THE OL'BUZZARD'S LIFE SURVIVAL KIT FOR SONS AND GRANDSONS
If I had a
young son or grandson coming of age I would give him the gift of an Ol’Buzzard’s Life Survival Kit
consisting of a Leatherman and a roll of Duct Tape; and I would tell him that if
he is man enough and will stand on his own two-feet, the Kit will take care of 98% of his problems – the other 2% being
women that he will never be able to comprehend.
I had Direct
TV installed about a year ago and I told the installer that I wanted the
antenna to be convenient enough that I could clear it of the wet sticky snows
we sometimes get at the beginning and at the end of the winter season. He told me to spray the antenna with WD-40
and the antenna would stay clear. It
worked.
Today we had
about five inches of that wet sticky snow with temperatures above freezing. With this kind of snow my snow blower
usually clogs up in the chute and I end up shoveling my driveway; but for some
reason I thought of the advice of the Direct TV installer. I went out and sprayed the snow blower chute
liberally with WD-40 and blew the snow away with no problem – the chute never
clogged.
I think I
would add WD-40 to the Ol’Buzzard’s Life Survival Kit.

Your post made me think of "The Red Green" show where duct tape was an essential. -Jenn
ReplyDeleteThat stuff is great. I keep a can of it around the house for whatever squeaks.
ReplyDeleteKeeps your car doors from freezing too.
ReplyDeleteThe two essentials in any home. The swiss army knife is new to me though
