    I would venture a guess that anyone on this list over 65 has at least one offset wrench that has been bent or cut and welded to be used as a distributor wrench. If you haven't seen it in a while it is probably sitting on a shelf behind that dusty dwell meter that you may never use again but...

    I think at one time or another all of us have done something close to this. Those times when it is necessary to use two of the same size socket on each end of a fastener and you can only find a 3/8" and a 1/2" drive and half your tools are still scattered in another building and it is raining...

    When people today complain about slow wifi they probably never had a system like this. That would have been my "state of the art" system years ago. 110/300 baud switchable depending on the dial modem on the other end. The only difference was my modem was orange rather than green display.

    About a year or so ago I tossed almost a shoe box full of 5.25 floppys. This Spring all of the 3.5's. A lot of versions of Acad and other programs plus data and backup discs. After being retired for 23 years nobody calls me anymore with questions.

    In preparation for my eventual demise I have been trying to cut down on some of my treasures. The crux of the problem is she identifies any thing over a year old as my junk or usually just stuff. The two things she fears most are 1) I die and she is stuck with 86 years of items I deem valuable...

    Happy 250th Birthday, U. S. Navy

    As an old retired Chief I found this amusing. I remember when I went to senior enlisted academy (Charm School) one whole section was on training newly commissioned ensigns, It is a fine line in the engineering department to keep them from doing something stupid and yet not seeming...

    Racoons are much softer than ballistic gel. Winchester Ranger 180 gr 40 caliber. First picture is the hole in the back of the chicken house where the bullet went through the racoon then through the plywood with only a little tilt from a perfect round hole. Other picture same ammo retrieved...

    Yep, it is crimped with a 12731 collar clamp. Part sells for less than three bucks but the pneumatic clamp tool is probably six hundred.

    Anybody know what this is?

    I had something similar on a boat years ago. The actual rod holders slipped into them and the star shape let you change the angle depending how you placed them in. Not exactly the same as both the bases and the holders were plastic but the same idea.
