I had Hughesnet and could barely keep basic services like email running. Maybe Roku has a large buffer to help with such a slow connection.

Sounds like you are making good progress. Maybe you are already doing this but doing some shopping about what property you want to transition into would also be helpful.

Can I do that with loaded tires? My rear tires are loaded with rimguard. If I remember correctly, recommended pressure is low, something like 10 pounds??

I think this is very wise. I paid extra $$ for the upgraded seat system in my Massey 1758 and Ventrac 4500Z. Because of back issues-- a wise choice. And even with the 8 large low pressure tires on the Ventrac, plus a seat cushion, I still get bumps where I go ... ahhhh. But although I paid for...

Maybe: "I don't have any of the problems *yet*? My last residential rental in CA is in Sacramento. It is rent-restricted like Ultra's is. (max rent increase of 5% annually no matter how much my costs might increase.) The County also collects a "rental property fee" for homes not owner occupied...

The CAT-powered 48hp Ferris mower has a MSRP of $38k. Based on feedback, I would be reluctant to purchase without actually trying it. Regulations have chased many of the mower offerings out of the market-- except battery models. And trying to mow 15 acres of tall weeds using a battery is...

Most likely a hold for spacing prior to arrival and landing. Are you still on track for a pup? Our pup's mom came up with a nipple problem so they treated it and covered it up. She is now short one nipple compared to pups-- so the pups have to play musical chairs to feed. The breeder is...

100 gallons. With 12V pump and meter for $200. A local company going out of business blew everything out. Full size pallet racking (complete) for $200 section. Indian backpack fire pumps $10 ea. 40F going to a windy 70F. We have SNOW forecast over the mountains this weekend. A bit unusual for...

That turns out to be an interesting question. I looked at every YouTube video about the mower. All of the demonstrations were operating it on short grass-- not quite like a pool table flat but pretty close. I did not see anything where it was put up against some rough terrain or high weeds...

Most sellers overvalue their personal residence due to emotional attachment and non-tangible factors. After all, it was what "they" chose to buy above all others, right? It is very difficult to be objective when you sell your own residence. I do understand the pull and tug of the intangible...

You have compression, spark, and (starter fluid) fuel. Valve problem? Sticking open?

I have about 15 acres of pasture. Gentle rolling hills, not steep except near the pond. Ranges from moderately smooth to bumpy. I'm considering a new mower-- admittedly perhaps a stupid overkill-- 48hp diesel zero turn mower. Ferris IS6200Z...

Maybe that is fair if you don't count the communist countries! 😃

It is. He was at Sac Executive airport the day I picked up the B-55. Should have taken time to meet him-- my bad!

It's easy to make that kind of comparison of a price "today" from what it was in the past. Long ago, in a fabulous neighborhood, I set the all-time highest price ever paid for a residential home in that area. Yes I paid top dollar. Oh how I wish I kept that beautiful property. You could easily...
