    How big of a slab could I do by myself?

    That trust disappeared when I watched a crew remove the end form and have the concrete truck drive over the mesh so they didn't have to us their wheelbarrows. Wasn't going to hire that crew.

    How big of a slab could I do by myself?

    I save the cardboard from water heaters and other large appliances. When having appliances delivered the guys always seem to be happy to get rid of some large pieces of cardboard.

    Electricity Price Increases

    My knowledge of California is limited but I have to wonder why bother to produce more clean power to supply more and more people if there is not going to be enough water????

    Electricity Price Increases

    I had a similar charge on the natural gas bill for the month my rental townhouse was vacant. The total bill was for $28 for $2 worth of gas.

    Electricity Price Increases

    And it could be worse. Can you imagine what it would be like if the tariffs on Chinese electric cars should manically disappear?

    What have you done with/to your GC Series 2300, 2400, 1700 Tractor TODAY

    I've only washed mine once. That was after spreading a tandem load of manure that was dumped in the wrong place. I told the neighbour that if they wanted that done again, don't dump it blocking the only access point.

    Tires look brand new, but are 11 years old. Keep or discard?

    I admit to not noticing a low tire a few times before the TPMS notified me. Only once did I feel I needed to add air before arriving home.

    Who rides motorcycles?

    My recommendation for an older bike if you are likely to any amount of highway riding is a Suzuki DRZ400. A decent and reliable bike that is big enough to carry a passenger and/or ride the freeway while is still OK on easier trails. The newer 350's cost a lot of money. Most smaller bikes...

    12 States to ban diesel vehicles

    I was under the impression that a jake brake was a compression release used on a two stroke engine. Worked excellent on my old dirt bike. Modern trucks have an exhaust brake on four stroke engines that works very well on my 2024 F350 without being too noisy. Don't think two stroke diesels...

    Just can't get a good basic truck, like the old days!

    I'd be broke if I had to pay the California fees for cars. I need to get off my butt and get rid of some of them. Including parts cars, i currently have eighteen of them and I'm at the age where I will soon be unable to restore them.

    Just can't get a good basic truck, like the old days!

    I like vehicles with a leather interior so get stuck with all the gimmicks including a key fob. Apartment buildings can use a very small plastic fob without a battery. Why can't vehicles? My three summer vehicles have large fobs I don't want in my pocket. I long for the days when I had...
