Cute and seems to be a decent singer unless she's got some sort of auto-tune thing going on.

I've seen it on a couple of Fordsons and a model T with bearings that were worn to the point that the adjusting shims were gone.

I'm new here and couldn't find a place to introduce myself, typically good etiquette when joining a new forum.

I just tried the embed code from a right click on a YT short but it doesn't work in my forum, but then our software is older (vB 4.2.5).

My late father worked in an engine rebuilding facility in Detroit in the late '40s as a young man, and he saw exactly that in some older engines he worked on.

I've seen several videos with similar discoveries. Many are titled "I was today years old when I discovered...." In some cases it's true, and in other cases it's ONLY true for some products/items. I find this sort of stuff interesting.

I love the Canadian "no way" guy. He reminds me of Letterkenny. I think I mostly see him on Faceplant where his language isn't bleeped like it is on YT.

That makes it a lot easier when installing a double oven, removing two doors.

Had a friend in college that got over-anxious throwing back a shot of flaming 151 rum and it splashed all over his face. No burns...a lot of laughs.

Spend a few hours on that mental crack last night:
-We wanted to discuss fast food and how they compare. Over and over and over.
-Cute teenage personality with boppy music
-Here is yet another useless cool gadget available from Amazon
-I'm cooking this 40lb slab of prime meat for myself a little differently on the $100 grill.
-Look everyone, I found a a desk in the dumpster and rehabbed it like new with just a little work.
-Panning for gold in the wilderness
-Amazing animal agility
