Wears, wares, and where's are also frequently misused and confused.

Filmed-over eyes on the fish in the bucket is a good indication they need to be put on ice pretty soon.

Looks great. Looks like a fun, low stress build too. I remember seeing drag strip Cobras that had been put together from bits after the cars got pretty cheap, some with solid rear ends because the IRS wasn't the best for drag-race reliability. Those wider rear tires made me think of that immediately. Nice job building something cool from leftovers.

I love them too, but this summer has been one of the wettest I can remember. The three suburban crops that define life in the South in summer...mold, mildew, and mosquitos...are doing really, really well.

Came home early to mow my lawn and was greeted by a popup thunderstorm. Drat.

Heads are not always the repositories of brains.

Words can never hurt me and are often best dealt with using sarcasm, but if somebody comes at me with sticks and stones, I'll retaliate in kind.

Just for you. Feel better now?

Apostrophes must be harder than fractions, judging from the frequency they're misused.

Dog ends (the unsmoked end of a cigarette) were often collected for recycling during economic hard times (like the Depression and after WW II in Europe); the tobacco was rolled out, mixed, and re-rolled using fresh papers, into full size smokes.

Knuckles from pigs are pretty tasty prepared right, assuming you can get past what they're called.

Yup, definitely likin' that.

OK. So sue me. I usually don't keep up with celeb deaths, neither read nor post obits, especially about sports figures, so I missed it.

Excellent. Great to see motivated and skilled people like you showing more of what's possible with this tech.

Magazine articles can be great sources of information, but anyone who's been paying attention over the last few decades will have seen the amount and quality of text decline markedly, as the written (or printed) word has been largely replaced by "instructional" videos of often dubious value.

"Soup to nuts" is an idiomatic expression that means everything in a process, from beginning to end; it is of course in reference to the courses of a meal, starting with soup and ending after dessert with nuts.

Try reading the game rules.

Nice job ruining the game. Try reading the rules next time.

Makers of kits are like the vast majority of goods manufacturers, preferring to safely exploit a known customer base with mildly "improved" existing product, rather than risk investing heavily in something new that may not generate a profitable return.

Mine the internet for nuggets of wisdom.

Am I, therefore think I?

Ah, but google is always listening.

Creative interpretation of the rules tends to disorganize the resulting content.

There was a time Optima was pretty much the "gold standard" for aftermarket batteries, but there's been a debate stemming from rather a lot of problems with them over the years, as to whether they're really good or not. As with most things, there's a lot of baloney interspersed with a few facts. Many of the problems seem to be directly related to incorrect charging of deeply discharged batteries, where the batteries have been run almost flat in cars with inoperative charging systems, but there are a significant number of other failures reported in correctly functioning charging systems. I've returned to using high-performance old-school lead-acid batteries for street-driven vehicles, as they seem to work and last very well if high-quality units are purchased and reasonably maintained, and don't usually need special charging procedures if they're deeply discharged. For competition vehicles that have a possibility of becoming inverted, I'll still specify AGM (absorbed glass mat) batteries, as there's no issue of spilling acid to compound rollover or high speed collision dangers.
