Went to the grocery after church this morning. Got some cube stew meat, beat the snot out of it and sauteed it up for a makeshift philly sort of thing. It didn't work as well as I had hoped. Too much gristle...
Tried debarking still quite green ash limbs to help them dry up so I can make some walking sticks / canes... Easy, simple, brain dead projects that are therapuetic..., and my sciatica is killing me so there is function as well...
FWIW, I have watched the various jack stand reviews and tests, as many as I could find. From what I have seen of the options available the best / safest on the market now are the Harbor Freight Daytona 3 and 6 ton, very little deflection and nicely fitting ratchets, as long as you find ones that are made level, There are some with one long leg / foot due to a flub, those were pulled to my knowledge, and Eastwood 3 and 6 ton. Which I don't know of a local vendor...
And no, the aluminum jack stands weren't even something I would give 1/4 of a look at. That is just scary...
Shot footage for some basic maintenance skills videos I am doing in an effort to share knowledge we may take for granted, but a widow suddenly needing to do thigs for herself, or a widower that relied on his wife to do traditionally masculine things, no longer has that help, First up on the list by a LARGE margin of request, checking fluids on a car.
There are people with drivers licenses that do not know how to check their own oil.. We have an issue with our education system...
capncarl I would LOVE to know why you had a car shell on its side being supported by a jack stand and were lifting it with an engine hoist. Nothing about that order of operations sounds like it was planned for the longevity of that car, or you... Definately an underwear fillilng moment.
