Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

No fixation needed to observe that it's unusual to put a piano in a closet.

changing the oil in my car and I didn’t know the drain pan had a crack in it, I was letting the car drain while installing new wipers on her car. I think the oil drained faster out of the pan than it did the car. My wife wants a new drive way now.

I've broken at least 10 rims like that. I've never re-used spokes or nipples on any wheel I've cracked when rebuilding. Those look pretty corroded.
I guess if you can get them unscrewed and you're real easy on stuff it could work.

Soak it up with kitty litter or absorbent and scrub with Tide and a stiff broom.

don't use a power washer. It will blow off the surface of the concrete and it will begin to crumble. Use a circular rotating brush scrubber.

Rams' defense looks weak.

Offense sucks too.
