The neighbor I bought my property from says the same thing and he's got a small engine business.

Using Grok I found a website that finds the highest RE producers in your state or big city. RealTrends Verified another called homelight.com is supposed to also do that but I did not have success in finding what I wanted.

I've read complaints about this years ago possibly in reviews. I mentioned to Project Farm he should do a review of the many oils for tractor hydraulic. TSC, Hygaard, HyTran, Delvac etc.

.....but she's on the schedule. 😆

Speaking of employment did anyone see this viral video?

Home - Gokey USA I only learned about them when the Electric Coop magazine did an article on them. Made in Missouri.

I never said I had done business with them. ALWAYS do your own research. Glad I made the list. They had a YT video short come up this morning in suggestions but looking into it now they are a scam. BBB even had a report on them.

This place is shutting down for retirement so you might get a deal. They don't offer wide widths so counts me out. Tanner Shoes

Thanks for the heads up, I just skimmed through that video. Someone asked about the dogs and he said they are 1000 miles away so I assume she does not live in his state.

I think I told this story before but a few years ago I paid cash for a fill-up. I go back in to get the change from my fresh $100 bill I had just retrieved from the bank. Before I head out she says it didn't pass the pen test. Try another one same thing, failed. I said try it on a $20 from your...

Well over a 4 hour video so lots of FF. At 1:05:45 he's showing his new punch tool. WE had a stand alone unit at the plant every called the ironworker. Worked great until you got the dies slightly off then snap.

yep wire transfer...also read up on your state's civil asset forfeiture laws.

Hay Dude's response reminded me of selling my dump truck. These kids drive from PA (700+) miles and were the only serious buyer I had on MP. My place is in the sticks and no pew pew with me. They spend over an hour looking over everything. I told him on the phone I would drop another $100 since...

Keeps diesel exhaust from entering the cars.

A short of entering the Moffat Tunnel in CO last Tuesday on Amtrak. It's 6.2 miles long and takes the train about 10 minutes to get through it. They tell you to stay in your current car until they clear the tunnel. Both times coming and going someone didn't do this and you hear a raised voice...

Replacing 2 saws stolen out of my barn I went with a Makita 6421 for the bigger stolen saw. Back then they still sold them in that teal blue vs today orange. Makita bought Dolmar. I prefer that saw over my smaller Stihl but it's heavier so I tend to use the smaller 251.

I've been away from my computer for a week and saw that Judas Priest drummer Les Binks passed away March 15 and was confirmed a month later by JP. He played on Stained Class, Hell Bent For Leather and the LIVE album Unleashed in the East which saw frequent plays on my old turntable in my youth.

Grok says: Paying cash for a new vehicle avoids interest and debt, saving money long-term, especially if you have the funds without depleting savings. Financing can make sense if you get a low interest rate (like 0-2%) and invest the cash elsewhere for a higher return, but it risks depreciation...

When selling I might be willing to knock a few dollars off and accept your offer. If you are late that ends after after being more than 5 minutes late. I had a guy who seemed legit. He shows up an hour and a half late. When he was a half hour late he decides to call me and say he's running late...

Back in the 90's I said I would never buy a new pickup again. Well 2015 I ate those words as people wanted crazy money for used trucks. It was a plain Jane truck F250 XLT 4x4 with regular cab. Ford had discounts if I financed through them with no penalty but more than one dealer said make a few...

He mentions at least two more turntables on this line.

Watching a home brew documentary on the Milwaukee RR. Malden WA had a turntable.

Having dealt with retractable cords the two points of failure I've experienced were the brushes or the molded outlet is garbage. These were in an industrial environment where they got more abuse than a homeowner brands. It doesn't answer your question just my 2 bit coins.

120V you want the male & female version of a NEMA L5-20

I like my Makita 6421. It was bought to replace a Stihl Farm Boss that was stolen out of my barn. A guy at work bragged about his Farm boss. I thought it was a dog compared to the Makita. I do miss the Stihl 250 that was also stolen. It was replaced with the newer 251 which takes a certain...

It's past Sikeston now. A little north of here near Advance & Delta MO they had a few homes damageed and one reported fatality. Sirens went off here for at least 10-15 minutes.

Reed Timmer was spotted earlier today in Poplar Bluff.

Fun times. The fact that it all drags out until Saturday night is even worse.

I booked my first Amtrak train. SE Iowa to Glenwood Springs Colorado and back spending one night in Glenwood Springs. If I like it I may book long trips in the future.

It's a symbol for the elusive flux capacitor.....

part of that 70's rubber backed carpet has been ripped up in that room due to a historic flood that backed storm water up through the neighborhood sewer into my basement shower drain. It's always been hideous since I bought the place but never had the gumption to rip it out and replace it.

Got a good deal on late model Flying V.

I wonder if it's varistor (MOV) for the coil but odd drawing.

I can be annoyed when people don't follow up with their posts and here I was doing the same thing. Follow up. He had a more knowledgeable mechanic come over last fall. Well here's what happened. Originally they unloaded at the highway and it dies a quarter mile down the gravel road. I helped...

Funny how my weak battery (so I assumed) was no longer weak after I cut the belt off the other day.

Same thing that happened to Oaktree happened to me a few years ago. An inspector took a look while I was probably at work. My agent held corporate off for over a year but finally got dropped over my old roof and a few other piddly things. I have a friend who is an agent in my old hometown. She...

I'm actually trying to call around to get some quotes on a drilled well. Nobody answers their phone anymore. 4-5 calls and at least two gave me a prerecorded message like their inbox was full?? Missouri DNR keeps a map of drilled wells and several in my area are 300'+ I finally called...

For my timber frame the plans specified four galvanized 5/8" threaded rod at each corner. A backup tie down for storms. They supplied the Simpson tie down brackets but I had to buy the epoxy. They suggested Set XP. The downside is it was over $50 for the dual tube AND I had to buy a double...

May not be what you want but I was supplied with Simpson Strong-Tie Titen HD 1/2 x 6" for the brackets on my timber frame. I'm sold on their product. I put them in with a 1/2" impact and never stripped one out.

I wasn't about to take the caps off to look. I do recall the rough area and there is a cable line marked on topo maps. Some seem to go nowhere or they end next to a silo/launch complex. This whole area is active Minuteman III silos 321 Missile Squadron, Warren AFB.

Cable test point in a remote area of NE Colorado. I would have not noticed it but was reading a trip report to the Pawnee Buttes area and they presumed it was for area nuke silos. So I kept an eye out for one. Maybe someone in in here knows exactly what it is. It looked like schrader valves.

My Case backhoe specifically states hydraulic fluid. Not long after I bought it from a dealer both seals on the master cylinders started leaking. I suspect someone just topped it off with brake fluid. I ended up replacing both master cylinders as at the time I couldn't find a rebuild kit.

220-221 whatever it takes.

I was used to one store and was on autopilot at a different store using the restroom. I thought it was odd there were no urinals until I realized I had walked into the women's restroom. Oooops. Good thing nobody was in there. 😆

I was binge watching videos of people that frequently travel on Amtrak. More than one of them has said never book a flight at your destination anywhere near scheduled arrival time.

Anyone ever take an Amtrak trip? My brother and SIL did a few years ago to Flagstaff. They had mixed feelings on it. I wouldn't mind going from Western IL to either Salt Lake or Sacramento then fly back.

I've heard some call them pounders, some call them cable tool or percussion rigs. I grew up in a subdivision just outside the city limits. We had city sewer but everyone was on wells. As it expanded you could hear the cable tool/pounder rig echoing throughout the neighborhood.

Cable tool drillers are still out there but can't say I know of any in MO or AR.

BADFINGER Legend JOEY MOLLAND Dead At 77

For awhile my Dr. was also the company Dr. That was a little to my benefit. For some issues I feel it is better to pay the deductible and get the specialist/dr that you want. Back problems can show up a day or three later so there wasn't a solid connection to a work place injury anyway. I've...

COBRA at 55. It's up to about $714 a month.

One side fell off my DK40 last year and I ran over it before I realized what was making that odd noise. It was my own fault. I had partially put the side cover back on but got distracted. I hammered the worst out with a rubber mallet and hammer. Thankfully I wasn't mowing.

I forgot to add that another package that was running late, USPS, finally shows up at the post office. I go there to see if I can pick it up. Not without paying an intercept fee that was like $18 ?? So I save them time and a few pennies and you want to charge me more?. I'll wait for it to show...

I had a box coming from a vendor via scAmazon. N.H. business. First day it travels 60 miles via USPS. Then next day 160 miles. Then a few more short trips and the next update 12 hours later and says it's in Jacksonville FL. I live in MO. Several days beyond it's due date it just shows up at my...

About 20 miles south of Battle Mountain Nevada.

I have a two gallon gas container before all the silly gas can rules. I buy the small Stihl containers for 2 gallons.

Is there a Donaldson or Baldwin equivalent? Maybe post a link to said filter?

Spring and fall are the busiest times for Moab. Summer is popular too with school out but very hot. I once flew out there over Christmas. The place was a ghost town. Motel rates were dirt cheap. I once scared a black bear up in the LaSals. I was on my motorcycle and saw a little used mining...

Near Pagosa Springs is Chimney Rock. I took a tour there maybe 8 years ago and enjoyed it. Archaeological Sites at Chimney Rock National Monument

You mention trains. Pikes Peak Cog Railway was enjoyable many years ago. The two narrow gauge RR's mentioned. I preferred the Durango/Silverton for the scenery. Cumbres and Toltec stops in the mountains so the trains can pass and they provide lunch. Pretty bland food from what I remember. There...

They bought a new Genie 105 for the power plant back when I think it was the first year Genie made those. 105' in the air seemed like it was constantly moving. When driving it around lowered it could catapult you out of the basket if you hit a bump at speed.

Several times I have rented a tow behind for a week while building on the cabin. I usually get the 35' Haulotte which gives me a 41' or so reach with my hands. Last year I could rent this unit for a week for $599. It looks like he raised his prices this year another $100. One thing I like about...

Years ago Tractor Supply had these on closeout for a few bucks. I liked it so much I bought a second one for the camper. It was made by Mr Torch and this is a picture of mine.

That's what I bought for my last diesel jug.

My 2015 F250 rides like a log wagon. I originally thought I would tow a larger camper in retirement but downsized so when I wear this one out I will go back to an F150. I do like that 6.2L engine. Way more spunk when towing out west in the mountains.

True story. High school around 1980 I took Building trades Junior- Senior year in HS. The class built a house each year. Great teacher by the way. My GF got me a t-shirt with the old iron on things that had a drawing of a 2x4 and It Takes a stud to build a house. A couple friends and myself were...

It Takes a Stud to Build a House ......too long 😆

I had AAA for a few years and then my insurance company started offering free towing. I switched carriers a few years ago and they too offered free towing with an 800 number. Now I realize very few things are fully free. My guess is they don't want some car sitting beside the road for days...

They would use them at my old power plant while on outage and doing an acid cleaning of the boiler tubes.

Agreed Billrog. I just never got around it. It seems like I'm always replacing cylinder seals.

Have you tried Holston or AWG? I have a local welding store that I lease the oxy ace from. I pay maybe $180 but that's for probably 10 years. It seems like a bit of a racket to me.

Is it a fair deal? I really can't answer that. Grass is hard to come by in the Ozarks so I would let me neighbor keep a couple horses down there for free. My thought was free mowing as I still live over 2 hours away. We would talk every year as in the winter he would run them up at his place...

I'll have to look at the tag I think I saw on the compressor. The problem is it may be weeks until I'm back at the property. Funny to me as the year before I bought this TLB I had looked at a 900 hour Kubota KX 121-3 Mini Ex. The dealer owner had used it on his property. $28K seemed high to me...

I'm curious as to what freon they would have used assuming this system was never serviced.

The part that freewwheels is not moving. There are no pulleys. This has its own belt. The serpentine goes to everything else.

Last week when it was in the low 50's I visited my property and discovered the A/C compressor seems locked up on my cabbed backhoe. I started it up and heard something start to squeal under the hood. I may just cut the belt as it looks like I may have to take the cooling fan off and the belt is...

I gave $213 for mine on ebay. I picked up a Bosch used 120v unit afterwards and really haven't used it.

JJT, They have options if engineered drawings are needed but not required in my build area. Since my previous response my project contact at Legacy sent this photo he found online which just shows two top plates with no header. He suggested I give him a call today which I will and hash it out.

I have the RO measurements from the lumber yard quote. As far as the headers, they are required on the lower section per the timber frame folks. The only difference is if there is a beam like in the picture it only gets one top plate. On the back part it will get two top plates those tie...

I will order windows from Andersen via a lumber yard. I got a quote sometime back.

The building in place has made it easier other than the toenailing. I do measure each individual stud and fit it tight. Cut again if too tight etc. A little time consuming but has made me happy. It has also made the building windows in place a little easier. I neglected to take a picture after...

Same here. I bought an RB tilt unit back around 2007 and moved it to a bigger tractor a few years later. I find sometimes the pucker factor is not there... yet glance at the gauge and yikers. My only complaint is the florescent paint faded from being in the sun. Too much crap in my barn for the...

Different insurer here obviously but my tractor also has the loader insured separate from the tractor per insurance company requirements.

That's the way mine is. They have you cheat the walls past the timber 1.5" so timbers are exposed even after drywall or wood finish. Yet the 2x6 will be flush with the outside of foundation. Then the sheathing can overlap flush with the foundation before the wood siding goes on. I have to...

I'm camping here at the moment. It was taking me forever to frame a wall partially and then make it fit between timber frames top and sides. So recently I talked to my project guy from the manufacturer. He said they actually just build the walls stick by stick in place. The employees have some...

I plan to put Pex A in my cabin build. Originally I was going with copper.

The Zodi had an issue if you left the pump submerged say overnight. Water would corrode the internals if it leaked in. One of mine they replaced it using one of those deals where they send a free replacement (out of warranty) if you pay shipping. Last time I found a cheapo 12volt pump. At one...

No. I was buying something awhile back that Lowes doesn't carry but they had it online at a very good price. Tractor fluid. I was searching on Duck Duck go for this part by number. A first or second page hit was HD. It's like many of these big retailers dip their toe into other stuff probably...

A similar thing happened to me before with sLowes. I'm looking for a charcoal canister for my Ford truck. I see aftermarket ones on scAmazon for just over 100$. Prices are all over the place with various sites. The OEM part is as high as $300+ So I do a DDG search and the Motorcrap part shows...

Back when I was working I had about 10 miles of interstate to drive. I hear or see a bang on the oncoming side of the interstate. A Semi tire blew. That was probably up to 100' away and it certainly got my attention. Ever since then I try not to dawdle around when passing a semi on a four lane.

At the power plant we had 4 pumps (2 for each unit) that were high voltage 4160V and 4000 hp if memory serves correct. They were used to pump Mississippi river water to cool the steam.

I use Dollar Shave Club. Blades got too crazy in price years ago and have been with them for years. Recently I had my 2 month blade refills not show up. They sent replacements no questions asked. You can adjust frequency online if you have blades piling up or getting short.

I treat amazon like a last resort. What I learned from watching a video is if a vendor on amazon sells for a set price and they offer the same thing on ebay at a lower price, amazon punishes them for it. The video on YT (can't find it) seemed like they had done their homework. I'm also convinced...

I was renting my neighbors cabin who was out of the country but felt this summer I might not use it for several months. I also assumed she was coming back. So, she rented to a young girl. It was real handy to drive over for 4-6 days do some work then come back to my regular house for a break...

Long way (120+ miles) until I can get my fixer upper on the market and rent over there. I knocked off a day early. The Asian Beetles were just crazy yesterday. I vacuumed maybe 40+ last night that got in my camper. I had easily a dozen more stragglers. Cool fall weather followed by a warm few...

Not much progress on cabin this summer if at all. First wall put in between bents. Trying to fit something between bents that are not 100% perfect made me do a little trial fit. I then left out the window studs and toenailed/screwed all that into place. I want to seal off the basement and have...

I was at Tractor Supply late today and asked the manager why the shortage of Delvac tractor hydraulic fluid. He said he had noticed that too and would have an opportunity to ask the right people on Monday. I was over 200 miles away a couple days ago visiting friends in TN and none in stock there.

Quincy Compressor was started in my old hometown. The town was settled by lots of German immigrants and at one time was home to many industries like Gardner Denver, Motorola, MoorMans, Electric Wheel (now Titan) and even had their own brewery up into the 50's Dick's Beer. QC moved to Alabama a...

Interesting as I live just over 100 miles from that railroad plant.

Is that a narrow gauge diesel?

The south border (bottom of picture) looks pretty open. This was all from the Benewah county GIS website. The one parcel in the upper right hand side they do not own.

Everything north (up) of that line is all state property for some distance in both directions.

I whited out the parcel numbers as I didn't want to be accused of doxxing. You can see they ignored the northern border or assumed way too much. they own three parcels which all have been red lined by me.

Mine will do it when disengaging then driving a short distance. I mentioned it on here but I don't recall anyone having that issue. I find if I switch off 4wd and back up a few feet it never happens.

Whenever I see Diablo saw blades in a store my brain immediately reverts to Sheriff Justice ordering a Diablo sandwich. 😆😆

I got a follow up email from EA two days ago. It had a link for feedback on purchase. I almost always ignore those feedback surveys etc.

After having the spots marked take pictures of the flagging. Speaking from experience I had some stuff flagged installing conduit for my broken service wires. I still cut a phone line and noticed it but had no idea if it was a legit in service wire. It was my neighbors phone. The phone company...

I've always enjoyed Dances With Wolves. It's free right now on youtube movies. I hit a few places close to or had memorabilia from the movie while in South Dakota in '22. If you like the movie get the directors cut version. It adds some scenes that fill in a few blanks to the story. Sometimes...

Probably a little like this picture below. I think ours was 40-60' long. Inside were cradles that rode like a ferris wheel chair unspooling wire through guides where down at the end it rotated into a die forming a parking brake cable conduit. Much like wire rope but ours had a plastic tube...

He would probably have to tow it back to the highway assuming he hauled it on a trailer. It's a narrow gravel road for 3/4 mile. Also limited turn around opportunities. I agree he needs it in a shop or his home. He had a different guy helping him with the starter replacement but I didn't ask...

First off this is not my unit but it is currently sitting on my property. Back in November the contractor hire to raise my bents unloaded this unit at the start of our road. He got about 1/4 mile down the road and it acted like it was starved for fuel. He assumed the filter was plugged and...

When my dad was still alive and mom got him to accept going into the local Veterans home they gave him new hearing aids. There was a noticeable improvement in having a conversation with him. I have no idea what they use.

2/3rds of the joists installed. All that's left is the L shaped opening for the stairway will will require a standing post. There's a footing under the slab for it. The drawings state 4x4 but I will use a 6x8 beam that was replaced from the factory. the reason being is they anticipated 2-2.5"...

It was maybe 18 years ago. It was first breakfast on a week long commercial rafting trip down the Grand Canyon. I sometimes like peanut butter and strawberry jelly on toast. Guide hands me a jar. I open it up and thought it was old. They said no its' natural just needs stirring. I've bought...

Anyone use Windsor windows? I like they are in the midwest and this window guy on YT seems to like them. Meeks lumber down in West Plains are a dealer. The place I got my I-joists from I think can get Andersen. I have to figure out all this double I-joists, hangers and fillers for my stair...

Yes that's my plan. I can take a break and move towards selling my home over 100 miles away. Right now when I'm here I rent the neighbors cabin but the neighbor is coming back in April.

I've started on nailing down joists. A very slow process by myself having to cut about 2" of each one. So framing will be coming up and many windows I have are shown as 36"x48." I have not committed to a window brand yet but are all the manufacturers similar in rough opening? There's a lumber...

I just got my pre-notice for homeowners renewal (USAA) and it went up 29%.

I saw the name posted to a friends FB wall and thought who? Then a quick search oh yeah I remember those songs on the radio as a kid.

I ran across a video recently of a guy that bought one. they used a snip of his video for promotion. Mobile Pe200x300 Stone Ore Rock Granite Jaw Crusher Machine - Buy Jaw Crusher,Stone Jaw Crusher,Jaw Crusher Machine Product on Alibaba.com The original video:

I cancelled Charter internet this summer when the local coop installed fiber and it was 5-10$ cheaper. The kid at the local store said you are paid up until such date bring your equipment end on or before that date. I did. I should have gotten it in writing. That was June. I made sure and got a...

Update on my previous post the pto box was marked shipped a couple days ago and it's supposed to be here today but UPS is pulling that "it's loaded on a truck but not shown out for delivery"

Friend of mine, who was an HVAC repair/contractor for many years, suggested Rinnai tankless (propane) for my new cabin build. He put one in his own place and has been happy with it. The sad thing is tank heaters are about as expensive as tankless heaters unless you get the wiz bang wifi, smarter...

Yeah I ordered a PTO cover box for my brush cutter. I just checked and the CC has been charged but not a peep on when it will be shipped. I have a grapple I bought form them years ago and it's nicely made.
