I found a Stihl 261 chainsaw that way, just laying in the road. It looked like it had never been used with just a scuff on the casing from hitting the asphalt. I had no idea how to find (or verify) the rightful owner or claimee, so I just kept it. Stihls are sold everywhere, so it's difficult...

I got Starlink about a year ago. Now they're running fiber down my street. Supposed to have everyone hooked up by October. Figures! Just as I might be buying some property and moving. It looks like the Starlink gear will probably be needed at the next place though.

No experience with the models you're looking at. I have this model from Northern Tool and have been happy with it. PowerHorse 3000 2.0 gpm I appreciate the higher pressure and GPM for cleaning the house and patio's, but your needs might be different.

It's an Axis deer. A free ranging exotic in central TX. He walked out into the hay field as the rancher was rounding up hay bales. The rancher called me just as I was leaving our cabin to go hunt pigs, so I headed to the hay field instead. Exotic, so no season, permits or tags required...

The Viking served double duty this afternoon, helping me haul in this brute. This one won't be going to the train station though; it's going straight into my freezer and grill. These are some of the best eating you'll ever find.

This guy was too big for me to lift by myself, so, with the help of some old baling twine, I hauled him to the train station.

I used to tow an old aluminum Sundowner 2-horse slant w/rear tack with an F150 and 5.5 foot bed. I had an offset gooseneck to give additional cab clearance. It towed just fine.

Wow! That Cushman has a 1600lb payload. Probably doesn't tear up turf either.

My neighbor gave me a "free" Par Car electric golf cart a number of years ago. It was the most expensive free thing I've ever owned, because it needed batteries and a charger. My two young girls wore the snot out of that thing. It was pretty handy though, while it lasted. I don't think you...

I rode in a friends Polaris General the other weekend. It was appreciably quieter than my Yamaha Viking. But it's also more like a car interior, that probably helps dampen noise. I'm amazed at how smooth of a ride the Viking has though.

Completely agree. Quieter is more enjoyable to me. I have a stock F-250 crew cab long bed diesel. I have the younger generation constantly asking me if I plan to install a lift kit, change the exhaust or put aggressive tires on it. Heck no! The last thing I want is to have to lift things...

In some of my research, the Tracker 800 gets the nod as one of the quietest out there. I'm not sure where they're made, or if they're just a rebadge of another brand.

I learned there is a training course called "Stop the Bleed". It covers torniquets, applying pressure, packing a wound etc. It's given to first responders, teachers and anyone else that might be faced with a mass casualty event. I might see if I can find a place to take this course. I like...

Eddie, That's the problem with everywhere in TX right now, building everywhere. It's really changing the charm of many places in the state. Also, the property tax is becoming ridiculous. We're starting to consider OK for our retirement place, but we want to be near our kids in some respect.

I've always made it a point to be prepared. This also includes fire extinguishers and first aid/trauma kits. In my truck, I carry a self made first aid/trauma kit. Most first aid kits are loaded with bandaids, lotions and aspirin. I wanted a kit that was better suited for job site or outdoor...
