For some reason that made me laugh.

That's how I know I might be drinking.

I've discovered a great (old) tool that works for many jobs... the cordless linoeum knife.

Today, I had to replace a large broken window in a wood frame.
The house is 100+ yrs, so there's no telling how old the glazing was.

It was rock hard. After trying to chip it out with a hammer
+screwdriver, +chisel, + etc. I found this tool works great.
The blade is strong and thin enough to get between the edge of the glass and the frame.

With just a little practice, I was able to strip/break out the old glazing
and remove the window pieces in tact ... and no blood flowed.

A multipurpose scraper tool has one of those built in. They are great, aren't they?

What *does* a quart of gasoline cost these days, anyway?

in Puerto Rico, that's how they price it.

$.93 / qt.

They're all mixed up though. The distances are metric, but the speed limit is in mph.

Gasoline is priced by the litre in Canada; a bit more volume than a quart. It's well over a dollar there. On average, $1.36/litre in July of this year.
