    I am drilling a drainage hole into a ceramic flower pot. This has to be done slowly and patiently or you will break it. If on the other hand, you don’t drill the hole, but do plant something in it, your plant will die.

    I was giving a Nissan Pathfinder with some issues. This mornings chore is to drill out the brackets (all of the screws broke on removal) and replace both lower trailing arms. I'm going to remove the driveshaft (transfer case yoke is bent from the trailing arms breaking). Lof of rust on the drums, so I'm thinking they need replacing. The fun never ends.

    I finally got through the bottom of that flower pot. Once I saw that there was a small opening, i realized that it was best to go to a smaller drill bit. When that one got all the way through to the inside of the pot, I moved up to progressively bigger bits. I'm done with the 1/2 inch bit. That's as big as I plan to go.

    Let me guess?

    1. Do not cut the wire
    2. Do not cut the bench
    3. Do not cut you


    Close?

    I got past that and actually cut a board. I got the cordless saw and a drill, that came as a set, for free, to evaluate. I already know how to use a drill.

    Broke out the Husqvarna chainsaw, and cut up several branches, that I had trimmed off a tree. Now I have some firepit wood, when the weather cools down.

    Remember these? Or are you too young to have had then?
    These things were great. A 6/8 pack of these Miller pony size in a cooler covered in ice, 2-3 +/- Slim Jims, and a "drive in" movie theater!

    Thank you veddy much, kind Sir...
    That is a lovely blast from the past....A REAL Sports Car of the Roadster variety... And this one is a lovely example of the breed...But these should come with a radar detector as standart......If I had one without....they would put me under the jail

    It has an inline 6, and is quite capable on the small country roads it was designed for. At my point in life I just like taking it out and touring with the top down. I belong to a Triumph Club and we have many joint trips we organize. It’s a lot of fun!

    Enjoy your shaves,

    Jeff
