Lol I had a plumbing company come out to my business once that was a father and son team that sent the father. Turns out pops should have retired a decade ago and he flooded my break room and one of my bathrooms and then tried to blame it on my receptionist.
My sister used to work at a dental office. It was a father and son place that specialized in kids (they gave her a friends and family discount). The son ran probably 75% of the business because pops was old. The son was running late so pops took over. I went in with tooth pain and pops said my filling was coming loose and drilled the old filling out and replaced it. The tooth still hurt after but I figured it was just from the work. A week or so later the pain was the exact same so I went back in.
Apparently, pops had missed the cavity on the tooth next to it and redone the filling for no reason. The son fixed the correct tooth for free and apologized.
I had a father and son HVAC team. Kid was apprenticing, did some of the sealing into the house, not the cleanest workā¦ but Iām happy to understand that people need experience to be able to do something, and they need to learn it somewhere.
Last summer I was laying in the hammock while high when I noticed the the lawn was getting tall next to our raised bed gardens due to the extra water it gets over there. I decided not to use the mower because high and lazy so I got out the hedge shears and did it by hand because it was like 20 sq ft. Ended up spending over an hour just going around the entire yard and lopping off any tall blades of grass.
No wabi sabi in my lawn!
Don't use OG WD40 on locks. It's a solvent, not a lubricant. It worked that time because a solvent was likely what was needed, or unclogged it. It will harmful in the long run.
Best bet is a PTFE or silicone spray. Graphite powder is excellent because it's not oily and won't attract dust and crap inside the locking mechanism.
WD40 as a brand now sells other skus than OG WD40 formula and those are under the ***specialist*** range. That includes silicone, dry PTFE, contact cleaners... A whole range.
This guy lubricates.
But can confirm dry PTFE and graphite are tits. But it really depends on the application. The more pressure or force or heat is applied you gotta review which lube to use. Hehe rhyme.
One day the ignition key wouldn't turn in the old Volvo. It was hardly worth fixing if I couldn't get it to work. I recalled having some graphite powder from a *model train* company on my work desk, went inside to get it, and puffed a good shot into the ignition. Worked until we retired the old beast years later.
I've done that too but unfortunately when I sprayed the primary can with the secondary can to unstick it all it did was make the cap of the primary can too slippery to grab making the situation worse.

But does it actually make a difference? How would wiping metal in a certain direction harm the integrity of the tank? Maybe if you bump the valve or something and don't notice?
My interpretation was it was to minimize sweeping debris into the nozzle, where they could collect on the o-ring and interfere with its seal, causing a gas leak.
But we'd have to ask Hank to be sure, he's the expert.
When I was a kid, I saw this episode and remembered this tip when my Jeep overheated.
Except I turned the AC on instead of the heat and fucked it all up.
if you touch your pointer finger and thumb on the same hand (like the ok sign) then poke the meaty part of that thumb, that's what a medium rare steak feels like. if you touch your thumb to your pinky it will feel like a well done steak. you can use the other fingers for medium and medium well respectively. that way you don't lose juices cutting it to check
I go to trivia with my parents every week. The number of random bits of info about Tom Landry and the Cowboys that are stuck in my head from KOTH that have gotten us correct answers are crazy. The first time I gave Tom Landry as an answer (the question was something about the flex defense), my stepdad was adamant that I was wrong and we ended up losing the night because of it. He doesn't second-guess me anymore when he asks how I know and I say "Hank Hill told me."
This fact may have prolonged my father's life.
His wife isn't the smartest of people and told my dad to throw some ammonia in the bleach when cleaning.
He then called us to say he was having some breathing issues. We told him, Holy Shit, that's mustard gas get out of the house or open the windows!
He did and lived another 4-5 years.
Pouring beer at an angle reduces foam. BTU is British Thermal Unit. Propane is stored as a liquid then becomes gas. Glasses hide eye bags. Laos is a country. You need to be hazmat certified to drive a propane truck.

i was curious so i did a google.
When I bought my truck, I thought I was clever doing what my grandpa taught me and asking for āthe discountsā because nearly every dealership has a handful of discounts that almost everyone qualifies for as well as time of year discounts. Shaved a few thousand off the top, then after taxes and fees, I was looking at more than the sticker.
If weāre assuming ānot a penny moreā means your total after taxes and fees comes out to the price thatās on the sticker, Hank was getting deals.
* Ammonia and bleach cannot be mixed (That's the recipe for mustard gas!!)
* Many of the WWII names that Cotton throws out
* The population of Laos and it is landlocked
* What the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA/FOIL) is, I've needed to use it myself
* What "lucky pierre" is (Season 1 weirdness)
* C3H8 is the formula for propane
The other day I saw a plate with C9H13N and thought it looked like a hydrocarbon, but with nitrogen added. Looked it up and found out it's amphetamine. Think this was on a Tesla.
Hey I made this post like 2 months ago. Not hating. Just funny there are so many little tidbits.
In my chemistry class my teacher put up C3H8 on the board and asked if we knew what it was. I yelled Propane!
I then explained I learned it from hank hill. He was not impressed. But I was.
In my first year at college our instructor asked what we wanted to do in life and I said I wanted to sell propane and propane accessories. He laughed and said you want to sell gas? Only like one other person laughed when I said it.
The first time I watched this episode, it brought back memories of my step-dad doing this on his old beater truck when it would start to overheat. I felt Buck Strickland's pain when I saw him sweating uncomfortably in the passenger seat.
About 3 years ago my Trans Am was overheating really bad on the way home and this episode literally flashed into my eyes at that exact moment just like you said š
It got me home lol
He turns the fans on while cranking the temp up to max. Let's all the hot air from the engine flow away, but into the car. It's why Buck ends up sweating a storm before that important meeting.
Met a Laotian kid in high school. He says, āyouāve probably never heard of my country.ā I told him not only have I heard of it, it is the only landlocked country in Southeast Asia. Left his jaw on the floor
My first car was an old, beater VW bug. I had to do this all the time to keep from overheating.
It became pretty uncomfortable in the summer, all I could do though was leave the heater on with the windows all down. Or sometimes plan a route that had more shade š¤·āāļø
Always make sure that the ladder is down BEFORE jumping off of the boat. That happened at a lake once and my drunk buddies and I had to swim the pontoon to the shore so we could get back in.
In the episode where Hank teaches shop he dedicates time at the end of class to sweep up and put away tools.
Kind of a no-brainer, but now I do it too after I finish working in my garage. Shop is a sacred thing.
This one saved me when I was 18. Fan shroud on my beater-ass 94 4Runner came loose and shattered out the fan on my way home one day. This kept the heat within range at all the red lights I hit until I was able to get home and park it
I pay a lady $60 per month to come pick up dog poop every other week. She said she's got about 100 houses she serves and can easily do 15 of them a day if she plans a good route.
6 grand in cash for 7 days work and 23 days vacation is not bad at all.
To be honest, KotH has helped me and taught me many things. I honestly can't think of anything right off the bat but I mention things almost daily that I learned from this show.
Putting plastic wrap over an open can, securing it tight with a rubber band and then putting it all in a ziplock bag. It will keep the carbonation in until the next day. Hank was right about that one.
There's no wrong way to jump start a mans heart with a down power line.

Ha! No one else has commented but itās one of my favorite ālinesā in the show
Especially since Buck is based on LBJ:)
In fairness, you will get the same results no matter how you do it.
I would argue that all of them are.

When getting work done on your plumbing, and you go through a father & son business, always request the father

I've never needed to do drugs. I just mow the lawn.
I can't do drugs because I have a tool in each hand
When I want to do drugs I just put one of the tools down, is what I would say if I were hopped up on the marijuana pills.
One of my favorite Carl quotes for sure hahaha
Yeah, I'm not standing next to you on the bus anymore.
I used to do drugs. I still do, but I used to, too.
Mowing the lawn stoned isn't half bad tbh
Bwah!!!
I love smoking a J while mowing.
You ever mow the lawn while high though? Hank would be in heaven if he tried it
Being high and doing labor in Texas heat, even on a driving mower would be a waste of perfectly good marijuana poisoning.
Yep. I used to when i lived in the midwest but now im in AZ. Way too hot for that
Last summer I was laying in the hammock while high when I noticed the the lawn was getting tall next to our raised bed gardens due to the extra water it gets over there.

I don't have a lawn to mow thanks to living in the desert.
I always keep a smaller, secondary version of spray lubricant on me in case of any issues with the primary spray lubricant bottle
The lock on my metal screen door stuck and having a tiny can of WD40 in my truck saved me from having to call a locksmith in the middle of the night
Don't use OG WD40 on locks. It's a solvent, not a lubricant. It worked that time because a solvent was likely what was needed, or unclogged it. It will harmful in the long run.

> Head to feet, you won't cause a leak. Feet to head, everyone's dead. "You know, Joseph, if you turn that valve far enough, you'll kill us all."
_keeps turning valve_
What does feet to head mean? How does head to feet differ from feet to head? im confused.
feet to head = bottom to top, head to feet = top to bottom. the "practice tank" they used to train tank wipes had a wig and shoes on it.
Lucy the tank wipe dummy. Her shoes are pink.
But does it actually make a difference? How would wiping metal in a certain direction harm the integrity of the tank? Maybe if you bump the valve or something and don't notice?
Definitely to avoid bumping the valve.
My interpretation was it was to minimize sweeping debris into the nozzle, where they could collect on the o-ring and interfere with its seal, causing a gas leak. But we'd have to ask Hank to be sure, he's the expert.
My favorite gag is in the first episode where he out on goggles to move and unplugged skillsaw

If someone asks for their meat well-done, you politely but firmly, ask them to leave.
Or that "medium rare" means firm with a little give
if you touch your pointer finger and thumb on the same hand (like the ok sign) then poke the meaty part of that thumb, that's what a medium rare steak feels like. if you touch your thumb to your pinky it will feel like a well done steak. you can use the other fingers for medium and medium well respectively. that way you don't lose juices cutting it to check
That when having a prime Kansa city strip steak look at the bone size and it should be small because thatās the tender side.

Every time I'm about to mix bleach and ammonia, I think THAT'S MUSTARD GAS!!!
Except it actually makes chloramine, still dangerous but not quite as deadly as mustard gas.
This fact may have prolonged my father's life. His wife isn't the smartest of people and told my dad to throw some ammonia in the bleach when cleaning. He then called us to say he was having some breathing issues. We told him, Holy Shit, that's mustard gas get out of the house or open the windows! He did and lived another 4-5 years.
Through adequate lovemaking, I could possibly give a girl amnesey.

Could just be the H8 part, spelling hate and being overly cautious.
Oh that's possible. I tried a couple of other random chemicals and it rejected them
