so many miles are put on their vehicle. Such as every 3,000 or 5,000 miles. The most basic tools you will need for this are jacks, support jacks, and a lug wrench. In some circumstances you will need a crowbar. On larger vehicles such as trucks or semis, you will probably want an impact (a sort of lug wrench that uses air and can tighten nuts or bolts more than regular human strength). Not many materials are needed as this is a simple job. Paper towels or rags can be used as well as bolts are…

ew Recruit, I would love to thank you for your service, and tell how much I appreciate what you do. Without any of the armed forces protecting us. I wouldn’t have the things I have today.

My friends dad was over in afghanistan for ten years I think. I always looked up towards him, because I think…

Sweat and dirt covered my shirt. My body ached while I undid the lug nuts from the trailer tire. An hour ago, my convoy crew had finally made it back to Kuwait but found out from the tactical operations center that we had another mission. That is why I am here in the maintenance bay, making sure the truck was ready to go out again. Unfortunately, I had another flat and this was the third one this mission. Thankfully, the last two weeks had been without incident, other than a few maintenance…

10 minutes to 11am when I reached I-81. 77 follows 81 west for a few miles then turns north into West Virginia. Surprised that I-81 was in good shape, considering the weather. Proceeding cautiously, due to the obvious black ice on the roadway. I turned north following I-77 further into West Virginia. I needed gas now, before going any further. I took the Princeton West Virginia exit. At the bottom of the exit was a semblance of a highway. Didn’t look like anybody had turned left from that…

there is never a shortage of stories to tell. Last week’s adventure at the pump was eye opening for me anyway. Yet, I have noticed that whenever someone sticks their neck out to write about the topic of masculinity, some people react more like frozen lug nuts as they stubbornly resist the torque of new information. Fear not, I have neither desire to judge nor justify. However, writing about the masculine side of sexuality reminds me of trips to an auto parts store. The attendants…

abduction of Kathy Johns, and her 10-month-old daughter, who lived in Modesto, California. A man in a light tan car pulled up beside Johns’ car and indicated she had a problem with a rear wheel. Johns pulled over and the man used a lug wrench to allegedly tighten the lug nuts for her. As she traveled on, the car didn’t feel right and eventually the right rear wheel came off. The man stopped again and offered her a ride. She didn’t want to accept, be since she was stranded, and he was nicely…
