The number I have consistently heard for too hot to touch is 130, not 120. As in you cannot hold your hand on a 130F surface without either getting a burn or just pulling away. Either way, even 120 is not going to be pleasant.

Exactly. I wouldn't want my tractor close enough to any trees I am felling to reach with hydraulic hoses. Murphy would say "thank you for tossing me a kitten ball across the plate!"

What's crying? the person or the kayak? 😁

Frontier and Ridgeline are in the same size class as th Ranger and Colorado. Bigger than Maverick and the Hyundai Santa Cruz which are the only subcompact pu's I am aware of

There's a meme floating around the interwebs that shows the pic and is captioned "Runs back to delete his browser history..."

The wood should fade into the background. You are displaying the bible, not the wood. Keep it simple and plain. Just about anything common without any wild grain will work. You mentioned walnut, cherry, oak, maple. Any will work. I might suggest walnut given how dark the bible is, so it won't...

Nylon is a great polymer. Very strong, tough, heat resistant and holds up to a lot of common chemicals, plus pretty cheap to make. The polyolefins like HDPE, LDPE are no where near as strong (though they are cheap and very chemical resistant). But...chemical resistance is not a big selling...

I wuz gonna say - there is no federal law saying you MUST put 5 gallons in a 5 gal jug... Instant 3 gal jug!😁

An EE guy at work that is a major tinkerer says it is cheap capacitors (or counterfeit ones) that are the cause of most all early failures in these. Interesting to know, but it doesn't really help as you can't replace most of them no matter how much you may want to...

If you're going to hire it out, call the local HVAC places and see what they say. Get a couple quotes. They will undoubtedly provide a suitable unit as part of the job.

5906 posts and you are yet still somehow unaware that you clearly need a second tractor?!?! Turn in your TBN card, sir! 🤪

I've posted it before, but this is the clamp I made for this,

Then you'll like this one from a small WI chain that has one nearby: :ROFLMAO: https://milwaukeeburgercompany.com/bloody_of_the_month/ I kinda doubt that anyone actually orders these as I suspect they are just for show, but their regular bloodys are awesome and they add a couple chunks of...
