Paid $5.89 a doza 2 days ago. Reg gas $2.55 gal

I was shooting my 22 pistol at a rifle range and a guy
handed me his 45 I though that it was a 22 shooting
it couldn't tell the difference.

For those who had surgery VIT K will help heal you with
quicker results

The motor mouths that talk about climate change must
spend too much time in the FRUIT SECTION!

Well, I broke down and bought a little nicer truck than I've ever had. Bought it used with 118k miles. It is in really clean condition and looks like it had not seen much work in it's 7 year lifespan. The hooks where you put safety chains on the rear look like they have never seen a chain on them.

It is the 5.0L Cummins Turbo Diesel and tows over 12k. It's a 2016 Nissan Titan XD Platinum, the XD has been upgraded to haul more. It didn't come with books so I'll be looking up the owner manual or ordering one.

I've never owned a diesel car/truck so will be learning what not to do or to do. I almost put gas in it tonight, I know not to do that ;)

Bought this pre upcoming tarrifs.
This is the second time I purchase a product from this Chinese Brand "VEVOR" and both times I have been impressed that the items were not junk.

The heavy 94 lbs. round bail speer I assembled was thankfully well packaged as the shipping box went thru hell. All Parts and hardware were still in the box. The spears were attached to the frame with 3 stainless hose clamps.
I looled at the same bail speer on TEMU. It was $50 less than the VEVOR branded item. I decided to purchace the VEVOR brand thru Amazon because although the basic bail speer most likely all come from the same slave shop in China, the hardware with the VEVOR brand was so much better than the no name from TEMU. The hardware actualy looked safe to use. Plus If it was junk, Amazon would eat it.


The other item I bought from VEVOR were adjustable width 1/2 ladder racks for my Titan Pickup truck to carry ladders, lumbers, a canoe, etc with the short 5.5' bed.


Also picked this up for $66.99 just to try after watching video on you tube. I also have a Lincoln MIG welder.

I've made 4 or 5 purchases of Vevor, either through Amazon, or directly from the Vevor site. Been mostly happy with all, and for the price, you can't argue. The 7x14 mini lathe had been a bit of a lemon, but at like $299, I dont feel cheated.

TEMU, only made 1 order of 3 things, and was unhappy with all 3. Rain proof camo hunting pants and jacket were pajamas.... The drone, although very very cheap, has a constant drift, which, although it flies and takes video, basically makes it unusable.

Vevor, clamp on bucket forks, a galv raised garden planter, a 4 in 1 Welder, ect all have been not just fine, they have been Good, at Way less money

VEVOR is most likely Chinese maybe with US backing, that seems sort of a Harbor Freight internet type store. I think thet repackage or spec products so what they offer is good value and not junk. I think they understand establishing a brand name and being in it for the long haul will pay off.
I hope the tarrifs will kill TEMU, etc.
Harbor freight understands that their future is to offer value, not junk, though you can still buy junk there.
Suspect price of tools and stuff will increase, and this will spawn USA investments.

Swapped my Big Tex 14GX GN scissor lift for a 14TD hydraulic ram bumper pull. Better lifting capacity and easier for the old man in me to hook up. Here I am dumping 6 yards of sandy loam. Even a tad overloaded at 12,000#, rated for 11,200#, it dumped just fine.

It doesn't count, but 18 y/o son bought a 1993 Nissian hardbody D21 pick up, 2.4L, king cab, 5 speed stuck, 2wd, Sunday. Now... this was his move, and gets it home and the vacuum lines and electronics... about a dozen wires are cut or hanging, carbon canisters removed, few other things, and vacuum hoses laying everywhere.

Him and his friend are trying to figure out how to get it run more than 5 seconds, and I told him, basically gonna half to trace out each wire and vacuum line, ID it, and replace or delete. I dont think he knew what he was getting into.
