When do you "throw in the towel" on a racing activity? For me, it's when I have to wade through the new lake forming in my garage to get to the car. If anyone has any question about why not to leave **** that is susceptible to water damage on the floor of your garage, let me know. Powdered tile grout and tile mastic is not a good thing to just stuff under a shelf on the floor. When the bag soaks through and the stuff breaks out and starts to block the drain, THATS when it gets fun.

At least I have a bunch of really cool plumbing tools now to add to the pile on the floor. Off to buy some shelving.

Karl, you weren't by any chance driving through Atlanta on Saturday, were you?
--Chris, who thinks that not having hot water is bad, and pipe cutters and propane torches are cool.

 

Bags of grout all over garage floor...dang, now that sounds like a mess.

Not my fault. I was up here busily knocking my (formerly full) oil drain pan off its shelf and pouring oil all over the corner of the garage

 

Assuming they aren't completely full, did you know those float?
Heh. Oil all over the place actually sounds worse. Sorry to hear that.

 

Wow, yuck. Did rain cause the flood and then the grout made it worse?


Andy - who, this weekend bought a 30" cheater bar...errr... steel pipe to go on the end of his 2 foot cheater bar, only to later, crack a Kobalt socket down to the base.

 

i've cracked a bunch of those cheap sockets

I know Kobalt's torque wrench was made by Snap-On.... I guess their sockets ain't.

Actually, Kobalt looks like they just changed manufacturers... I wonder who they are made by now...

 

all the kobalt stuff i've used feels very cheap, and has broken eventually

Hot water heater sprung a leak. No hot water for 2 and a half days.
Cold showers suck.
