Plumber here today putting in a new water heater. Old one leaking. I had to sign acceptance of the quote. "What's the date?" "September 4 - my dad's birthday. 50 today. Man he's getting old."

(from a news story quoted by LJ in another thread)Trump did not have any public events Monday. He briefly exited the White House to a waiting motorcade, but then went back inside without going anywhere.
People who are wrong are just as sure they're right as people who are right. The only difference is, they're wrong.

Strap wrenches are a more general form of oil filter wrenches and quite handy to tighten up or take apart varying-sized largish round things. Adaptable to many diameters so one can replace several sizes of filter wrenches.
Strap wrenches, when you need one you really really need one.

build one with a steel chain instead of a plastic strap, and you can really grab stuff, even irregular shapes.
