    NEW 2022 gas prices

    Think gassed my truck once in March. Need to fill up @ some point next week. Should be down in the $2.75 area by then. Although only using maybe 20 gallons month isn't a big strain on the walnuts.

    Darlington Raceway #1 Pre-Race Thread

    My 5 y/o TCL Roku TV is wearing on my nerve. The software is getting slower & slower. Done complete reset but didn't see much change. Bought a Roku box, plugged in side and while can use, end up with too many remotes that want to control every TV in 3 counties. Go to Amazon and it lags so bad...

    So those that don't get me...I was raised on this kind of humor. Love it!

    Disregard last transmission. A technical glitch introduced alternative facts into a well planned mission. Since adding lower chord to rafter, would have to cut a 3" wide slot in old roof to set in place. I'm estimating thirdish 3" cut would result in the "cutter" being ingested into the bowels...

    Just set that one up, clamped, to look at it. Even managed to stand up on the platform. Next is shorten and add lower chord/framing/siding to end one. Once get the end up won't feel like gonna fall off so bad. Will likely move the other one to middleish position. Really need to climb on old roof...

    Cut 7 inches off. The rafter. Now have to do it eleven more times. Wish I could train the carpenter bees to do something other than drill holes in my pretty new wood. Best wood had in couple years.

    You tried Lipo Flavonoid? I take 3 pills in morning. Cuts it by 70%. Not perfect but something. The bottle wants you to take it 3 times day. Had a rec to take 3 twice day for 3-4 days and seen what happened. Mine was better after two days. Settled on 3 pills in morning. Just 3 total daily. More...

    Purchased 16 Spruce twelve foot 2x4. $133 buckaroonies! 12 for rafter chord/loft. Rest for miscellaneous crap. Cut 24ish inches off 12 of them, now 119.5, to fit framing width of shed. Will use the cut-off 24 inchers for blocking or toothpicks. Maybe hourish of werk and I'm killed. Only way this...

    Cable cutters, rejoice

    I'm finding my lack of interest in the sport easier & easier to accept. Have to search every weekend to find where the coverage will be from. I turn it on, mute, go about my business. Not sure why I bother at all.

    Either shorten the lower rafter 6ish inches (makes truss fit a 10 foot span/they are now 7ish inches wider span) with a 10 or 12 foot lower chord OR throw it all away and build complete new regular truss. Unfortunately neither of those options will put hair on my sack. Today was a really bad...

    Hmmm? Couple angle braces then a block (pulley) at peak pull the rest up? I can't properly express my fear level. Have an 8x8 foot surface and can NOT stand straight up on it. Soooo frustrating. Planned to use the 2x8's as top cap...after week or so on front porch they look like barrel staves...

    Woke up with back complaining. Got the OSB and one rafter precariously set. Not attached. Still think having 2x8 top plates is way to go.

    Tomorrow toss the 3/4 OSB on and see if can reach. I'd think so. Those 2x8 are way heavier than I expected. Had to figure out a way to prop both ends up close to where I wanted it so only had to lift inch and screw it tight. Might pop a few nails in just to cover my arse.

    Got nothing done but stirring this septic tank. Back went full Roberto Duran. No Mas! At least now know how/what will do. Need to glue/screw wedges on 4 more truss and add gussets. String 2x8's across framing and lay OSB on. Be loft'ish. Couple or 10 screws so nothing moves. If get those 4 or 5...

    Found something I can do. Housecleaning. It finally occurred to me, have four 14 foot 2x8. Run them across structure and toss 3/4" OSB on for a scaffolding of sorts. So obvious. Maybe later today or next week?

    If you go to the comments sure has bunch of people mad. Not at Musk/tRump but at Demoncrats for telling the truth.
