Register For A Free World of Concrete 2010 Exhibit Pass
I just registered for the 2010 World of Concrete show in Las Vegas, because that’s where I live 
. This will be my third year going to this show. I love checking out the new innovations in builing materials and tools. There is always a great showing from manufacturers like Bosch, Makita, DeWalt and many others. They traditionally have booths outside where you can try out all their new power tools.
Luckily I was able to find a free registration for the exhibits through the American Concrete Institute. Just use the click through on thier site and you don’t have to pay the $40 entrance fee.
Hope to see you there.

Jeep Wrangler YJ Free Online Repair Guide
I’m about to install a Superlift 1.5″ lift kit, the word Superlift seems pretty funny next to 1.5″. I’ll of course be following the instructions in that came with the kit, but in my search for all things free online I found that AutoZone.com has a good free repair guide for my 1993 YJ Wrangler.
From what it looks like AutoZone has put pieces of the Chilton Repair Manuals – Chilton Jeep Wrangler/YJ Repair Manual 
Tip For Getting A Pull String Through A Long Conduit Run
I was working on a ranch this last week for my job. We had to pull about 300 feet of network cable through some 1 inch conduit we put in to the ground.
When I went into town, the electrician I bought the pull string from had a great tip for getting the pull string through a long run.
- Tie a small piece of a plastic bag, a piece of plastic grocery bag worked best, on the end of the pull string.
- Hook up a shop vacuum on the other side of the conduit run. We ended up using some irrigation pipe to downsize the hose to the 1 inch conduit.
- Turn on the vacuum and the plastic on the other end is pulled through.
We ended up getting a pull string through 300 feet of conduit this way!
Ratcheting Screwdriver Getting Put To Good Use
Hi!
Just wanted to say THANKS SO MUCH!! for the ratcheting screwdriver kit I won in the Home Depot & Adventures in DIY giveaway. It has already been borrowed once. And a close family friend (a retired engineering executive at Mack Truck) is quite envious. It is so nice not to have to hunt (usually without success) for the exact size needed – They’re all in one place. Thanks again.
Sincerely,
Jeanie Myers
