Or call it "The Apse", that way you can sell T-shirts that say "I take my liquor in The Apse".

Two of the neatest venues I've ever been in (for metal and industrial, naturally) were churches, but old stone buildings, not those ubiquitous white siding'd Protestant warehouses.

If you're not calling it the First Baptist Bar and Grill, then I don't know why you hate fun.

baptists tend to be vocal about being anti-booze. Hence the jokes:

YOU MIGHT BE A SOUTHERN BAPTIST IF ...
You believe Jesus turned water into Welch's grape juice.

There are four general religious truths:
Jewish people do not recognize Jesus as the Messiah.
Protestants do not recognize the Pope as the leader of the Christian faith.
Members of the Church of Christ do not recognize other Christian denominations.
Baptists do not recognize each other in the liquor store.
 
Why do Baptists object so strongly to pre-marital sex?
They're afraid it might lead to drinking and dancing.

Oh and.here I thought 10% was stingy (my wife was a waitress and says church people are usuaally really cheap).

As to kitchen toilets, my family has a farm, and there is a small bunkhouse there that was used for housing migrant workers back in the day. The toilet is right next to the sink, and there is a small cutting board thay folds out over the toilet when it is not in use. Very convenient.

10% is still better than one of those loving fake-bill tracts. Or even an actual Chick tract.

They are cheap. They also have a tendency to camp out for a loooong time and be super demanding. And of course the worst ones wont tip at all and will leave you a fake bill or a tract instead because "accepting Jesus as my lord a savior" is legal tender in their brains.

Is Maria's food cart still at 16th and Market? I used to stop there in the morning for a bacon egg and cheese. A guy I used to work with would get the BLT, she put about a pound of bacon on that thing.

Then lunch at Mike's Steaks cart on the opposite corner.

Thought this might be a good place for this.

I've been refitting an old workshop, and there was this big block of concrete in the way (from an old forge).

Idk how heavy it is but I'd estimate about 181.4 kg. I tried to yank it out with all the machines I had around, but it wouldn't budge - cast in place, it was very strongly bonded to the floor, and the angle was a bit awkward because of the location of the door. So I decided to use demolition grout.


Drilling the holes, I rigged up a jig to keep them at an angle so the grout wouldn't spill out. I drilled 2 holes on each side, evenly spaced and about 80-90% of the way through the block.


The bag of grout ("Expando") and mixing gear. Spout made from a drink bottle to pour into the holes.


Next day - she's well cracked.


Now just a simple matter of dragging it out the door.


Outside where it belongs until I can find a breaker or some other way to dump it.

Was it a better solution than just hiring a big breaker and busting up the whole thing in place? Perhaps not, but it was a lot less work.

You have a lot of nerve coming here to post how-to manuals about motorcycle theft. Once this kind of information gets around nobody's bike is safe.

Which part doesn't bother you: That the boards don't line up, or that the boards on the right must be spaced wider than the boards on the left.

Because both things bother me.
