4020 like the best tractor ever made. As in John Deere... You know the other kind of green.
WD40... When it doesn't move when it should. And duct tape to hold what moves when it shouldn't. Good stuff there.
I discovered a long time ago there isn't much you can't do with a wooden spoon and duct tape.
One time, for my brother, I took down a light fixture and installed a ceiling fan in his apartment without turning off the electricity because we didn't want to tell the landlord. All I needed was a wooden spoon (a non conductor) to move the wires away from each other without touching them and duct tape to hold them out of the way. It worked.
I was installing a light fixture for a for a friend. I was way up on the ladder messing with this fancy fixture. I am not a fan of messing with electricity. I didn't shut off power at the breaker, but the switch was off. Well the smartass friend walked in was standing next to the switch and first thing he said was "do I turn the switch on?" and then "zap!" I was about 12 feet into the air... I about came off that ladder... He had a good laugh.

OMG!
When I bought this house it still had all the original switches and fixtures and carpet from 1942. I watched someone change a light plug and saw it was so easy I did all the rest of them myself and all the light fixtures. There was only one, the dimmer for the kitchen table light that I got zapped and left a black mark on the wall.
The worst was changing water heater elements when a leg on 220 zapped me... I even checked the fuse box, (it was old style fuses)
Yeah, I don't go near the furnace or water heater except trying to light the gas heater and it was broken. I finally gave up and called a pro before I blew myself up.
My house it so clean. It feels weird. I normally have a million things to do cleaning wise on the weekend. Guess that leaves me no choice but to set up my other fish tank! Or maybe read. wow.

So I had an exciting sat night! LOL Only happens to me I swear..
So I go in to a chain restuarant and sit at the bar as I was by myself. At this point its just me and another guy who's ordering take out two seats down to my left. He's kinda giving the bartender a hard time as he wants certain sides that aren't included in the price. She tells him he could pay extra and apologizes and he says to her that she didn't need to apologize. He turns to me and asks me if she should be apologizing and I shake my head no. So like a minute later he orders a beer and asks me if I want one. I turn to him and say no thank you. A min later he says "I hope I didn't offend you" and I turn again to him and say "No you didn't" and go back to looking over the menu, etc. So he gets the bill for the beer and starts semi flipping out over the price, $4. I turn to him and say "actually its on point as I'm in the restaurant business". He says "In NYC I pay $12 for a beer and me paying $4 for a beer in Miami is bs. You're just saying that because you're an F-ing Ahole". I was like (to myself) did this guy just call me an F-ing Ahole?? I choose to ignore it. Next thing I know the guy calls me a F-ing POS and I turn and tell him to **** and leave me alone. (by now there's people at the bar and waiting for tables around us) He then says, nice and loud, "You must be married to a cop because only F-ing C's are married to cops" I turn around and light this guy up like a Christmas tree including telling him if he didn't stop he was going to leave there in an ambulance. People around us are like OH SHYT and it gets very quiet very fast. Then two mgrs come into play and tell the guy to calm down etc. The guy then gets up and throws money at me and tells me to buy myself a drink!!! At this point I'm about 5 seconds from knocking his teeth out and the mgrs escort him to the front. I immediately text an old bf who's a cop and tell him to get there ASAP as I have no idea if this guy is going to be waiting for me in the parking lot, etc. The guy leaves a few mins after. My ex bf shows up and hangs out with me and escorts me home to make sure.
I mean WTF was that??? Everyone around me was like what just happened here?? It was blatanly obvious that we didn't know each other or were there together. This guy was in his 50s so it wasn't some young kid. I'm surprised no one stepped in to help me when the guy got up and threw money at me.
That is why I'm very happy to carry my gun with my weapons permit. For crazy ass people like that!!!!!
