I can take a stab at this Kyle. Use this formula: Q = mcDT [Heat transferred = (mass) X (specific heat) X (temperature change)]. The specific heat for aluminum is 0.92 kJ / kg C Measure the mass in kilograms, use Celsius for the temp, and the result will be in kJ Use an online calculator...

Question, do you use the chemical injection part of the washer? It appears the white box is a part of that. If you were to take the soap injector components off, then your hose would screw into the unloader. The unloader is what is calling for pressure or shutoff. You could screw a cap onto...

Don, Post the make and model number of your pressure washer. I would be happy to do some sleuthing on your behalf. I really enjoy the challenge. :)

I was behind in reading this thread....saw where you earlier talked about having to lug that wood back to the barn. I thought to myself - Drew needs a set of pallet forks...the most used tractor implement that I own. But I read further and notice this post and you have pallet forks......I have a...

Drew You can pour a concrete curb down both sides of your drive for the asphalt to terminate to. Or pour a short "curb" and mortar paving brick down as the termination point. Either option, the finished elevation would be the same as your asphalt. Hundreds of images on google that will make...

Reminds me of a young dairy farmer I used to know. He'd milk at 10 in the morn and about 9 at night and all the old timers couldn't wait to get together to talk bad about him. He knew and could care less. It fit his lifestyle and the cows didn't care a bit as long as they got milked twice a day...

Now that's funny!

I am a big fan of Amazon Prime, so on your behalf I checked prices and availability. 18' lengths of fresh garland started at $50 plus shipping. Wouldn't wait too long, their stock was getting low. Neither were Prime, so you have to pay shipping. 18' is 15 pounds, expedited will add a chunk to...

Might look at the Taurus Judge, a 5 shot revolver that's chambered for .410 shotgun shell / .45 Colt. Gives you tremendous flexibility. Here's a bench review of the gun http://youtu.be/qRlry5KH6I0 and manufacturers site Taurus 4510PLYFS Revolver | .410 GA. / .45 LC 5 Rounds Stainless Steel...

OUCH!!! If you have a Dremel, use the drill bit at a slow RPM and take care of it yourself. INSTANT relief!!

Back in my bachelor days, I worked for a dealer of wood burning stoves. Good sized operation with two Denver locations. The main showroom location had six air tight wood burners as the main source of heat. The smaller location had two. Quite a chore every morning building the fires and getting...

RNG I am going to agree with your neighbor- looks like bear to me. Seems like I can see a 5th toe in a couple of pics. A mountain lion's print from heal to toe is about 4"...these prints look oblong like a hind print of a bear. Either one would be cause for packing heat!! I imagine the smoke...

I tried Dashlane for password for several months, and I didn't care for it. I suspect our internet service is more to blame. Our connection speed is supposed to be 20mb down and 5 up, but we suffer from long term connectivity issues that Comcrud hasn't been able to diagnose in 5 years (I lost...

We have rabbits galore. I usually have no idea where their birthing nest / burrow is until I hit it with the mower. I hate that, little bunnies all maimed, some still alive. However this year we saw a momma bunny making a nest out in front of the house. The grandkids had a blast watching the...

FOR ALL EPI PEN USERS - I hope you find this helpful. This is supposedly the only long term study done on storage of epi pens. Long-term stability of epinephrine dispensed in unsealed syringes for the first-aid treatment of anaphylaxis Annals of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology Volume 102, Issue...
