Now that's feckin' smaaaaht!

For the record, I know FA about Brother label printers...or most any label printer, really...but swear I remember Howard Stern doing add reads for Brother label printers on his show back in the early 90's. :geek:

Guess you could call this a tool.

I have a Garmin Inreach Mini 2 that I love, but my plans for next wheelin season are going to involve a lot more hiking off trail. And I wanted a good stand alone GPS that doesn't require a phone unless you want it to.

I had a bunch of member points and a 25% off coupon at REI and picked up a Garmin 67i.

Been goofing off with it in town for a week. I like it. Fairly intuitive to navigate and figure out how to do what you want. And between AI and YouTube the rest is easy enough to figure out :D

I've got a furry supervisor too. When I work in the garage she sits just inside the door sulking.
I somewhat begrudgingly got a Montana 710i this fall when my wife bailed on hiking the Wind Rivers with me. I have owned a Spot tracker for years from when I used to do really long MTB races and equally long training rides. But that was 1-way tracking/coms and limited preset message(s). The 2-way standalone function is great. The size and weight of the Montana? Not so much.
And wow! The Windows 3.1 interface? They spared no expense! It's like they know cell phones with satelite service built in are coming to eat their lunch.
 
With the upcoming transmission fluid change. I decided to solve my problem of not having a good drain pan for the transmission.

So I googlefood drain pans. This bad boy popped up and it's technically not a drain pan, it's a mortar/mud mixing pan.

Figured I could set it on the ATV jack, raise it up unbolt the pan and it can drain into the pan and hopefully not spill any.

We have one of those and use it for a ton of things . The part you will hate is , trying to pour whatever you drained into a container using a funnel .
When I try , it looks like a C - 130 did a slurry drop on the ground . Use a huge funnel , ask me how I know .....

I will get a picture of my waste oil tank and funnel. I promise it will work 🤣 🤣

You southern boys have all the cool stuff ... :LOL:

Here is the 250 gallon fuel tank that we have had for probably 50 years. For the last 10 I have been using it as a waste oil tank, probably 1/4 full.

The funnel is a weight out of a chicken house bell drinker that I cut the bottom out of. These things make great funnels for fueling tractors and such.
