- WTH Never seen sardines w/ chili pepper. Looks like I'm on a quest now.
I haven't had these yet, but they caught my eye. It was a 'get my order > $35' item. They're from Morocco, and I've had olives from this brand that were really good. IME, Morocco does a good job with sardine flavor. The presentation in the tin can be lacking, but the fish are excellent.

Here's a brand I have had before, and buy in bulk. Not hot, but a nice spice flavor. They look kinda awful in the tin, but taste great.

a variety of hardened ptfe and UHMWPE mouse skate dots, and put a different set on each of my 4 gaming mice (2 are the same model) to see what i like best, and then just use that on all of them.obsidian-dots-800x800-1.jpg

The VW front grille emblem fell while the kid was driving. Said he heard a a sound from the front of the car, didn't thought much of it until he saw the emblem was missing a few days later.

Went on Ebay and ordered one for $25 buck (free shipping included), so he can put it back on to his car.
Check the package carefully. The seller sent me an MA emblem instead of the Volkswagen one I ordered.

I would put on a BMW emblem just to mess with people. :p

Been on a bit of a spending spree latetly. Bought 24 2x4's and 2 bags of Rockwool insulation yesterday. That came up to a couple hundred. Today I bought 2 8 ton bottles jacks. They were on sale for like 30 each so not too terrible. I needed some and the ones I already have are in the shed and the door is frozen shut. These things always come in handy anyway for leveling small buildings and what not and when doing a job like that it's nice to have more than one. I'm installing strapping on my garage ceiling and trying to push the 2x4 snug against the joists with one hand while holding nail gun with the other was prooving difficult so setup a jig where I can force the 2x4 up against the ceiling with the bottle jack so I can nail it in.

Thought you didn't have anything left after taxes and bills bro?

I also bet you ain't doing shit with that barren wasteland of an off-grid property you bought and razed.

I mean who the fuck wants shade when you're starving to death cuz you can't grow your own food.
