D'OH moments--or why did it take me so long to think of that?
ohiofarmer posted a topic in non tractor related discussion
In addition to being addicted to WH tractors, I am addicted to this forum. Since it is a bit slow on tractors right now, maybe it is time to make a bit of fun at ourselves. Sometimes, we have been doing stuff for years and out of inspiration or necessity, we come up with a quick solution to a problem that we need to share with others. It can be WH related or not. I will give you a quick one or two you can use right away as an example. Do you always lose the little red tube thingys that come on carb cleaner aerosol cans? You can look on the internet and buy all kinds of pricey stuff to maintain them, but this works a treat. Save that coffee stir straw from Lowes and tape it to the can! put a few dents in the coffee straw with a fingernail, and I guarantee you that the red straw you need to direct the spray will not fall out of your free "aerosol directed spray straw device retainer" Or I guess that you could buy a patented device like this one----Read the entire patent {i dare you] https://www.google.com/patents/US6412671 I used to have to borrow red tubes from new cans of cleaner because so many got lost. Now I am gaining the tubes as I empty the cans. Utility knives are great things to have around, but the tips go dull in a hurry when cutting roof shingles. You could grind the tip off a bit on the dull side of the blade to expose a fresh tip, but that is not easy up on a roof. Just put the tip in your claw hammer or a little pliers that you carry and snap a bit of the blade off. Be careful not to put an eye out when snapping off blades
