@flash sorry didn’t see mine would be post 81 and flip to a new page. In case it wasn’t clear, yes I got my first flu shot, no, I don’t think it should be mandatory, but I also wouldn’t protest if it became mandatory for my work (or for school or whatever).

Flu? No. But I’m also not against the idea, and I’d get it if my employer or workplace (distinct entities) required it. I did need the Covid shots to keep working, and I was glad for that.

Lol I went to see Roger Waters back in 83 or 84, it was the first concert I’d been to that the face value on good seats was over 20 bucks! $21, plus $5 to a friend’s scalper mom for third row on the floor. Clapton was his guitarist! I laugh now, finding out what total dicks both of them are.

It’s taken me years to wean my wife off of well-done steak, but maybe that’s because she grew up in a family that was careful with money and they never bought Prime cuts. I never don’t buy Prime (or Canada AAA) or better. Nevertheless, she was skeptical when I said I’d be doing steaks SV… now...

Got my first flu shot last month (not counting the mass H1N1 vax campaign in 2009), the quadrivalent jab that’s being hailed as the most effective seasonal vax in decades. Got it at the same time as my fifth Covid shot (bivalent Pfizer), ZERO side effects from either.

I still have huge stacks of TRC Eagle edgeless MFs and not only are they still fantastic after ten years, I have yet to find anything that comes close in price/performance among polishing or buffing cloths.

My garage doesn’t tend to go below 50° in the winter and everything stays in there with no issues, but I shovelled a path to the shed yesterday to go put something in it, and I found that I had forgotten a few liquid gardening and pool products in there and the bottles were all bloated and two...

The one-shoulder trick is the only way this works for me! The 16 inches we’ve received so far since Thursday night is wet and heavy, though. A good brush or snow joe broom is the only thing that’ll move this crap.

Lol yeah. We got heavy stuff here today, but luckily both cars are indoors! But the problem with using my backpack blower is that it doesn’t flex enough to really do the roof properly so even on a small car or sedan I have to stand on the step ladder like you. Just easier to get the Snow Joe...

Cheers, John. I’m sorry for your loss.

First big snow (8-14”) of the season forecast for tonight so I scrambled to clean out all the siht from my side that had been accumulating over the last few years as my old sihtboxes kept getting older and sihttier and I didn’t care about leaving them outdoors. Lots left to do, but at least...

HF Daytona SnapOn-knockoff 3-ton low profile jack and HF Esco/Schwaben-knockoff stands, and recently got a QuickJack 5000TL on sale. I also ordered 3x4x6 rubber Rotary lift blocks for the QJ from carliftparts.com. A lot more confidence-inspiring than the tiny QJ blocks, and way quicker to set up...

UGH. Not really detailing related, but today I went to this city’s BMW authorized collision centre to start the claim process for what I can only call a hit-and-run. I honestly can’t say when it happened, but I would’ve heard a rock hitting my hood this hard. Alas, my four month old, 2500 mile...

Still a lot of mess to clean up to get room on my side so I can park my car indoors before this season’s first big snowstorm on Friday…

Yes I believe so, but I get them when I order other CarPro stuff from Corey, a 10-pack for like $25 or so.

100% this. I’m not saying I haven’t fallen for new product hype and natural curiosity, just like upgraditis. But I’ve spent what seems like weeks trying to declutter my garage, basement, and shed, and realized I can accept that I’ve learned — and adapted to — the quirks and characteristics of...

Ceriglass with CarPro glass pads on a PC? That gets out everything but deep nicks and scratches.

Could just be BO. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I wanna heat you like an animal!

I’ll be the outlier then. I’ve almost never been more pleased with a (relatively) cheap product than I am with Corey’s “Streak Free Fast Glass Cleaning Cloths.” I buy the big pack and moisten them with deionized water. I use them all before throwing them in the washer alone with an ounce of...
