    Making Mugolio or Pine Syrup

    You have to report back when you've tried it. I am skeptical. I like maple syrup and had just had some a few days before a hunting trip. I was sitting in my stand when I saw a new glob of pine sap about ready to drop.... I thought, "why not, it has to be similar". Friends... It was not...

    Spartan Mower Spindle

    I've got a Spartan SRT-XD 72" zero turn and I noticed a bent spindle this weekend when I was getting it ready to mow. Have any of you replaced spindles or shafts? I wonder if there is an aftermarket spindle that is worth a hoot? They are pricy from Spartan. Just the shaft is about $65 and I...

    Car Insurance skyrocketing

    That is all too common though. I've had full coverage on my truck since 2013 and it's all beat up now. I'd get something small and just deal with it since the cost for the repair was less than deductible and it would not be that bad. Then it all started adding up...

    Solar Eclipse...

    We are in the totality path also. Have some friends coming from out of state to stay with us, so we took the day off work. A whole bunch of schools are closed for it around here. My work doesn't think it will be a big deal, we shall see.

    Car Insurance skyrocketing

    Mine is getting stupid again too. This is 6 months coverage. 500/1000 deductibles. The focus is liability only. But I do have 250,000/500,000 liability on all of them.

    Water pressure/ flow question

    Yes hot and cold. It was the closest one I could get a quick pic of. I had them add hot, cold and a drain on the back porch. I plan on putting a sink out there to use when I'm grilling. I'll hook it up in the summer and unhook it in the winter.

    Water pressure/ flow question

    I'll get a pressure guage and take the regulator up from the road side in the next couple of weekends. Do you know if this has a water saver in it?

    School me on PTO tiller use and depth adjustment

    I've got a John Deere 550 tiller. I have thought about taking the skids totally off... I imagine it would be fine for a while.

    Water pressure/ flow question

    I'm good on code and I own both regulators. I would guess 10' or less rise over about a 425' run.

    Water pressure/ flow question

    I was also stumped that they put another regulator in line. Is it better to keep the one at the road or the one at the house. The one at the house is easier to get to and I wouldn't have to worry about my service line if I keep the one at the road.

    Chainsaw Scabbard.. Show Me Yours....

    I went with the "budget friendly" version. If you are able to zoom in on my roll cage I've got a piece of 4" PVC that I heated and flattened. Couple of hose clamps to attach it and It has been working well for a couple of years. 752387

    Beekeeping

    I went through mine yesterday. I confirmed only 1 hive survived the winter. But man if it's not bursting at the seams. Has at least 50 pounds of honey, lots of bees, and lots of brood. I took in all the woodenware and will get it all ready to go for splits or swarms. I've seen several around me...

    Need a new(er) truck.... Maybe?

    My lone experience with diesel trucks was my '08 F-250 with the 6.4L. I got 12-14mpg empty and 8 pulling a trailer. Which is exactly what I got when I change over to a V-10 gas Dodge 2500. I guess they got better.

    Clearing weeds in driveway

    I did that twice. Never again. I too had high hopes. It was hot, slow, and expensive. A tank of propane does not go as far as you would expect. Then to top it all off I think the grass grew better after.

    Beekeeping

    Now that I have my house and shop built. I may ask you for some pointers and plans for your horizontal hives. I will still be spending a lot of time getting the property the way I want it and getting the shop set up this year. So I'm not planning on being able to do much in the way of other...
