Quote HistoryQuoted: Also tour tailpipe is always on the fill side on American cars Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Whiskey makes everything better...  No but seriously idk why but I never knew this that the little arrow on your dash next to your gas gauge tells you which side your gas tank is on. Really helps when I'm driving some of our work vehicles or someone elses car. Also tour tailpipe is always on the fill side on American cars You do know that some vehicles have 2 tail pipes? |

Get a bundle of longish zip ties to keep handy for clearing hair clogs. Cut little slivers down the sides with a razor blade and run the zip tie down the drain, pull out clumps. Cheap and disposable tool for clearing hair clogs.

When I make tacos, I put a tortilla down on the plate first, then tacos on top of that. Everything that falls out of the tacos, lands on the tortilla and you just wrap it up and eat it.

 Use ball bungees to store your wrapped ratchet straps, and use them again to secure the excess tail when the strap is in use. Leave the heavy end of the strap on the outside of the roll so you can hold it in your hand as you unfurl the mofo, and it doesn’t damage anything on the far side of your truck or trailer. Bonus: get flat hooks on your straps and orient them as shown so the hook cannot fall off if the strap somehow loses tension in transit. |

One laundry basket for each family member, plus one more only for towels/sheets.
Each member does a load of their laundry when their basket is full. No more sorting clothes on the couch for an hour. Clothes go straight from dryer to each person's dresser/closet. 5 people in the family -- saves a ton of time, eliminates a chore we all hate (sorting laundry), and if you "have nothing to wear" it's your own damn fault!! Rack in the garage holds the baskets. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I keep about 100 feet of extension cord wound up in a 5 gallon bucket. Leave about 3 feet of the male end hanging out of the bucket, then coil the remaining cord inside the bucket. Drop the male end, inside. When you need to use, plug in the male end, grab the female end and pull out however much you need. When finished, coil everything back up. It stays nice, neat, and tangle free. And you only have to pull out to the length you need. You also have a bucket to throw a few odd hand tools in. Works great for me. Just watch and make sure you don't melt the cord! Ran a couple of computers off of only a 30 footer coiled up and it got too hot to touch with bare hands. |

Where are the shovels? That isn't the point of hooker holes. It reduces your exposure with the body. If you're digging a hole in the woods and a cop finds you they are going to look for a body. If you don't have one yet you are just a crazy guy digging holes. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I used to put a spare key behind my license plate, but I ran one of the screws through the hole. No chance of it coming loose that way. A buddy of mine wrapped his key in a ziplock bag, then used electrical tape and taped it to a part of the suspension on his car (wrapped to the point it was all black and you couldn't tell what it was). All you need is a knife to cut it free and it was accessible by just reaching under the car. |

For the kid's clothes, it doesn't matter, they have almost nothing white except my son's socks. My clothes, I separate whites and darks -- whites get bleach every now and then too. For the wife's clothes, not my problem, she can do what she wants. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Use an instant pot - so much quicker for so many things you'd otherwise do on a stove, in an oven, in a crock pot, or in a steamer. Can also sous-vide or keep things hot and covered at a controlled temp for 12+ hours if you want. Mine's an air-fryer too, so it makes awesome baked potatoes in about 1/2hr. 20 mins pressure cook, followed by six minutes a side in the air fryer at 400 with a light brushing of oil or butter to crisp them up. Ive used an IP for this but need to do the Fryer trick. |

I use H.E.B. Curbside for groceries, I work 12 to 14 hrs a day, and don't like shopping afterwards. I can shop until I need groceries, so for days, I see my total before I buy, and make sure I add rhings I'm running out of before I do. It's free in my city now, thanks to covid, no more $5 change for it.
