Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I've seen some with only three sockets and one pry bar, for hubcaps or a tire iron I guess.
Here's something really weird. I just searched star wrench and all the results are either torx wrenches or 6-point sockets and wrenches. And that's what the text in the pictures call them. That's a first for me. One listing shows 18 pc allen hex torx star wrench key set. Take your pick :lol: |

Also on the CNC tooling I use at work,some of the inserts are attached with star torxed screws. I just bought a new set of star torx keys to take them loose. I got a Drawer full of Allen wrenches Now:uhmk::lol: |
Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I'm so old I forgot they were called star wrenches:lol:

Finished the spoon . No sanding just carving and blade scraping. Still 20 and icy here so no power sanding in the basement. Funny thing two guys rang my doorbell while I was doing it in the basement . They had brought up an 85 inch TV I get to the door one of the guy said in a proud tone “ We made it “ then said in a rather condescending tone “ It was was a little slippery on the walk and deck and you (meaning me)should have cleaned it better" looked him straight in the eye and told him he had the wrong house 190 is the next house . He just about dropped a load in his pants .
Why the hell would I need an 85 inch TV . There’s nothing on that I would care to watch . And when I do the 32 inch is more than big enough. My next attempt I will make a larger spoon and fork |

I spent the day taking care of my wife. She got her Covid booster shot and it messed her up big time. The first one had little to no effect. The second made her a little funky. But this third one was a whole different shooting match. She is delirious. Totally out of it. It makes you wonder what they put in this stuff.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Who knows what is right. But who knows what is anything? The booster made my arm hurt more than the others. But the feller who gave it to me was digging around and it took forever, nothing like the original shots. I think I did get sore in my joints like when I get a could anymore. But I felt that way the last two nights before going to bed.
I took some pieces up to my sandblaster last Friday, the day we got a snow. She and her husband were hospitalized from covid back before the vaccines in May '20. Both had developed pneumonia. She went in worse than him, but he never came home. now she runs the business. Fortunately she was able to be at his side when he died, since she was also hospitalized. He had a stroke which cause severe brain damage. She and her sons decided to have the life support discontinued. Sad story, but what also ties it in is she and I talked for hours. I was telling her I started drinking decafe a few weeks ago, which is working well for me. She tells me she had tried drinking decafe until she found out they use nasty chemicals in the process. I got home and checked into it and yes! They use the main ingredient used in paint stripper to wash the caffeine out! What???!!! That is just crazy. I found a site that lists all the decafe brands and what process they use. Some use a natural process w/o chemicals. I was glad to see mine uses just plain water. I had just bought a second package, too. It's Caribou brand, in case anyone is interested |

My antibodies were/are very likely higher than most though. Covid damned near took me out over Christmas 2020. So, that in itself probably kicked my antibodies up a few notches. Plus, three bags of plasma was part of the treatment. Then add the 2 moderna shots...the booster had no where to go but up. |

I took my 90 lb. German Shepherd to the groomer today. He is a long hair Shepherd and he was getting matted hair that I just couldn't get out. I was worried. I didn't know how he would react. He's a big boy. He can knock me off my feet. But he was fine. He was the life of the party. Running around with the other dogs and making friends. The groomers loved him and they cleaned him up nicely. :) It's funny. All my neighbor's are terrified of him. :lol: |

I had a short-term neighbor that had a shepherd that wasn't a kind dog. He thought is was pretty bad ass. He got thru the fence and jumped Lobo. It was the last thing that dog ever did. Lobo came out with only one bad tear on is left shoulder. Stood over the other dog while it bled out. I left a note on the neighbor's door for when he got home. I told him he needed to get is dog out of my yard before I haul him off. When he got home, he came over and just shook his head. Said if something else didn't kill him first he figured he would have to...at some point. Apologized and hauled his dog off. RIP LOBO. |

Figured before it got into the teens and snowmageden begins I’d heat treat the knife I’m making . Forge worked great I just need to put some sides around the fire pot to make it larger for bigger items. Tempered the blade twice at 400 in the oven . Took a nice edge now when it’s cold I can finish the handle inside .
Flame picture I was heating up the used peanut oil . Smelt like I was frying turkey :metal: |

Then I bought him a 99 cent Frisbee at Rite Aid. He totally ignored it. I guess he wasn't happy that I cheaped out. :lol: |
Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I guess the reason why dogs chew up some things and not others is possibly what some are made of, like mice eat automotive wiring because they say the insulation mix uses soy.

I got together with Jimer 64, GTO Mechanic, and Old Chev 4x4 a bunch of years ago. A guy came over with a crapped out bed that Old Chev wanted to cut the skin off to create quarters for his off road race '69 Blazer. My old Sawzall (De Walt cordless) gave up the ghost on that one. The two parts separated, the screw basses all gave out. We finished the job with one holding the back half operating the trigger while the other manned the front half and did the cutting. We worked in close unison :lol: |
Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Clearly a team effort there K. Big thumbs up. ;)

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I bought another guitar today. Like I need another one. But I liked it and it was a best offer deal. So I threw in a lowball because I need it like another hole in my empty head, And really didn't want to spend too much on another one. I figured that he would turn me down. I kind of hoped he would.
Nope. He didn't even counter offer and now I have 10 guitars. Who needs 10 guitars you may ask? Nobody. That's who. But I now have 10 guitars. I am an idiot. Maybe my ex wives were right. |

gotta flip the pic ... sec Also picked up a couple others but not DeWalt. I think I spent 40 bucks total for almost 1400 bucks retail worth of tools. |
Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Sounds like an inside job :cool:
Looks like you still need about $600 worth of batteries :rolleyes: |

After we redid the display the stuff all the extras get taken to the back and they dept managers price things to move. A few things I wanted didnt make my cut they were already gone. When I got in and saw what was there I just said Ill take everything. There was one 12 volt tool in there that I gave to my honey because I recently bought here a few of the 12 volt things because they are smaller and easier for her to handle. As far as giving a heads up to folks, employees get first shot. There is a pretty big diversity of folks so someone is always there to grab the good deals. We dont make jack for salary, so I consider it a perk to go along with other nice perks we get. |

I got my old man wheels and KC lights on my Jeep. yes... the PS box is bleeding fluid... :rolleyes:
Lights still need to be hooked up, but I have a double DIN radio Kit and rear back up camera too, I'll do that all at the same time. The volume knob and CD player are broken. I'm old school, I believe CD's sound way better than any bluetooth music app I've heard... I bucked the trend and went with slighly larger than stock 235/75's vs 31's. I like the look. |
