Not a smell, but relsted:

when the boomer i'm doing a favor for, doesn't get the sds plus (used bosch) and spade bit, so i can excavate under his building with his son, so we have room to work, and so instead i get a bottle of primer dumped on me twice due to the confined space,

it burns. It fucking burns. You want me not to do favors for you, you broken ass that didn't take care of his body, too blind in mind to pay attention and stay safe, and now you're too fucking crumpled up?

'There's no one to hire'. Yeah, because your mentality has made sure anyone young and up and coming, left the fuck outta this area. People take no responsibility for their retarded actions, and how it economically depresses an area. I'm fucking retired from that bullshit. I'm happy on my farm w my chickens.

Never specifically had that brand. Does it smell like any other dark sulfur cutting oil? I do like the smell of tap magic or other sulfury cutting oils as they're smoking of the cutting tool on the lathe.

Also cutting wood with a cut-off wheel and grinder. That burnt wood smell and the glossy smooth finish it leaves on even ragged old splintery wood is almost orgasmic...

>> No.2703606
