Going to do my front seal on the G8 tomorrow, So I needed a 250lb/ft torque wrench as my old Crapsman digitork shit the bed awhile back. SO I stopped in at Harbor Freight today;

Picked up this Icon 1/2" drive 50 - 250 lb/ft torque wrench and then figured WTF, pick up a breaker bar. This is a Pittsburgh 25" 1/2" breaker.

Another Vinyl album just came in the mail. One of my favorites. It’s a bunch of hardcore guys playing mariachi music. It is weird at first but trust me, it grows on you. If anybody is interested I have a digital download token I can PM you.
Great artwork and beautiful Smoked-clear vinyl.

Me and the wife saw them live when they opened for clutch a couple of years ago. We were impressed and have them in a couple different playlists.

Previous owners didn’t do shit to maintain the yard, let alone the house.

Just purchased a year of service for interior / exterior insect treatment.

Last year being our first year we notice 3 wasp / yellow jacket nests in the exterior vents / roof line (not visible, but saw them coming and going). A shit ton of exterior spiders, ticks, ants other insects.

Inside the house, a lot of spiders and ants.

Figured I would get the service for a year, then take over myself.

We do that now too. No more ants and spiders...

We did have a wasp problem going in under the shingles right by our gutter by the back door. I'm of the mindset that if it flies and stings, it dies. :D So about 10:30 pm one night when I figured they'd all be snoring away, I got up there, and emptied a can of foaming raid in... They must've been light sleepers because I look down and there are 3 of them in my right forearm...

So yea, fuck that, I let ecoshield torch their asses.

If you recall, my passenger side split at the converter on the Caddy a year or two ago. I replaced it with a right side Magnaflow unit (like this one). Well late last season, I started hearing "puffing" noise from the manifold on the drivers side. Sure as shit when I got under it, you could feel where it split at the converter on that side. So I ordered this last week, it arrived yesterday.

New Dyson vacuum to match my toddlers. I punched myself in the face last weekend when I went to pick up the old Bissel and the rivet holding the handle on broke, that combined with horrible suction made it an easy reason to get a new one.

I’ve got the Animal, bought it a few years ago as a Black Friday deal. Came with three accessories and three additional. The furniture one with the spinners works great.

There are two things I don’t like about it. No lights on the front, and the ride height is just lower than a kibble of cat food, so often it’ll just push the food around on the hard floors.

Well I’ll be damned! This Dyson is impressive as hell. Hardwood floors are super clean and the carpeting is so clean it actually feels better to walk on. Plus it’s way lighter than the Bissel Pet hair Eraser we had and my wife can carry it without hurting herself and hopefully won’t smash this one into the drywall while carrying it.
Gonna have to get used to the shorter cord but I only spent $90 of my own money on it thanks to the gift cards I had.
