    Not much really. I was responding to the post(s) about EVs. 🤡

    Went electric

    If you were in your EV and the battery craps out and the next charging station is 50,100,150 miles away, what would you do?

    Went electric

    I doubt that what you claim is true, but, that wasn't the point. What I got from your earlier post was that coal fired electric plants are non-existent. Also, if EV's are so great, why do they have to be forced upon us? If wind and solar are so great, why does it have to be forced upon us...and...

    Went electric

    I think that the cordless weed whacker would work great for me just doing the yards. Light, quiet, etc. But, like i pointed out the cost....after I spent, correction, it was $400 for the Stihl 2 stroke whacker. I also purchased a cutting blade with it as I had a bunch of kosia weed, 3-4 feet...

    I know, right? It just comes right outta the wall. That's how it is my house anyway. 🤡

    Went electric

    I looked at the DeWalt stuff at my local D&B supply. 1 20v 10ah battery was $259, a pack of 2 was $369.

    Wife and I were hiking in Zion Park on Saturday. She fell and hit her head on a rock. Slight concussion, 7 stitches and a whole bunch of hurt, but no broken bones. From the incident to her being loaded into the ambulance was 4 hours.

    Went electric

    My neighbor a couple of weeks ago was talking up the DeWalt battery weed whacker. I looked at the new ones, 20v, $130...not bad. Then I see the 20v, 10ah batteries, $360 for 2 and another 100 or so for a charger.... That's a tough pill to swallow especially after I spent $370 for a Stihl 2...

    Looking to trade in the 2006 mustang GT 4.6 for a 2017 50

    See posts #7 and #8 above. My brother lives around Seguin, I think, which isn't far from Austin. . I know we went out to the place he was buying and I liked the area. Very rural, farms, agriculture, etc. I do remember that the people are friendly around there.

    Looking to trade in the 2006 mustang GT 4.6 for a 2017 50

    I've been to TX 5 times. I did 4 jobs in TX in 2012/13. Lubbock, San Antone, Frisco and Houston. We didn't have much time for goofing off tho. 2 years ago we visited my brother who lives in the SA area. We spent 5/6 days out there and to be honest, I don't really dig it. The traffic is horrible...

    Looking to trade in the 2006 mustang GT 4.6 for a 2017 50

    I rented a pressure washer yesterday and cleaned up the Windsor. I did under the hood too. I’m getting close to putting the motor back in. Taking the headers to work for some bead blasting. I got some white header paint so I’ll get those painted up.

    OK I’ve had enough.

    Any of you guys ever use this stuff? I use it to shine up dirt bikes, but it works on other stuff too. Spray it on and wipe it off. It goes by other names I think. At $14 at the motorcycle shop, you can probably get it cheaper somewhere else, under a different name.

    E-tec 40 hp

    Hey all. Been a while.... So I got a question on my 40 E-tec. A couple weeks ago I was under the dash working on some wiring and I noticed that under there was a sticker that said "start hour meter at 142 hrs" So I called the guy that I got the boat from and he confirmed with his dad that yes...

    OK I’ve had enough.

    We had a snowmobile trip canceled last weekend for yesterday, that we scheduled like a month ago, due to the snow melting. And, we had the largest cumulative snow in the 4 winters that I’ve been here. I cobbled together this for keeping rain, snow out of the boat for those times when I have...

    Looking to trade in the 2006 mustang GT 4.6 for a 2017 50

    I'm familiar with the Bay area. Worked down there a lot. I'm originally from Chico but I lived in Sutter Co. from 95 to 2020. TX was on our list of states to move to. We though about NV, AZ, NM, TX, OR, but for some reason ID wasn't on our list. Our daughter and B/F made a trip to ID in '19 and...

    Looking to trade in the 2006 mustang GT 4.6 for a 2017 50

    This first pic is when we were bringing it home from Salt Lake City, memorial day weekend of 2016. My dad owned this car for 25/30 years. He put a 289 in it at one point, wore it out, and then put the 351 in it in 2008. From 08 to 2016 he put 4,000 miles on it. It sat in storage mostly. He had a...

    Looking to trade in the 2006 mustang GT 4.6 for a 2017 50

    A supercharger on that 4.6 would be wild!!! I'm in Idaho. That pic was from 2016 when I was still in N.CA. It was due for a smog check in 2020 and in CA it cost me $150 every time I had it smogged. Since I knew we were moving and it had a bad rear main leaking I just never renewed it. So, I...
