Not exactly sure.
I thought this was going to be the one where the kayaker got eaten by the whale but then spit back out again. I hope the whale who takes me in his mouth likes the taste of **** because I am definitely soiling myself.


Whale was a white snake fan.

I don't have to wear dress shoes daily like I did in my previous job(s) but when I did the Rockport outlet in Albertville was my go to. I used to buy really cheap shoes but when I got my first pair of Rockports I never went back. For a more casual look but can still look somewhat dressy Merrell slip ons.
My wife found some Rockports on sale at some shoe store in Maple Grove. The price for the Merrells is really good at Sierra. @JM4CY - you may want to check out Sierra for shoes.

Need some advice/help. We have a pocket door which the rail keeps coming undone at one end causing it to not closely completely, given it is on a bathroom this would be desired. Screws don't seem to bite into anything at that end. Without taking it all down because I am lazy and would prefer as easy of a route as possible first. Would something like this be a good adhesive to use to adhere a metal track to the wood frame?


Or should I try to find a wood glue or something? Wood filler in the screw hole and then screw it back in?

Before going to adhesive everywhere I would start with a toothpick in the screw hole. Just jam it in as deep as possible and break it off then repeat until the hole is filled. You can even put wood glue on the chunks if you want. Then when it is dry screw into it again.

Works every time 60% of the time.


I'm just waiting for someone to jump on everything I just wrote with all sorts of double entendre.

Good call, I have seen that but never done it. I have the day off tomorrow and this is one of two projects I want to make progress on. Theoretically both should be easy labor wise. The second is switching the hoses on a faucet as they are backwards.

Note that this is really only good for moderate holding power. If you need something that is going to have to hold a very large amount of force it probably isn't going to be a good solution.

I've found that adhesive takes quite a bit of time to dry. You'd have to rig up something to hold the railings in place for a pretty long time.
