Today we have a twofer but first, one more time please – duct tape has a 1,001 uses but using them on ducts isn’t one of them. The first one is hilarious not only because they actually used the correct tape for part of this contraption but the contraption itself & of course the duct […]
Wacky Weds: Next Level 3 R’s
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle or is it just another person’s junk is another person’s treasure? If you think this is good, you ought to see the rest of this truck.
Wacky Weds: Can the directions be any clearer?

Wacky Weds: Belt & Suspenders
While I am a big fan of belt & suspenders in many things, this one has got to take the cake… Yep, that is a baby safe plug being used in a Tamper Resistant outlet. Here is a closer look in case you don’t believe me… Yeah just a little overkill.

Should my next vehicle be gas, diesel, or how about electric? Up until a year… ok, maybe even a few years ago, most “normal” people wouldn’t have really considered that last one even as an option. Now that they are becoming more of a legitimate choice that will work for many, the times have changed […]
