Are you are that crazy bastard with the Youtube channel featuring the homemade bump fire shotguns? 46 going on 47, the rest of my family / relations other than a very few on mum's side bald...... me not even CLOSE. Not as thick as it used to to be of course but eh, not complaining at all.

I was admittedly pretty bummed when at the begining of high school, my hair become somewhat curly and became much darker compared to the platinum blond it was before. Me and my mother suspect one of the medications I was on, but I'm not complaining. It went from random chicks complimemting my hair to random drunk chicks sitting in my lap to play with it at parties. In other news, always wear safety glasses. I'm sitting here with one eye jammed shut due to it being dialated after having a piece of rust that was embedded in it dug out. I'm really only pissed that this couldn't have waited 3 weeks to happen so I could have had full insuramce through work. Thankfully the doctor who has seen my mother for years was willing to let me in with no appointment, only charge me what he normally charges for a checkup (The only other place in town that would even tough me without insurance wanted $285 minimum) and gave me the antibiotics for his office's price which is $18 vs $169 at the pharmacy.

Yesterday was... interesting. The bad: the house smells, but not as wretchedly as I expected. It's kindof like bad old dog food. I thought it would be more like road kill in the sun. I guess him being a vegetarian and quite skinny helped. The house is huge and full of strange stuff he built. He was always eccentric and messy, so there's piles of paperwork everywhere and random little machines he made. It's so bizarre. I have to fix the door frame from where the sheriff kicked it in. My FIL had barracaded all the doors with homemade wooden barricades. I now know what a decomposing body does to carpeting. My wife has been in various stages of meltdown all day. From the medications and books we found, it's somewhere between heart problems, prostate problems, or liver problems as to what took him. The good: the house is huge and the neighbor we spoke to said that the property should go for $400-$600K, after fixing. We found all of his account numbers and logons! I won't touch any of it, but at least I can start figuring out who is owed what. Also, gently caress charter. They left 38 out of the 44 messages on his answering machine. He has a safe deposit box, but I'm unsure whether we'll be granted access. The will is very likely in that box. I need to buy an ozone generator because that wierd dog food smell does truly get into everything. I dunno what the legality of removing anything is, but I will try to arrange to have his laptop and desktop transported to houston. All of his research for his patent is on those machines and he was adamant the last time we saw him that we keep track of that stuff. There was also paperwork in his office for a trust. Hopefully we can figure some of this out. It's amazing how big a hole one man can make in other people's lives. The morbid reality of walking through a dead man's house is a heavy burden to bear. We'll be in touch with an estate attorney today after some helpful advice from some nice goons. Today after that I need to fix his door frame and striker plate so the house is somewhat secure.

KozmoNaut posted:It's a very strange feeling, it feels very transgressive, like you're trespassing into something private that should be left alone. Exactly. I felt horrible paging through his old tax returns. I kept expecting to hear *geeeeet ouuuuuuut* whispering from the house. To bring it back to something car-related: the 330 highway up into the forest is a loving riot to drive on. I'm in a little shitbox yaris. It has the benefit of being pretty light so it doesn't feel that pokey with it's 4spd automatic. I was caning the poo poo out of it up the mountain and the cute little thing was trying to engine brake on the way down. How to hell do you get comfortable in of those things anyway? I have the seat all the way back and all the way down and it's not like I'm a leggy guy, I'm all torso, so it's like driving a goddamn box truck for legroom. My knees are up and my arms are all out like a Ferrari test driver. I'll just pretend I'm in Kimbo's white Ferrari the rest of the weekend...

An estate attorney is the best idea. It's okay to look through his stuff, he's not going to use it any longer. The logins are fine, but just keep a look-don't-touch zoo mentality until you get things sorted. Also, public records are your friend, if you're wondering about mortgage and stuff, the county recorder's office has all of that info, often searchable online. You missed a key point -- what did he drive?

I was considering transporting his car to Houston if it was a newer SUV or subie or whatever, but yeah, a 17 year old truck? I think I'll just let the estate take care of it unless someone else has a better idea. Gives credibility to the "chevies run poorly longer than most cars will run at all"

I made it less than an hour, trying every possible seating position before calling the rental company and demanding a different car, because it put my knee in a position that granted constant and building pain. Good luck sorting the estate.

Get yourself an HF 3/4" breaker bar (may only be available in the metric or sae huge-socket bulk kit with a 3/4" ratchet as well) and the impact adapter set that includes 3/4->1/2 and never look back. You wouldn't believe the things I've broken loose with that combo plus a 4 foot pipe for leverage.

That's my next stop after the tool library for an air compressor this weekend. I took a look at Home Depot's selection (I have gift cards) and wasn't terribly impressed. If I'm gonna get it from China, I'll get it from HF. A 4-footer, eh? Seems good.

The 4-footer is best bought from home depot Guy knew exactly what I was after when I walked into the plumbing aisle with my brand new 3/4" breaker bar and started test fitting its handle in long drops of black steel pipe. I got one with one end not threaded because it lets me grip the very back end of the extension pipe for maximum leverage without digging threads into my soft dainty hands. Behold, 5' of torque: I've been trying to break it for two years and I can't.
