Oh my gosh . . . "Illegal" to "harvest" rainwater??!! Kalifornia really needs to dry up and blow away. Rain falls on my property and I cannot do what I want with it? Does that apply to air, dew and sunlight? Time to move, dude.

Governments are more and more like banks: Nonsensical policies/rule/regulations. Think about it: Snow-melt (or, whatever liquid) is on the garage floor. So . . . It can go into a floor drain or the floor can be sloped toward the door(s) allowing the fluid to exit that way. And, it eventually...

Taking a risk is not the same as being careless. Some of you may be old enough to remember when BBs came in cardboard tubes. M80s and Silver Salutes were cardboard tubes filled with gunpowder. Boys being boys, sure, we married the two: If an M80 does this and a Silver Salute does that, what...

Is anyone else sick and tired of being sick and tired? If so, you know what to do. So, do it!

Electric may be the future. I like the idea of electric cars due to their performance. But, I also like the idea of nitro-methane dragsters for the same reason. I own/drive neither. For some idea as to the real cost of EVs (possibly, electric tractors as well), meaning the cost to EVERYONE, not...

Forgot I had this before/after photo of the Harbor Freight pole saw. Sort of a Big D and Little D thing, huh?

Gas? Generators. Vehicles. Tractors. Electric? Tools. I started with those Makita 9.6-volt tools. Nah. Went to 12-volt, 14.4 volt and, finally, 18-volt Ryobi in the blue battery days. Better. But, still Ni-Cads at the time. Then, Lithium. MUCH better in durability, performance and life span...

Speaking of stopping on such roads/shoulders: Given the number of videos we see of police officers and motorists being hit, by all sorts of vehicles, while stopped on the side of the road, why do people stop there? And, why don't police agencies get together to make it standard operating...

Here's my solution for the lack of a 12-volt outlet on my tractor. The adjustable stop in the adjacent control slot provided the mounting inspiration for this addition - It mounts with two clamps (nuts, bolts and washers) through two holes in the bottom of the enclosure. (No tractor drilling...

That coal fired versus solar/wind stat is as flawed as the Covid mandate stats were after those, who refused to comply, were fired! It's easy to claim high levels of acceptance/adoption when all of the non-accepters/non-adopters are excluded. Same with coal - Kalifornia has mandated the closure...

Carbon dioxide? You mean that stuff that has increased by 140 parts per million? The stuff that the climate, uh, 'exspurts' harp on? Yeah, it's gone way up. Increased by 0.014% of the atmosphere in 300 years. At the current rate, it will be up another 0.026% in 2123. A total of 680 parts per...

No, they are not worrying about nothing. First, there's the additional cost involved. Next could be the "mandate" that requires them for all fuel cans. Then, there will be the mandatory surrender of any non-compliant ones. Then, there will be the "show proof of ownership" requirement before...

As a former landlord, I sympathize with both sides. However, the tenants, in this case, have gone well beyond what is reasonable. Pest problems can be difficult to handle in occupied properties. Many times, the tenants bring the pests with them. But, that does not seem to be the case here...

Finally, after 40 posts, 3gunr opens the Mahindra NO REGEN door. I came across this thread at the 80 posts point and was determined to add the word "Mahindra" to the discussion only if someone hadn't already done so. However, with all of the thread-hijackers and side-trackers (Regen & Weight...

Obviously, YMMV . . . But, the $140 (delivered!) that I spent on a pair of clamp-on forks is likely the best money I've spent. They are 48" and are supposedly rated at 4,000 pounds. But, ratings are ratings and reality is reality. I'd say, maybe 2,000 pounds with a peace-of-mind limit of 1,000...
