    TODAY'S GUN TIME

    Sigarms, over the decades I have owned dozens of guns and at least 15 calibers. I started downsizing 15 years ago. You are right...most calibers are "useless"...by that I mean another caliber will do the job just as well. My calibers are: .22 LR .223 for SHTF and varmints .308 for SHTF and...

    TODAY'S GUN TIME

    I have never understood a bolt gun in .300 BO. I have .308's (and this applies to any "real" .30 cal) and can produce handloads that offer the same anemic performance as a .300 BO. I suppose if someone does not reload it has a place.

    TODAY'S GUN TIME

    Staple some landscape cloth or window screen to the bottom to avoid wasp nests. I learned the hard way.

    Can a Zero Turn mow high weeds in a bumpy pasture?

    A lawn mower is not a bush hog or flail mower.

    I wonder how much it cost to add those solar cells to get 10 miles a day of range?

    Chicken in solitary confinement

    I know more people that get tired of keeping chickens than people who want to keep them. IMO the advice to give her away is the best idea.

    I read the article and nearly puked...More "free money"!! And folks wonder why there are negative feelings for EV companies and buyers. Our tax dollars wasted on the few.

    IIRC you bought a deeply discounted EV from a company that may go "**** up". You are a braver man than I. I will not buy a Tesla because the closest "dealer" is 200 miles away. I will not buy an "off brand" vehicle (EV or ICE) unless it is a "disposable". A $37k vehicle does not fit my...

    I believe I can purchase a decent ICE as a second car for under $25k. Bear in mind EVs are supposed to be have a lower cost than complicated ICE vehicles…or I have been lied to….again. Lol

    Gale, I will buy an EV when I know it makes sense for me. So I am here to learn. So far, there are less than dozen TBN members with EVs and they all like them. That is a good sign. With my situation, an EV as my primary vehicle is not practical. If a reputable company can come up with...

    That makes the stock price run up even dumber. Tesla announces at the investor call that they are making an announcement in August? So what is left to announce? Another timeline that will be missed and need another announcement? Marketing BS to keep stock price from tanking. If you...

    Good to see an honest report not coming from an "influencer". Bottom line for you is it is very good but not perfect and not worth $99/mo. IMO, the price will only come down. At $200/mo some folks wanted it, and at $100/mo it will get more users. Just curious what your price point would...

    Tire liquid for weight

    I put WW fluid in my first tractor. I was cheap and knew I would be trading up. Had it for a couple of more years after filling so cannot comment on rust. The current tractor has RimGuard. If you intend to keep your tractor for more than 10 years, RimGuard is the safe bet. But without...

    What to Look for in Zero Turn Mower

    My experience was different. I had a 48" Husqvarna rider and went to a 54" Bad Boy. Mowing time cut in half. I have 2 acres, with a pond, patio, fence line, and 24 trees. The ZT will tear up grass if not operated well. To the OP, when I was shopping, I found a significant jump in...
