Anyone remember the combinaion to my container of coffee beans?

Not as for CARDIAC health. lol

I talk to friends who get their world view from MSM. They rarely have any clue what I am talking about. Things not favourible to the narrative simply aren't being presented to them, at all. You don't realize this at all, if you aren't looking elsewhere. If you only listen to the FORD...

I urge you to look for yourself. Explore alternative media/platforms and the evidence of hypocracy and censorship is ABUNDANT. Amazon banned Dr. Seuss but you can still buy Mein Kampf! That is the level of hypocracy that exists.

https://www.fox7austin.com/news/13-of-25-suv-passengers-killed-several-injured-in-mass-casualty-crash-near-us-mexico-border Holy crap! Does hauling 25 people in an SUV constitute wrong?

Just for starters. Where did the word "ENTIRE" ever come from? That ONE word YOU inserted into what I supposedy wrote, VASTLY changes what I said. The Feces Book, twitter and Googles have no problem at all with people advocating the "killing" of trump supporters. No removing of posts or...

That is TOTALLY UNTRUE! ALL the established media platforms are almost TOTALLY censored for what you can and can't say. And the level and political oriented nature of what is allowed and not, is mind blowing in it's hypocracy. You can even talk about KILLING one group of people (No issue wth...

That's what I thought of. Had a Gravely PRO 12 with steering sulky. Given uneven terrain, those three handles would come down as much as two feet or so, in a fraction of a second and you better not have any part of your body in the way.

Why do you think there is a push for all this censorship? It's possibly worse than the Soviet Union ever was. MSM working in lock step to deliver the official narrative. They simply can't go about their Evil deeds with TRUTH leaking out and being discussed all over the place. As far as the...

I wish people would be little more able to project the Governments intentions, when such laws are passed. You know some guy got charged for removing a LEO placed tracking device he found on his car?

Can't say I like the lack of options for adding pictures. Can't you mingle them with text? I don't like my names showing for the pics either.

Ten messages left for women on POF and not one reply.

Redundancy is ALWAYS a sweet option to have. Especially when there is a bit of overlap in capability.

That was the first thing that screwed me on the III. I wanted to record programs on VHS for my DAD. I have seen the icons wiggle on my I-Phone and just alwys figured it was just time to call it a night. Thanks for the info.

That has to be a setup. I gotta say though, there have been times in my life when that could have been me for real. Some days there just aren't enough pumpkins. For starters, what delivery guy walks blindly with packages blocking his vision? How long until he would have the inevitable...

I don't think all this Bad stuff is any worse than it ever was. Just there is so much communication, so many cell phone cameras. If you were crooked before but had the favour of media, well then you were safe. It was all neatly sewn up. And the general mindset was to not even doubt the...

Almost seems that the only ones that didn't do anything wrong were those that had no power structure within to operate.

My Dad had a 72 Delta 88. I got it around 79, then bought another car, and his GF drove it down in PA for a while. Finally it came back, and we put a wooden flatbed on it and used it around the farm for a few years but it wasn't very practical. Kind of like trying to find an old friend a job...

I once bought a girlfriend a model of a Corvette when in my Teens. She has been contacting me, after being married for almost thirty years and now divorced. I forgot all about the model and have to ask if she kept it. That took a lot of work to assemble! lol Women are FUN when you know what...

Funny how few institutions, governments, teams, churches, parties, clubs, what have you, can stand up to any scrutiny. Sad state of affairs.

How does it compare to Chromecast, if all you are interested in is Youtube? I'm so fearful of getting sucked into yet another technology trap. Buy something new, that is supposed to be GREAT, yet won't allow things I have come to expect and won't work with this, that and the other thing. I...

Seems a lot of people are "Discovering" technology traps.

I go into places I don't normally visit and am often surprised to see some new CUT I never knew they had. Not too many do it yourselfers, or get your hands dirty kind of people, but I'm guessing they don't like waiting for the Farmer wth the snowblower to show up, whenever.

Thank Goodness few or none of those thousands of homeless people living on top of each other in the streets, died of Covid.

Sounds more like the hunters around here. Grampa hunted there, and Pa hunted there, so we fixin to hunt there too.

Nothing like owning your own park. Maybe even more so recently than ever. Forget what's going on in the rest of the world. Feels good when people pull in here thinking it was a conservaion area. lol

A man who understands how it all works. Too many men, think Roger should have bought Cheryl Flowers. Maybe a new car if they didn't work.

"Forgiving you was easy, but forgetting seems to take the longest time" Willy Nelson.

I loaded some heavy concrete steps onto a trailer a while ago wih a cheapie 2000# winch doubled up. Every inch that it got closer to being properly on the trailer was an accomplishment and closer to the goal, so speed was of no concern. Just happy to get it there. Or unstuck as the case may...

Nothing a sane woman desires more than to "win" the love of her man, so let her keep trying. Nothing a sane woman loaths more than a man begging for her love and approval.

We used to buy the cheap Aquilla .22 by the thousands. We were both annoyed and thrilled when they would blow out at the Rim! That would be hard not to tell the cops your story, if you were convinced you were in the right. Been there, done that to my detrement in a much less serious matter...

If it's by weight, don't forget to fill her up with Ethyl, I mean WATER.

PUTIN. I am not judging you. I am sending you to the one that will. No idea what context this was in, but I like it.

You also get to pay the increase in "services" that use fuel. Ambulances, Police, Social Workers, Military, Needle Vans and so forth.

Actually, the BEST way is for a guy just to disappear. If you were really wrong, admit it "ONCE" and apologize. That should be the end of it. If not, maybe disappear for good. ALWAYS let a woman believe that she loves you more than you do her. You will have a much more enjoyable relationship.

And??? In those circles, I don't think the CASH was just put in a mattress, waiting for the rightful owner to claim it. To me, it's always a RED FLAG when a guy that is in a certain business has no resources of his own. Either a neverdowell looser or scheister.

Back on TOPIC. Can anything be worse for a guy, when his Wife suggests they get rid of his pickup in favour of a minivan?

That's when it's best just to lie and tell her she's going to a "happier place".

We burn all manner of downed wood. Sometimes you get wood that is dry and weightless like balsa wood. Not even worth handling. I always kid, that we should sell that as "PREMIUM, EXTRA DRY, or TRIPPLE DRIED CAMP FIRE WOOD". Ask a buck or two more than the usual $5.00/little bundle at the...

I feel sad that my Lady Friend doesn't Thank her old cars for their good service prior to trading them. And she's generally such a giving person!

Thanks. I don't have any accounts and never bought/got anything off the Ap store. I would be willing to buy a version 4 if I could return it if not happy, or some unforseen and unwanted complication presents itself. I do miss the APPLE TV/Youtube much! Kind of nice having interesting stuff...

Yeah, but you don't have to worry about the imminent threat that was posed by Dr. Seauss or Mr. Potatoe Head! I notice I'm shaking less already.

I always hated how the cops scream at perps. But I think I understand it now. Yes, partly to intimidate, but I think also and maybe even more importantly to expell and refocus a great amount of anxiety and "FEAR". Maybe the cops had been watching too many movies and were holding their sidearm...

Probably some training in weapons tactics might be more important than your choice of a weapon. Reminds me of one scary guy I knew with a Milliary and possibly SOF background. Told me to aim for that spot just under ones nose, above the lip! Maybe someone here could chime in as to what the...

The "Forestry Management" outfits and the "loggers/mills" seem thick as thieves here.

I really know very few people that I would want to be armed along with me in a life and death situation. And not a one, that I currently spend any in-person time with. One can daydream about protecting themselves and their loved ones all they want I guess, because they own some scary firearms...

"CAN" shoot and being AVID enthusiasts of firearms are two TOTALLY different things. BIG DIFFERENCE between someone who would rather not discharge a firearm and someone just itching to pull the trigger. Like "Make My Day" already! lol

Felled lots of trees with a rope. Make it long and srong enough and keep up the tension as it begins to fall. Never forget that old Elm tree with my Dad and a brand new tractor in 73. Sixty foot tree and 30 feet of chain. Too lazy to get more. Oh it won't hit the tractor. I do like a...

NICE. Funny. I had a dream about an 870 last night. PROBLEM is, is your wife or daughter going to weild that weapon with as much enthusiasm as you?

Many business have their own little or big way to maximize profits. I was once at a butcher I spoke with at length. Ordered some T-Bones and I asked why he left a strip of white fat on the meat. He just grinned and said "PROFIT".

I have been in a few. Like sharing a dumpster with a lawn mower basically. As far as a modern cab. I can see some applications. However, I like Nature. I like some hot and cold, wind and snow. As far as I am concerned enjoying nature has nothing to do with riding around in some Pope Mobile...

No different (around here) than getting a load of something on a dump truck. Climb up, take a look and ASK QUESTIONS. he people not asking any questions are gonna be the first to get fleeced.

NOTHING IS FREE! I hate even responding to people with FREE "JUNK" E-Mail accounts.

A lot of power is required to negotiate snow. Tha means NOISE in some way. Not very conducive to enjoying nature.

It's not that anybody cares. It's all automatic. BUT, if someone took to caring, there would be a lot of data there for them to look over. It could also probably be selectively sorted to present a totally wrong picture, if that was the intent.

Met a guy many years ago in PA. He had a 10 Gauge Pistol and .410 antique walking cane.

I find it maybe a bit naive, when people think they can choose privacy in "settings". Call me Paranoid, but I still think people with VPN are the ones being focused on. What a wonderful system to tell BIG BROTHER who is doing something they would like to hide.

I'm in the same boat. Just too much money and another thing to spend money on for repair, plus the hassle and storage. Plus, you get older and the time between putting them on and taking them off is the blink of an eye.

People also may not realize that the seals doing the work are inside the cylinder. What you see on the outside is only meant to keep out dust and water.

If the SEHTF I would welcome pretty much any firearm in my hands. It's not me I am worried about. It's everyone else. I know very few non-gun-enthusiasts (If Any) who I would expect to behave appropriately, whether it's firearm operation or terminating a threat. You put a firearm into their...

That would be my guess too. You just noticed the worn out TD.

Curious, I thought Law Enforcment can't unlock your phone and there were cases where Apple wouldn't help them. Guy gets detained by Police as he is filming Illegally parked cars in and around Police Station. They take his phone, but let him go. What are the laws about your phone and it's...

Really? How? I got messages through Feb that warned of the END for this version with Youtube.

Might be cheaper to buy some used commercial gear off E-Bay.

Decidedly Inconvenient time for your semi auto to start "Slam Firing"

Years ago, Neighbor of mine my age, around 14 or so, always had plenty of pocket money. Used to go to the laundromat a few hundred feet away and fish quarters out of the soap venting machine with a magnet and a wire. I must say. I always seemed to meet the most interesting and ambitious people.

Ever see a tapering tower that someone put a level on one or more legs without making the correction? Mentioned it before. I can't drill a hole plumb or level to save my life.

If you can use it on your hoo haw, I don't think it's gonna swell any seals. I will never forget an old appliance man that came to install my Maytag washer. He imparted this great secret of how he applies vaseline to the hose washers. He asked me for MY vaseline and related a story of some...

Agree. That is a lot to stick in pipe. Just the work to get the wire in the pipe/hose. I have this probably ten thousand foot roll of really thin plastic pipe, maybe 5/8 ID, that looks more like heatshrink and was used to install post tensioning strand in concrete structures. But I often...

Been using the Apple TV to access Youtube for years. Enjoyed what YT offered up, in videos and music, sometimes it seems remembering what I wached years ago, despite me never having logged in once or created an account, not like or disliked anything. So, what's the new offering? Hate to buy a...

I bet deer aren't lazy. They probably know where it's safer to travel. Not like they can go to the ER if they break a leg, or poke out an eye. I blazed a trail through deep snow to the back of the property recently. Amazing to see the wildlife traffic, evidenced by the tracks. Makes me feel...

Municipality here tar and chips some roads here that demand "special attention" but not to the extent and expense of paving. They drive nice if you ask me. As for my 1000 driveway. The cost to dig out all the organic material and build a proper base, so the ashphalt will last, would be...

Would possible be suseptible to getting sheared off. Then you could really be in a world of hurt! My Steiner has such a valve, but it's buried where it can't get hit. My main goal when I change oil, is to keep environental contamination to a mininum and keep as few articles getting oily as...

"Most Secure System Ever" lol

Getting ripped off by the Forestry Cutting Industry has been a pretty much established fact around here as long as I can remember. My Dad once made the acquaintence of such people, back in the 70s, who also sidelined in ARSON! I attended the trial. They were never convicted in our local case...

I have not had a chance to look into them. Diesel? Make? Transmission type?

I use old roasting pans for a bunch of stuff. Higher quality than some purpose made pans. PRINCESS. Best thing is "No Sale Is FINAL!" I have returned a recon Remington Elect. Chain Saw after five or so years. Realized I never used it and didn't like it.

For the expense and bother, you could almost put that much firewood under each arm. Sorry about poor scanned polaroid pic. THIS is a GOOD load of wood!

I HATE to admit it. I can't remember the last time I walked one of my trails, except to trim all those nasty encroaching branches. That's the worst part. Keeping them at bay.

COOL, but my cut off blue barrel didn't cost 200 bucks.

If I did it, I would certainly put it in a 1/2" pvc pipe.

Years ago (in the 80s) I read an article. More people died of .22 rounds than any other and most died within 48 hours. If you want your assailant to languish a bit, and not get off so easy, maybe .22 isn't a bad choice. AND you save money!

I like them too and wish the cats would leave them alone! They are friggin stupid though. Chirping and carrying on, letting every cat for a mile know they are there. One, once came up the brick wall and into my Moms 11th floor condo. The cat was on it in an instant and my Mom was mortified.

Get out some religeous literature and invite him in.

YES, definitely, but it has to be extraordinary. More than a little three dollar Pizzo horn. Seen the skid marks in the driveway of perps leaving some of my protected sites.

We always shot at stuff to see what would happen. Got stuff at the dump, destroyed it and took it back, often in the middle of the night. I can't say I was ever impressed with 45ACP.

But, Where's GRAMMAS house in all that?

WE ARE SPEEDING DOWN THAT ROAD. WAKE UP! I am not a normal consumer. So they don't bombard me because I looked at something. That wouldn't even bother me. But having ones every move tracked and probably recorded like some wild animal with a radio collar, bothers me. Having every text...

Start with hawking her jewelry. Then the shoes at one of those consignment thrift sores. Massey! How dare she even think about it..

God help you if they come for the firearm and see a Dr. Seuss Book on the coffee table! You'd be tazzered and taken off for re-education!

How thick, what grade?

Just let's say, they happen to change a law that suddenly makes you a criminal? Not that "THEY" would ever do something like that. YOU could even suddenly be labelled and sought as a DOMESTIC TERRORIST"

Snakes give me the eebeee jeebies too, but I have come to love and respect all wildlife. I came across a snake with a frog in it's mouth, half swallowed and I was at a loss what to do? Can't remember what I did.

I have this harley rake and have fields as the op describes that I would like smoothed out. It would not be my tool of choice. It would be an unholly mess of sod, rocks and clods. I would run a disk over it a few times before using the Harley, IF that was my plan anyways. You can only...

You pretty much need some decent locating equipment. If the ground is damp and any signal you put on the wire leaks into the ground, it could be a real challenge to find the break.

Now your talking my language. YES, a UTILITY vehicle! Gotta love the extra space on the hood. Ever fill up the back with firewood and have no place to put your saw, oil and gas?

Was watching something on personal digital security. If you have a phone and credit/debit cards you really can't hide. Virtually impossible. If they can't find you via GPS, they can find you through triangulation, and then where you used your cards. Good reason to KEEP a CASH SYSTEM.

Read that Texas Authorites are forgiving Dyed Diesel in Road Vehicles during this emergency . How Generous!

I was thinking about getting one. Got the tractor stuck atop a snow mound recently. Using a chain and the curl of the backhoe got it out, but it took ten back and forth operations (alone) an inch at a time. Stored energy strap would have been nice. Love all that plastic junk hanging off the...

I got an old cut down blue(45gal) barrel from a neighbor that they had used for weeds in the garden. I drilled a hole in it at the bottom and put in a 1/4" pipe fitting to empty it.

I have probably seen every video. Never seen a hint of "kid stuff" around. And his relationship with his dogs, kind of makes be think he doesn't have a kid.

You think an insurance company is going to give you a break? Say someone sticks their tongue onto the steel in the terrible cold, and looses a tongue. Imagine the lawsuite.

Sure! Enough of them. Maybe that is where a tractor has an advantage over a car. Weight is GOOD. Space maybe not such a big issue. Cost, IS the issue.

Must be the newer larger machines. My machine only has a thousand hours or so, so not exactly worn out. I would defy anyone to fill a slip scoop bucket from a pile with anything more dense than wood ships. YES, it hs impressive pushing power for it's size. You can dig with it as you move...

Man, there is no substitute for QUALITY! I'm surprised it's not 1200 RPMs. Thanks for the treat.

Oh, come on. If that were true, he wouldn't have anything and be living out of the trunk of a twenty year old car. But I have no doubt he completely reads and understands the manuals of all equipment he buys prior to operation.

I guess I own one of those. Who knew? I got my PQ used, I hope this part is good for a while. Makes no sense to me from what I can see, why this would disable the movement of the machine.

Slip Scoop. With virtually no break out ability on the scoop, having a loader would be a bigger joke still , on THIS machine. I gotta say, I practically hated this machine when I first got it. Maybe I was expecting something different. But it has grown on me and has become part of the...

I'm just waiting for someone to say they used the wifes pantyhose as a drive belt to get out of the woods. Remember that old story?

My Steiner won't barely lift out of a loose pile of material. And the lift height or total lack thereof has often been an issue, but hey, I have larger equipment. I have a Kubota Diesel. It's rough, noisy, lacks power, and is a hard starter if not plugged in. I still like it despite that. I...

It may just come to light you have Dr. Seuss Books that you "forgot" to take to the book burning!

Just watched another WTC 7 documentary. Firefighters for 911 TRUTH. Almost made me cry, the terrible corruption in our Governments.

My house is heated (sort of) but I have to watch the Lady Friend constantly Shivering. I find i difficult to watch someone in physical discomfort. It's what I kind of thought of with Andrew. Maybe OK for him. But what about a partner?

Labour cost goes far beyond the hours to build whatever. Like someone said, paying employees that are retired, and oh yeah "injured'. An old friend at Ford Oakville Assy plant, says they would stick a hardened punch in the assembly line chain, shutting it down and it would take a long time to...

Who needs a bumpstock when you have Parkinsons? Maybe they will outlaw that too. Something positive.

I think you can get them at Digikey. A GREAT company to do business with. I bought some for the servos on a CNC press brake. I am having a hard time thinking of the name. EDIT: Looking in an old catalogue. I don't know how I ever found the right connector. I have no doubt they have yours...

Maybe I wasn't very clear. Yes the stuff is black. I like black. Very Utilitarian. It's the shape of the plastic that's offensive to my senses. Kind of like a childs wagon today. All this horrible chunky plastic. I guess the shape of it to make up for the lack of strength. I still have...

Keep black tape over the lenses of your phone camera too. Wish I knew how to deactivate the mic but still use the phone.

It gets expensive. Good chance the guy won't have the part he needs and have to come back. Good chance, he comes back with the wrong part or it didn't fix the problem. Some customers don't think they should have to pay for that. I have seen this on the mobile techs from big name...

This thread made me remember, back a long time ago. I had a system that would mount a Mossberg 500,( less stock) to the underside of an AR. Kind of like to mimmick an M203. Now, there's your perfect home defense weapon!

Not really. I just know what "I" like and what "I" don't. And forums are for our opinions. I end up with a lot of stuff in my life I really like or at least let pass, and don't compromise much, if at all. Not with stuff and not with a woman. Besides if you are not accutely aware of the...

Why all that horrible cheap looking black plastic all over these UTVs? There are no clean lines on any of these. All, just stubby short, blotchy plastic contraptions. I said it before. There should be Utility machines and "SPORT/Dunebuggy" style machines each with a different designations.

They are even outlawing the sale of air soft guns here that replicate military firearms. Hardly much matters anymore. Storage requirements for guns and ammo make it impossible to have a firearm "legally" ready for use.

"Not Want Too" That never seems to be the problem. My Mom has had numerous accidents and done all kinds of damage to her car otherwise. Her life would be severely impacted by taking away her car. But she "they" never care about how they may impact someone eles life.

.22 (rimfire) semi is too likely to jam up/misfeed. Not something I would trust for life/death. Friend (years ago) had to have a SPAS 12 (because the terminator had one lol) . Remember he got a tiny bit of dirt in the bbl and blew off the choke! Do they still offer that in the USA or the...

My thinking, better a blower on gravel than anything else.

That was the same gearbox I destroyed, just had a round deck mounted to it.

If I ever get a Genie lift, I pretty much decided it has to be 45 foot. Much less, isn't worth getting. Often you loose height to get close to what you have to get at.

NICE HOOSTERGUN! They say point men in Nam often choose a 12 gauge. That says womthing right there.

I thought he was at max height, and I thought of it's limitations at that point. I think he just wanted to "PLAY", because there was no need to trim that tree to bring it down. Sad, that his playing cost damage to his newest toy. Been there done that too! Not only that, but the whole...

I have a Mossburg 500, with different barrrels, but really always wished I had an R 870. The 500 always struck me as a cheap budget SG. Mix up some nice Malaysian (sp?) loads. My biggest concern for family members is them being afraid to discharge the weapon for fear of recoil, noise...

I have one of those bolt on tooth bars for my slip scoop. For my Steiner 430 with no breakout force to speak of, I found the teeth made a world of difference. I have a V Blade and Blower, Both work very well in snow. I would never consider using the slip scoop, as it is too narrow and has no...

Can a spear gun avoid any of the current laws, hurtles and possible future confiscation?

I don't understand the picture and marking at all. How about a textile to support the road? I had a similar problem and thought wood chips, seriously under-estimating the number of trees and WORK involved in chipping them.

Some more pictures of that second enclosed rig in snow would be appreciated. I would love to know some experience of the early Mule 2510 Diesels and peoples long term experience/costs. My 2001 doesn't have a thousand hours yet. No one ever mentions a word about the costs associated with ATVs...

I have always wondered that too. Maybe the lubricity isn't as good. You can fix that by adding some. I do anyway, ALWAYS. Protecting Injector and pump from these low sulpher diesels. Check on that before you do it for emmisions stuff. I don't have any.

Kind of like trying to change the drivers side low beam bulb on my 08 Sierra. GM basically says to take the front of the truck off! They "could" have made the process easy, but elected not to.

My Dad made a financial contribution towards the Mule. After I got it, I took him on a jaunt around the farm with maybe four inches of snow on the ground. After a while, I could smell the belt smoking. Switched to low. Changing the belt on my Diesel 2510 is not a job I would wish on anyone...

I saw the owner of ODG playing with this Diesel prototype (Rugarini 2cyl air cooled) at an Enduro, and hounded the poor man relentlessly for years until he sold it to me. The charging system was inappropriate on the OEM engine to run the cooling fan for the brakes so I put on a GM alternator...

One trouble with the ARGO was the temendous amount of power needed to turn an 8wd long vehicle in snow. Push all that snow sideways. The Dif/disk brake transmission was not up to the task.

Thanks for that link. OF COURSE, Wood will ALWAYS fall where it does the most damage. First rule. Get any equipment twice as far away as you think is safely out of harms way! It would scare me a bit that the thing was home built. I would have put larger pads under those stabilizers. Maybe...

Interesting. Thanks. I suppose it's often a case of do you NEED to get somewhere through snow, with some carrying capacity? Or, as in my case, I wouldn't mind getting to parts of the property in the winter, but don't have too. So the bother of Re&Re and COST comes into play. I had an...

I guess in order of importance for me, the question would be: How much time does it take to install and remove them? How durable are they? Are they prone to freezing up? If parked in an unheated building. How much power do they use (rob) to operate? Do you need to operate in low (on a Mule) or...

Does the dog side with you, let you sleep with him, when the whole system turns against you, or does he too abandon you and lock his door? Hope his name isn't Mich lol

I know it sounds stupid and selfish. But I too have just let a Diesel Engine Idle, just to hear it idle. I guess, like some stupid Biker, revving his throttle at a light.

Trying to get wild animals help around here is virtually impossible. Thanks to our WORTHLESS government! You are not allowed to help a wild animal. A vet isn't allowed to help a wild animal. and sanctuaries are few and far away, if they even answer their phone.

I have a Diesel Mule and Electric 2wd Gator. My dream ATV, would be an Electric 4WD, Utility Looking (Not all this plastic crap and decals) machine. Plus miles of suspension travel, not needed on a utility vehicle and a minimum of ground clearance. I can't stress how much I appreciate the...

OK Now I am confused. I was looking for a video of that tracked man lift. Incidentally, my Utility came across a snowy field with one and a small tracked crane to change my transformer last winter. So, I didn't find anything on the lift. But I did find a short interview with Andrew. Seems...

I THANK YOU sincerely from my heart. (I think I may have one)

Paint Code is kind of a moot point. Unless you are restoring the whole thing. Paint has faded. I have cruized many paint isles with a sample and done quite well finding a match. Lately, I have brought a sample of existing paint to the hardware store paint counter, had it scanned and had an...

Number one problems, humans just can't be honest. Many don't even recognise this fact. They are also never happy, and are rarely objective about what they are worth. I think a large company could be doing well in all regards and then the union wants more, or the sharholders want more. That's...

All Diesel and heating oil are the same here. Furnace and Of-Road come out of the same compartment on truck. Just dye in the Road stuff and all are sold with different taxes. I have heard that generator service non-dyed could be taxed differently again. Diesel has been here since 1972. Much...

What happened? Well for one, the life we have all enjoyed is coming to an end, quickly. What say you? Oh the paint on your "Chinese" tractor is fading? Oh, I'm so terribly sorry to hear that.

That sounds more like blackmail or extortion. Or at best, conceeding and taking a secondary position in mangement. Shop foreman maybe.

As popular as a turd in the punch bowl.

More than I could with a top end Ferrari and Rolex watch!

A friend once gave me a fifty or so pound machinists vice. Along with using other heavy steel, I have wrestled that thing in place to straighten all kinds of stuff. I hope you can visualize what I am talking about. I rarely ever use heat.

If you are like me, this is where the project would stall! Everything put in boxes until next week which then turns into ten years! lol

Some have accused me of being jealous which I steadfastly denied and indicated I would say if I was. OK, I'm sayin.

Questions like this are almost impossible to answer without knowing what resources and experience you have.

Given at least a modest degree of environmental awareness, I can't see letting machines idle over lunch. Did some math. To me Engine hours cost money. Running over just 1/2 hour lunch every day for a year is an extra needless 1oo hours. Probably several times that for other idling time...

I like the double ended container. I have a rather fancy woodshed with various bays, for different wood, like stove vs fireplace, YET still always plagued by the dry wood being buried at the back! I like your fire fighting resources.

I see nothing dangerous about it at all. Dito to what he "S" said. In fact, safer than felling a standing tree at this point. Had a Dead elm I cut get caught up in another dead elm a few weeks ago. Against some better judgment, I cut down the second tree. It was probably the most exciting...

My Dad wore cotton work gloves from his work (Steel Industry) , his whole life, nothing else. I guess I adopted that trait. Comfortable, some protection and some dexterity. They get wet, you hang them in front of the fireplace , and soon they are warm, dry and soft again. Other gloves...

I get that. I'm just not a fiddler. I like the information there in front of me. Like a clock on the wall. Not hold, this and press this four times kind of guy. lol I would like that graph up always, along with temp. I also notice there is no up or down arrow showing trends. Sure its -3.5...

Not really predictive. Well I guess if you want to know what to expect of the wind when you head out, it sort of is. As much as temp, wind is everything. From cutting trees, spraying, blowing snow, to folding a tarp or just going for a walk. No sense it reading 10KPH gust as you leave the...

I have got a pile of those plastic skids for free from my Pharma customers. They generally have to dispose of them. There are all different kinds. Some super heavy you can barely lift and other you can lift with a finger. The light ones can be great for processing firewood. You can cut into...

Kind of watching the Data from the nearby site for a few minutes. I have an issue right off the bat. So you want to see wind Data to know if it's safe to go outside. One minute it says 10KPH, gusting to 15, then a couple of minutes later 15, gusting to 25. Shouldn't it have some time window...

Tibadoe. AWSOME, THANKS. Made my day!

I guess anyone that has a weather enthusiast near them is quite lucky. I just clicked on the name of my local underground station and did get a lot more information. And the wind chill was working, but not on the abreviated page. Any way, I can change the temp to C? Doesn't mean much to me...

Why so much focus on retaining data? Sure, I wouldn't mind knowing how cold it got last night or how high the winds got during a storm, but beyond that, have no need or want of data being stored. Of course if you loose power during a storm and don't have backup going, you have nothing...

The Internet that comes in via radio at the tower goes into a Eithernet to 75 Ohm Coax Media Converter, and goes 500 feet down the hill to the house to be reconverted to Eithernet. I love the simplicity and robust nature of COAX. You can put way more information down a coax than CAT 5 or 6...

A starter and battery would only add weight. That in my mind is a no-win situation. The effort for a woman to start a leaf blower is momentary. The effort to carry a heavier one, is on going and results in fatigue and loss of interest in the job at hand.

My Kubota Loader has an emergency pull lever in case solenoid fails.

This late in the season, I just try and do as little as possible. No sense wasting time,machine hours and diesel fuel on stuff that hopefully will be gone in a few weeks on it's own. Not to mention doing further ground damage. It's not like I have an obligation like a snow removal contractor...

I have switched my Torpedo to Diesel. I wouldn't say it stinks really bad, but I can't say I use it much indoors. The VAL6 doesn't stink at all.

Well I screwed up. Stone cold! I had plugged in the diesel tank heater which I have never used. No doubt it would have started, but I would have felt foolish!

Actually a business that goes around and planes butcher block type surfaces in restaurant kitchens. Two other interesting projects were an ice melter for the City of Toronto with numerous Onan Diesel sets. It got scrapped for not being GREEN! And a mobile Billboard. Winds here died down...

I do have a Kerosene Ready Heater, Torpedo Style. Too noisy and I don't want all that air blowing around, just radiant heat. Then I have the MOTHER of all RADIANT Diesel Heaters. A VAL 6. Also noisy but meant for outside work or in very large areas. Was used on Film sets. It has melted my...

Nice. I would have preffered everything hard wired and no batteries, but you have to make concessions I guess. There is a shack at the tower site where I guess I would have to install a wireless router to communicate with the weather gear up the tower. What kind of money? Is it all inclusive...

Of course I have one of those Cab heaters. Why wouldn't I? lol I have never played with it. I kind of wanted radiant heat. I wanted to clean up the barn a bit and have a source of radiant heat. Just like I have a wood stove fire going in my garage with the door open. It just takes off the...

Friend says he installed a 20K 3 ph Onan in a truck to run a Planer. He "thinks" it was Kubota powered.

Sad how OEM wiring is always systematically destroyed and replaced with your typical Mechanics or DIYer style wiring, butt connectors and BLACK TAPE. Good solid tractor to pursue in this used category. We almost bought one in 72. Should have, but bought a cheaper off-shore tractor that came...

The price has been prohibitive for decades. Maybe four times the cost of Diesel. Maybe even more. Thanks I7. I read of of Gumming up the wick but no explanation. I wonder if alcohol addresses that issue. Judging by the tiny amount of wick available for consumption, I'm guessing the wick...

We had this one scary teacher in grade 7, that we were terrified of. Came as a real shock compared to the other teachers that left for nervous breakdowns (that's when Mr. Cobbledick Showed up) . This guy would tell us how he put his kids hands on the stove burner. Or, I just remember, how he...

Quite Interesting, Thanks for that. First one, no one really close. Second one closer but odd DATA. Says 12F and we have strong winds. Says Gusting 22MPH , but temp feels like the same 12F. Can you watch anyones Data on an AP, or do they have to allow/enable it? EDIT: There is actually a...

Here, someone like that would leave with a Golden Handshake and impressive Pension to look forward to. Maybe a Bonus or two as well. Little wonder things never improve when there is no accountability. Often even REWARD for corruption and criminality.

That was a far away wish! I had ones with Three Channels, and was hard pressed to come up with the money for the other two channels (four X-Tals) ! And which channel ????? Don't even get me started on trying to build a 1/4 wave ground plane with ski poles!

It was like good cop/bad cop in our family. My Mother was a pacifist.

Whoever stopped the car? My Dads free arm was plenty long enough to go flailing around in the back seat, looking to make contact.

I think that is correct. It couldn't be that hard to have the windspeed thing transmit on a higher than average speed gust. Or some crafty algorithm. The place I want my data collected is on a tower five hundred feet or so from the house, up a steep hill and through a pine forest. This is...

Trouble with rocks in a garden is everyone of them looks like a potatoe. I have an eight foot Harley Rock Rake, which is nice for making a lawn, but I wouldn't find it of any use in making a garden.

You sure that isn't Smyth? They are here in Ontario. I own a powered sweeper of theirs. Respectable quality but expensive. I think I looked into that many years ago when comtemplating a 110. It was considered that there simply isn't enough flow. It is a 4000 series tractor under that...

I'm guessing Isuzu. I have a 12KW. Smoothest Diesel I own! It should say on the Engine Valve Cover or nearby.

Found this new Video. Interesting as for the safety standpoint. Now, he says 3 Oz 90% alcohol for a gallon. that is starting to make more sense.

I should get the Link of the Canuck out East. Says less stink with Diesel/Alcohol I always think of a very early youtube video I saw, where someone pried open a car battery and it was jam packed with AA Cells! So, I like to verify information before just accepting anything.

Putting a CURSE on the device, would be just as effective. 👹

Funny. My "Best" friend is an Onan Commercial Generator dealer. It's where I get all my Oan Generators. But aside from getting stuff lying around, he never even bothers to entertain getting parts for me from Onan because he knows I won't like the price. NOT EVEN FILTERS! I put one starter...

Are you ready to mortgage the house? Best find the pump from the Engine Manufacturer. Or take it apart and put a bearing /seal in.

I have been getting one of these Early 80s style kerosene going. I thought I needed a new wick, but the one I bought almost twenty years ago now, is no longer than the one that came out. Seems they don't have a lot of wick length that can be utilized. Like 1/4" ! I would like to know about...
