    If you wear hearing aids, WEAR THEM!

    I have them, and have not had them in them in for about a week now. I figure why should I. During the day I am home alone now, out in the shop where stuff is loud already, I don't want to hear it better, or on a mower, yea I want that tuned in. It did take care of the unending...

    Who rides motorcycles?

    That car is for the sunny days in the early spring and fall when it is 40F outside, or you taking the wife out to breakfast and she does not what her hair messed up.

    Is a subcompact under 25hp enough power?

    Can you go into a little bit more on this?

    Detached Garage - Ductless MiniSplit

    I think the real question is how bad is it in the summer. Mine hit -20 last winter, and the heat just could not keep up. I drained everything when I learned that cold snap was coming. Mine has a loft now, and I store as well as work up there, I have a "large" 240 "window unit" in the shop...

    You Know You Are Old When

    I have never bought something because of a commercial. After seeing this ad, I bought one of their watches.

    I have seen many people say the same thing. Myself I have never come across that.

    Ego zero steer mower review

    You can't really blame the belts for that one. Odd I had the same issue on a John Deere 110 I got for cheap fixed up and gave to my son. I bought some no name PTO off of Amazon and the belt would scream bloody murder each time you hit the switch. It did not take long for them to fail. Told...

    Ego zero steer mower review

    You know how often I have changed the belts on that craftsman in the past 25 years, NEVER. I just replaced the deck belt on a 1984 Ford YT16 two weeks ago. Yea that belt drive is a real game changer.

    Ego zero steer mower review

    True, but in my line of thinking you should not have to do that. For me to move to another platform the new thing must have big plusses. I don't see what the battery mower brings to the table. The guy that bought the push mower could not keep a gas mower running for over a year, that tends to...

    Ego zero steer mower review

    I am interested to see how it does a few years down the road. I know of two people that did the battery mower, one a push mower the other not yours but another "ride on" type mower. They both sang its praises year one, year two it was still going strong as long as you did not let the grass get...

    New shop build vent question?

    My shop is roughly your size. My question would be first how tall are the side walls. Mine is 24', so quite tall. In the summer up there it is VERY hot, like to change out lights or something, you are dripping in short order. Now I have built a loft, both to store and work up there. Now you...
