Any handyman has to have a few essential tools to be able to fix the small things that keep popping up around the house. If you had to start a tool box these are the simple things you need to start with.
1. Hammer
2. Plyers
3. Set of wrenches
4. Duct Tape
5. Electrical Tape
6. Set of mixed screw drivers, flat heads and Phillips heads
7. WD-40
8. Tape measure
If you need more than that and you are pretty clueless call someone or it will cost you more than you make in a week to fix your mess ups.
UpDATED to add Flashlight and a Knife as suggested in the comments thanks guys Jerry
June means summer is settling in hard and the weather gets hot, the rains stop - unless hurricane related, and the bugs come out at dusk.
The mosquitos around here are getting thick - you can’t hardly walk out the fornt door and get to the car without getting swarmed. I hear that they have found cases of west Nile Virus in this area, due to all the mosquitos. Don’t want any of that.
I think it’s time to go buy a couple of the electric bug zappers and run them at night to clear out some of those pesky bugs.
Stopped by the Bass Pro Shops to pick up a new rod. Have high hopes of going fly fishing once or twice this summer, to get back some of the skill before Labor Day. We’ll be in Jackson Hole again to camp and fish and drink beer all weekend.
Came across a nice little propane grill by Coleman. It has folding legs on wheels, good double burners and built in thermostat, and a nice large cooking surface area. Only a little over $100 and I couldn’t resist. Brought it home with me and I’ll be grilling a steak on it tomorrow, to break it in.
Did you know:
- Cereal was invented when colonial housewives started serving up popcorn with sugar and cream for breakfast.
- The average American eats 160 bowls of cereal each year.
- The first ready-to-eat breakfast cereal was invented in 1863 by James C. Jackson. It was a form of whole grain flour dough baked into dry leaves, broken into chunks and baked again, and then ground into still smaller chunks.
- Breakfast cereal is the third most popular item sold in grocery stores after carbonated beverages and milk.
These facts are from the American Cereal Council’s website.
I try to eat a bowl of cereal with fruit at least 3 or 4 times a week. I’m not a big fan of pancakes or waffles, but I do love a big Sunday brunch.
This morning I had a breakfast burrito from Sonic, but that is a rare treat. How about you? Leave me a comment and share what you had for breakfast this morning.
