actually, you can skip the freezer and just wrap it in a bag. I use saran wrap

Cooking breakfast
Mom's method:
get out a bowl, an egg, and a knife. Whack the egg with the back of the knife to crack it, put the egg guts in the bowl. Beat them with a fork. Pour into a skillet. Stir with a spatula until cooked. Place them on a plate and serve.
My method:
Pound the egg on the side of the skillet and dump in the guts. Whip it up with a fork. When it's done, throw the fork in the sink, get a clean one. Put skillet and clean fork on the table - it's served.

Mom's method leaves you with a bowl, a knife, a fork, a skillet, a spatula, a plate, and another fork to wash.
My method - two forks and a skillet.

Yeah Jake, YOU can skip the freezer. You're in Nova Scotia, I've seen how cold it gets.

Way back in the day I've done a similar thing by writing the address and room number on our arms with a sharpie. One person in our group got lost and just rolled up his sleeve and showed it to a cab driver - it was a life saver.


My tip: When packing a cooler, freeze a couple of Gatoraid bottles the night before and stick them in a bottom. Keeps your beer cold and at the end of the day you can rehydrate.

1:1 white vinegar:IPA used to prevent swimmer's ear for my kids. A few drops in each ear after swimming.

wrap it and stick it on the windowsill, better wire it down to a hook too

I like the frozen gallon jug, don't fill it too full, will give long lasting cold, days even in a good ice chest if you don't open it much.

One July 4th my wife made about 4 gallons of lemon drops(vodka lemonade) in one of those big water coolers you see hanging off the side of trucks for work crews. We tossed a few frozen gallon jugs in there and had ice cold cocktails all day. More than a few were passed out before the fireworks. Did not taste like much, was really cold coming out of the spigot, so it did not make the ice in your cup melt very fast. Hot summer day on Lake Conroe, you knock 'em back pretty quick. I stuck to beer, so I was okay.

We were directly across the lake from the island they used to launch the fireworks. Grass was pretty nice, because I had actually been watering it for the last few weeks of june. Area that was perhaps 500 yards along the bulkead, a very large cottonwood where it jutted out, flanked by a pair of smaller ones, with piney woods on the other side of the abandoned road that ran behind a row of condos that became our beach at the end of the bulkhead. An excellent time was had by all.

We all took off about half an hour after they set the island on fire and the smoke blew across. It worked out okay, we took some boats over to Del Lago, where the wife's friend from HS managed the resort's main bar. Naturally, on a lake 4th of July weekend, she was woeking. Glad I was not driving.

Hah! I am worse than Paul on the thread derail thing

I also use Saran Wrap to wrap brushes and rollers. Don't know about oil based paint but water based paints will start mildewing under the saran wrap after a couple of days (in this part of the world anyway) if not put in the freezer.

Very salty water or a dip in the ocean will take the pain out of a bee sting

So, one day I'm replacing the Fork Seals on a m/c and need a really big hex head (Allen) wrench....Like 17 or 19mm......I don't have one, no one in town sells one....

I find a really tall "Castle Nut" in my collection of old nuts/bolts....Fits the recess and sticks up far enough to get a box end or socket on......Keep it in my tool box now.

Or possibly a coupling nut. I have one of those that fits my 928 gearbox drain.

Hah, Tobra! Not gonna happen!
