As an ex truck driver, coils like those mentioned were not covered, as they would be taken to the buyers factory for final processing, they would be offloaded into a open storage area till required, anything from 2/3 days to possibly months, depending on orders recieved and the manufacturing rate for whatever they produced.Truckers would have to tarp those!
Terry, sorry to hear of your stuff getting zapped. Would a renters insurance policy help here??
STOP<STOP & STOP! You're killing me here.On a motorway near us there is an ‘American’ restaurant I had this with a tomato sauce maybe Heinz and French’s mustard, it was tasty.
I have an issue with chicken places as when I was younger my dad was friendly with the health department and those big fat fryers had a bad habit of getting kamikaze rats, and the health department would warn the other departments, so I inspect my ‘chicken’ carefully. I also know if a burger place e.g MacDonalds had icecream milkshakes off the menu it was usually because the machine was mouldy, so I love them but again view them suspiciously and have had a bad tummy afterwards.
I make homemade milkshakes with real fruit,bananas a favourite, but since the diet began last year, they are harder to justify, have just found a nice icecream recipe which I plan to rest.
I used to eat burgers in buns, but a homemade burger or two and fried onions and/or mushrooms plus French’s mustard and heinz tomato sauce is way yummier.
KFC is dodgy,but I have eaten it many times over the years and enjoy it, yum yum, fries are rubbish,and I used to buy the bbq ribs which disappeared from the Uk donkeys years ago.
I have showed this picture several times, but it is worth a repeat the best desserts I have ever seen or tasted, I seriously doubt you have had better,fortunately or unfortunately this place is over a hundred miles from me, or I would be the size of a pregnant porker…grins….View attachment 149527View attachment 149528View attachment 149529View attachment 149530View attachment 149531View attachment 149532View attachment 149533View attachment 149534View attachment 149535View attachment 149536

Simple thing is to cut a1/2 inch piece from a steel tin can about 2 inches long; double it over with pliers.I can't figure out where to go to start a new thread.

I was an Mantua repairman and have this to say. Above all things, DO NOT use any metal to make a draw bar. They are available on ebaySimple thing is to cut a1/2 inch piece from a steel tin can about 2 inches long; double it over with pliers.
Use the old draw bar as a pattern to cut out another bar, drill your holes and screw in the new bar into place.
Takes less time than ordering from the internet.
Willie, that worked out great!Seven hours with the plumber and his partner/wife. Turned out to be a more complex job, including them digging a 18" x 36" x 24" deep hole and cutting the sewer line for another clean out port. Apparently my hydro-jetting just jammed everything in one end of the line and then stalled, which I mistook for having cleaned it out. The "big snake" just wasn't long enough. They were able to snake backwards from the old cleanout to the bathrooms OK. So I came out OK, $650 for seven hours of Sunday work (two people) when I only called him at 5:00 pm Saturday!!! He knows that I pay cash so I get special service. I like this guy.
