    Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze. St. Louis decided to stop playing after the first. Second period shots: 18-3 for Boston. What in the actual fuck, St. Louis?

    Work slowly, use gloves and long sleeves and long pants. Spray it with round up daily for about a week, then clear everything down to the soil. Till the soil, then spray it daily for about a week with round up. That will take care of it. Alternatively, and more simply, if it is possible, spray...

    I want a CnC machine but I'm not willing to pay for one. It's not easy being cheap.

    That should definitely stay toasty in winter! You can usually rent a truck from Menards for pretty minimal cost - something like $20 for the first 75 minutes. They'll load it at the store for you, too. All you have to do is drive it home, unload, and take the truck back. Then you can do it at...

    Alternatively, you could just say something slightly more positive like "I'm sorry, I can't come with you to (thing), I have to mow the lawn and take care of a few things around the house I haven't been able to get to." She can't program every hour, no matter how good the sex it right now.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    When I was about 12 a friend and I found a whole box of porno magazines someone threw into a ditch near our houses. We had a tree fort that was pretty sweet - water tight and private. Those magazines were up there for a long time. I have no recollection of what kind of mag or who was in them.

    I absolutely loved what I did, but I don't work a lot anymore, so maybe that's part of it. Picard or Sisko?

    I still bet it scratches like crazy. Butcher block should be natural. That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it.

    Dude, much respect. I've made a lot of furniture, and I use power tools whenever possible. I have the complete array, so the curved apron pieces look like a cinch to me - draw the line, use the band saw, do some sanding. Getting those that consistent by hand is fantastic work! I'm in the final...

    That's lovely. Do you biscuit join the top pieces? How do you get such a consistent taper on the legs?

    I would never use polyurethane on countertops because it would mark up so much. Any knife nick, any hot pot, anything would damage the finish. I don't care about the not food safe stuff, I just think it wouldn't be as durable as many other options.

    By all accounts butcher block is the best surface for avoiding bacteria. Wipe it down with simple wet cloth, no issues.

    I shopped online and found a place near me that had really good prices. I had to get two pieces and put them together to get what I wanted, but it ended up being around $360 (plus my time) for a 48 x 78 inch butcher block countertop for my island. One thing I can say for absolute sure, don't...

    Tomorrow morning a friend of mine will die. He had complications with his heart while having a routine surgery on his foot. He never came out of it, and there is now no path to recovery possible.

    Yeah, I've been riding for about a month. On and off. I have heated grips and a good suit, so the cold doesn't bother me, I've been out while it's in the 30s, but when it's sloppy and slippery I can't go out. Too much snow, frost, and rain for my taste this time of year. Supposed to go on a...
