Two... two... two funnies for the price of one! You guys need to learn how to do a screen cap. No, I can't teach you. Sorry. When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

This can be really simple, or really complicated, and the results could be good, or bad, & could last forever, or only a year. There's not enough information given, so my first suggestion would be to google "concrete repair" or "asphalt repair" & start researching. Judging by the info I can see here so far, I think a bag or 2 or ready-mix & some adhesion promoter & some sort in a form are all that's needed, but that's just a WAG (wild ass guess).

$5K for an engine?!?! How many decades ago was this? I worked in the business (chassis/suspension/roll cages) until '00. Back in the later 80's, Dave Northrop (if you've followed NHRA prostock the last few years, the name is familiar) was a customer of ours & I did a little work on his Comp car. It was only a V-6 engine. I'm sure the short block cost more than $5K back then. Even in the later 90's bracket racers I know were paying $8-$10K for a 700HP big block Mopar (long block). Believe it or not, the GM/Chevy stuff wasn't really that much less $$ either, you just had a bigger variety of suppliers. Yes, I agree with the spirit of your post: You can drag race, & be competitive, for as little or as much as you want to spend. There have been plenty of bracket champions who win regularly in their family cars. When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

I can't believe there aren't any Scots or Irish who haven't called you out on that yet! You sure it's not Australian/ Kiwi you're thinking of? Yea, REALLY! I'm born & raised in New Jersey. Still live here! I do NOT have that "Neu Yawk" accent either! I can tell the difference between Irish & Scottish easily. They really are NOTHING alike. IMHO, "British" & Australian are more alike than Irish & Scottish, but you Brits would probably disagree (& I wouldn't blame you).

Sounds like an outstanding idea, until you factor in small details such as wind & weather. When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

Surge protectors, unless they are industrial strength, are not going to protect against a lightening strike. There's just way too much energy at play there. Lightening rods! Give the lightening a more desirable path to ground than through the house wiring! I live in the middle of 7 acres of flat field with very few objects higher than the house, & none of them closer than about 100 feet. Had lightening rods installed 3 years ago. Two years ago the house was hit while I was here, & on line! There was a simultaneous FLASH/CRACK/BOOM! The ONLY damage was one surge suppressor lost it's phone line (bypassed it & connected again) in one of the two computers that were online at the time. I'm certain that without the lightening rods, we would have had worse damage that described above. IMHO, they paid for themselves then & there, & they are like a gift that keeps giving because I get a break in the homeowner's insurance too!

I heard my first Scottish accent when I was about 11 years old. It was a new friend's mother. I was hooked. I was smitten (she was built, too). I was in love AND in lust! 40+ years later I can still just sit there & listen to her talk. I don't care what she says, just talk!

Haven't got the faintest idea, but it certainly looks like a "single skin square parachute." Then again, I could just need an optometrist... When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

Friends don't let friends use IE. Download Firefox for him instead. I told him to do this once before, but he didn't do it, so now I'll do it for him!! If you look through the extensions, there's one there that makes Firefox look just like IE, so you could probably install it & he may not ever know the difference. I do think some form of IE is required if you want to get regular operating system upgrades. I also seem to run into a page every couple years that will only work on IE. I got AdBlockPlus up top speed on my GF's computer a couple weeks ago & I think she's been using Firefox almost exclusively since.

Yep. Saw this & laughed out loud. That should about do it, don't you think? When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

Compared to the old K-rations of 30+ years ago, today's MRE's are gourmet meals! Even compared to 10-15 yeas ago they are better. Those "things" we ate back in the early 70's could be described, at best, as tasteless. When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

I'll have to suggest this to my sweetie. She likes hers with Wasabi instead of horseradish. Oh, I generally enjoy your ever changing avatars, but this latest one...

Wow.. That is something I usually only hear after a Boogie Weekend. Also some heathens will add a splash of Vermouth to their Martinis, I am personally of the opinion that you should simply threaten the Martini with the bottle of vermouth however but Fluids should never be allowed to mingle. I remember watching a bartender as he made a Sahara-like martini. First he put rocks in the glass, poured a little vermouth over it, then quickly poured the vermouth back out of the glass (with a strainer), add vodka, etc, etc. I just thought it was creative...

Sushi IS fucking awesome. Compared to dog shit it is! LOL! I'm 55 years old & had sushi for the first time about 3 weeks ago. Guess what? It WASN'T disgusting tasting, feeling, or looking. I even ate the whole meal with chopsticks (another first) & didn't make a fool of myself at all. And yes, I know. I owe . BTW, attachment is NSFW!!!!!

Enjoy Buda during the day & Pest at night (or is it the other way around?)! I have a friend who travels there a couple times a year for business. BTW, if you run across someone selling 6mm or 8mm hemp rope in the market place, PM me! 100 meters would be lovely... When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

Lovely, thanks. Must have had 500 under & un-muffled motorcycles go be the house in the last 2 hours. I'd love to find out where some of these clowns live so I can go over there with a loud car & disturb them at all hours. When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

Smells just like VP 114! I'd be sitting in the Cessna, take a deep breath & say, "Mmmmmm...! Smells like the race track." I'd be in the pits at the drag strip, a car would start, I take deep breath & say, "Mmmmmm...! Smells like the airport." When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

I'm working right down the street from there right now... My great grandparents owned a small storefront a block south on Anderson (speaking of smells, I remember going into the chicken house in the later 50's (the chickens had been gone since just after the war) & that distinctive smell of chicken feathers & blood) & my grandfather had a shoe repair shop a block north on Anderson (it was a pizza shop last time I was there) near the Casino (you should stop for a "Casino Dog" once) for about 45 years. I also remember being at the dedication of the statue in Columbus Park about 50 years ago. When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.
