YKYO when you get this.

Oh geez... with that sort of shade, you're probably fine! It's really cool you built that. Bus stop shelters like that used to be common around here when I was a kid, but much less so now, it seems everyone drives their kids to the bus stop now. It's nice to think that shelter you built may...

Since it came out so beautifully, I'm sure you want it to last a long time! A lot of epoxies, even those made for boat building, are not very UV stable and must be coated in something to protect from UV. Even those labeled "UV stable" usually hold up better if coated, versus not. Might be...

The SRT cars have three traction control modes, and a big button on the dash which enables you to access and change them very quickly (< 1 second). Modes are "Street", "Sport", "Track". Street mode allows pretty minimal wheel spin, and track mode seems to be a full-disable, with sport mode...

In some cases, it may have been true. Some early ABS implementations had only one or two solenoids, cycling pressure either to the entire system, or to both fronts or both rears at the same time. That was less than ideal, although probably still better and faster than most trying for manual...

Non-profit entities may have different end goals.

Not if you run mud tires. :cool: My current tires are only BFG T/A KO2's, not exactly Ground Hawg's, but the lugs are still big enough to catch the edge of a boot sole and step up from a much more comfortable height.

I wouldn't worry at all about raising the height of the seat having any appreciable impact on center of gravity. It's a 4000 lb. tractor, easily over 5500 lb. with loader and ballast. Moving your 200 lb. rear a few inches higher is not going to have enormous effect. As to ROPS, I rarely use...

Same. Been doing that probably since I turned 40. My rear bumper height is nearly the same as the tire, but the tire is more accessible than the bumper, when the tailgate is down. I'm still young enough that I'll make fun of anyone who uses a tailgate step (@Jstpssng). But I know the reality...

I've worked for two different privately-owned businesses which had grown so large and successful that the founder of each began to think they could do no wrong... and then they did. I see Elon making the same mistakes, most notably at getting involved in politics and leading the DOGE under an...

Looks great. West System epoxy? Think the mix ratio was off, or just not mixed thoroughly? Odd for it to not cure after a few hours, especially at 1/8" thickness (thicker cures faster).

Bill Cosby Himself, he mentions his "$17,000 Ferrari". That will always stick with me... It's almost always shocking to look back, and realize how quickly standards in cost and salary have changed.

What's the item in the bottom of the glass? Looks like mouse poop. :p

That's pretty cool! And also a little depressing. :ROFLMAO: Those were my college and early working years. My daughter likes to really drive the nail home by calling my childhood "the olden days." I don't think she distinguishes between my youth in the 1970's - 1990's, from my parents in...
