    How hot can ammo be safely stored?

    I've just moved my ammo into a closed box trailer that is black in color. I'm afraid it is going to get pretty hot in there in the summer. It has roof vents, but they won't always be open. How hot can ammo, 357, 9mm, 5.56, etc, be and still be safe?

    Cocker Spaniels

    Do any of you have a Cocker Spaniel as a pet? If so, what can you tell me about their character and compatibility? Are they fun and good companions? Easy to train? Healthy? Any recommendations for breeders in the Bay Area?

    Looking for a good quality hand truck

    I'm looking for a quality and heavy duty hand truck for general use around the place. It must have flat free tires, no plastic rims and preferably larger tires that can roll on dirt or gravel. Probably about 500 lbs max carried weight, but almost always less, and able to do it without breaking...

    I've been building our new home for a while now and with winter coming it's time to get the solar running. House is all closed up, but not insulated. I have a 8" slab with 3/4" PEX on 12" centers throughout, including the garage. Four thermostats. I'm going to get it running on a temporary...

    Pulling the well pump

    Had to pull my friends well pump today. He came up with this roller and put it together on my tractor. It's a war surplus cable reel clamped to bucket forks. Works perfectly for pulling pumps with poly pipe.

    Sealing a concrete porch

    I have an 800 sq ft covered concrete porch that I need to seal before winter. It's about 4 years old now and at about 5,000 ft elevation. I'm afraid it will start spalling if I don't seal it. Do you guys know of a good sealer? I'm not sure about Thompsons and I don't want to epoxy coat it...

    Diesel tanks and tractor enamel?

    I have two 300 gallon heating oil tanks that I need to repaint. I'm going to sandblast and prime them first and am wondering if anyone has used the Tractor Supply, Tractor Enamel. They have in in Majic and Valspar. I'm thinking water base might not hold up as well if it gets some fuel on it...

    Sand blaster recommendation

    Do any of you have a recommendation for a good sand blaster? There seems to be a lot of brands. I've looked at Tractor Supply and Harbor Freight and a couple of other places. I have a 5 HP compressor and I am doing occasional steel fabrication. I also have two heating oil tanks that must be...

    Went exploring yesterday in our "back yard"

    Went for a spin with the dogs and went about 30 miles through the Pine Nut mountains. Up to about 9,000' It's finally getting nice out, but too soon for most of the greenery. We were looking for a lost trail connecting two canyons. We often see wild Mustangs, but not this trip, so I...

    Found a coyote, I think

    My neighbor was out walking behind our two places the other day and found a baby puppy just a few days old. It was in a burn area with no brush at about 5,000 ft elevation. She put it in a paper bag with a rag in the bottom and fed her a bit with an eye dropper, then called us to come see and...

    TC29DA won't start

    My tractor has been completely reliable. I shut it off this morning and came back this afternoon to move it and it would not start. The starter will not run. The battery is fully charged. The transmission levers are both in neutral and the seat safety has been bypassed for a couple of years...

    TC 29DA squeal

    I have a TC 29 DA with a manual tranny that has a very nasty squeal in, I think, the trans. At about 1000 to 1800 RPM or so, all of a sudden it starts and can be heard a ways away. Very annoying and sounds like a dry bearing. Won't do it in neutral, changes tone slightly when reved up and...
