You know, I always wondered if Ron only showers once a year because he has some shampoo that says it'll keep dandruff out for up to 1 year.

Well if I can run an analysis that proves such a shampoo exists, I would!!

That's too bad. I thought "what's good for the Robot is good for the Rocket"

On sale at Crappy till this Thursday midnight I reckon (a little late posting this).  $169.99 regular 299.99.  On the surface appears great.   3 ton, dual pistons and grease fitting to boot.

That's not viscous enough for the amount of chin rubbing Ron does on a daily basis!

I bought this jack from Costco a few weeks ago:

Regular price, similar spec.

[ArticSteve]

That jack of yours is actually very similar to what I use at home.  For most ppl it's a much better buy than what I just bought.  Your unit can be moved to other locations plus it has a lower profile.  This crappy tire unit, all steel, is too heavy to cart around.  It's never leaving that building it is in now.   Hopefully it has quality pump seals.

Princess Auto located beside Crappy had nothing.  I was seeking a heavy duty floor jacket primarily for lifting tractor wheels.

Princess auto has some semi Aluminium one probably close to that price and way lighter.


Soooo looking for a freezer in the basement... old style chest or a stand up one?

Standups cost i bit more than similarly sized chest freezers but ease of access its worth it imho. Ymmv.

Well, I did it.  Just ordered 2x Oculus Quest 2's.  They should be here December 14th.

Check Out this video by Technology Connections on why a chest freezer is quite a bit more efficient than a stand-up freezer.

It probably won't affect your buying decision - a stand up freezer really is more convenient - it's what we have in our basement.

oops.  I meant why a chest freezer is more efficient than a stand-up freezer

I'm going to push to get an upright next time. We just seem to use the stuff in the top third of our chest freezer, two much of a jenga puzzle to get at much below
