and I don't "compost" meat, so...I'm gonna find the nearest public school dumster and make a deposit!

Geez, I was just trying to tell what the crap was made out of.

It was synthetic and now it's in a dumpster.

People used to dump crap on this property untill my folks bought it. When we first started building we had to excavate a 20'wide and 10' deep trashpit and haul the contents to the dump. I dig up junk all the time around here. Friggin pigs.

Why can't I ever dig up a mason jar of cash? OOOOOOHHHHHHH NNNNNNOOOOOO. All I get is old carpet and TV parts.

I thought of the screwdriver trick, and I would have resorted to that if the pliers hadn't worked. Fortunately they did.

Do you guys moisten the seal of the filter with a little new oil before you put it on? I always do; it's a trick my stepfather showed me when he taught me how to change oil. I was able to remove the oil filter on my van with my hand, partly because of that, I think.

Hey twigeater, what's your mom doing traipsing around in the jungle?

OK, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't a freak for doing that. Although since it was my stepfather and not my mom who taught me to do that, I guess I should have more implicitly trusted the source.
