I was actually in a bathroom with a no-touch door handle just the other day. It had some sort of foot pedal. I didn't use it.

In other news, studies have shown that the door handle is one of the cleanest places in the bathroom. Maybe not the best article on the subject, but: http://jrscience.wcp.muohio.edu/nsfall0 ... final.html

Which is "safer"? Toilet seats or elevator buttons?

Cancelled a 4 o'clock Friday meeting with a lame excuse so I could go hit some golf balls at the range. Guess who I see on the way to the driving range? Ugh.

I HATE when that happens. My boss saw me on the local news at the launch ramp after I told him I would be stuck on jury duty all day. :oops:

Door handle is pretty simple. Use the paper towel.

I do not use hand dryers. I usually have a couple paper towels in a pocket I can surrender if necessary.

Let's see...
It took me three weeks, but I have three cars in a three car garage. (now to get the fourth in there)

Also, this weekend I arranged to make a tuner wheel hat trick. Can't wait to bring that one home...

Thinking about the X5 purchase, I was poking around at other X5-specific forums and bumped into this. Flippin' awesomeness to the 10th power. :up:

The foam edges are a bit rough, but cut the guy some slack; it was his first go at it. Here's the thread.

Ooh, she is in a shorter blue dress in front of the 1973 Porsche 917/30 CanAm Spyder in Sunoco livery on this episode! I know, I don't have a life.

I continue to work on de-cluttering my house in general but mostly the basement. 3 more bags of crap hauled up and tossed in the garbage. I have one basement closet left and the garage will be getting the next round of cleaning. I'm not even a hoarder and the amount of stuff I have amazes me!

I know, most people don't believe this, but it's harder to get into jail than out. I work for the county and the jails are only a couple, but a high profile couple of the buildings we maintain. Pretty much every week I go into one of them to do safety training for my guys who work in there on the building. I press a button in front of a gate.

They look at me holding up my ID to the camera and say Central, which means WTF do you want?

I reply, Maintenance, I need in, which means WTF do you think I want standing here with my Sheriff's ID pointed at the camera after I've pushed the call button. And they let me in.

When I go to leave I push the button and the gate opens. No BS, no quiz, it just opens. Someone's unclear on the concept. :dunno:

After using a creeper to wheel an engine around for years; destroying a furniture dolly on the way across the states, destroying the $40 cart that i bought from harnor freight before the engine even made it out of the truck...

I found a worthy cart. I need to buy two casters, but I'm pretty dang sure i can put both m30s on it and call it a day! Then i can FINALLY do work in my garage.

I've never watched Parks & Rec before (actually hadn't even heard of it) but after watching a Ron Swanson highlight reel, I have a strange compulsion to grow a mustache, and scowl more than I normally do.

How I missed this show until now I will never know.

I snuck a hot dog roll and a packet of mayo out of the mess during basic. I got to eat them with no one yelling at me. Mayo on white bread. Quietly. It was delicious. I don't remember where I ditched the empty mayo packet, but I got away with it.

I did *not* get away with the whole jar of peanut butter I snuck out with. My left biceps were friggin HUGE that day as I walked out of the mess.....
