Don't mind me, I'm just over here trying to teach my cat basic plumbing repairs.

GM. My tractor (hydrostatic) stopped moving in the middle of snowblowing the driveway yesterday. I am hoping that changing the hydraulic fluid fixes it. It looked kind of foamy.

I am assembling flat pack furniture today. The cat is fixated on my ratchet. The noise it makes must seem rodentlike to him. One piece arrived damaged, so I much to the manufacturer's website to order one. It was just porn, so I called their phone number. It turned out to be a sex line. Amazon gave a generous partial refund, so I'll just glue it.

If you are worried about automatic license plate readers, just move to Alaska. You can leave your plate covered in snow for 4-5 months out of the year. #privacy
