Nice, you closed it completely until the grips touched? I was able to close the #1.5


I bought the beginner set to go from a trainer to a one to a 15 to two. For some reason I just could not close the 2.5. and I brought it to work and I watched a guy who has not done anything with his hands for probably 15 years. Close it with what looked like zero effort.

I don't know if you want to call it. Shame or envy, but it was a hell of a motivator.

To anyone who is trying to improve their grip strength though I just want to say that rest periods are a huge deal, cuz you can do a lot of tendon damage if you overdo it. It has also made me shake hands like a 90 lb woman :lol:

Buddy of mine had his done at 25 in the marines. Same time my 86 year old grandfather had his done

The costco milk seal.

I can close a captains of crush #3.

I can't open that seal without picking at it or stabbing it with a knife first.

Apparently most of us use way too much laundry detergent.


My washer has this small tray that you put detergent into the tray has a 1x2 oval insert that sits an eighth inch off the bottom. I started using that much.

Honest assessment? Clothes look and feel cleaner

Same for laundry beads. I went to maybe a heaping tsp compared to their half cup rec.

Try using familysearch.org

It is free and completed more than almost any of mine.

I can trace the matrilineal line back to the early 600s.
My son basically got the vaccine schedule from the year I was born

The pediatrician asked what we wanted to give... I told her to skip the Hep and COVID.

I was worried he would have a reaction to the measles one, but he did not. I was only worried because when I got it as a kid.... I GOT THE DAMNED MEASLES

Also excellent fried cheese dipped in caramel.

Which sounds insane...until you eat it.

I like peppermint hot chocolate, pumpkin spice lattés, and I'm very affectionate.

Do you have any idea how hard it is to get the smell of pumpkin spice out of a moustache that would make tom selleck blush?

One thing I will say, go to the local grocery store and buy their tube of breakfast sausage.

You'll want to buy a few tubes before you leave OK.

We always stay near mountain fork up the hill in one of the larger "cabins"

While they claim you can't have a boot full of their bourbon aged beer...you can indeed get a boot.... And a growler. And pour it yourself to the dismay of their Oklahoma sensibilities. :lol:

If you have a decent 4wd vehicle, there are a few nice trails to see around there. There's an awesome overlook above the lake. Do not take any current suv up there besides a wrangler or bronco or 4runner.

My highschool buddy had one of these. It was absolutely bulletproof. One time he got it stuck in a sandbar by the amite river and so he left it there overnight. Then it flooded and the truck was submerged in river water up to the door handles. Several days later after the water had receded he finally got it pulled out of the sand and the truck started right up and he drove it away. I think he ended up putting 300k miles on it before it finally died and he drove it like a bat out of hell too


I've had a few old Japanese 4x4s.

My favorite one had a map pocket above the glove compartment. That pocket had drain holes.

The designers fully expected it would eventually see water at that height.
