    Where to get wagon wheels?

    I have wagons with 10" innertube wheels. They keep loosing air after only 6 months. I tried different stores- harbor, northern toll, tractor supply, and flat tire sealer with little luck. I have checked and found nothing to puncture the innertube with no luck. As many wheels as I have solid...

    It had arms that swung out. For the huge campus lawn I guess... I wish I bid\won on the Cushman utility cart($20)... It would have been cool to drive around with the nephews in the neighborhood I live at- like all the other kids on golf carts.

    That reminds me of the 300gallon sprayer(with briggs) trailer that I won at the company auction when they were closing the campus.... I paid $10 for it... If I kept it, I could spray my 1.75 acre yard in 2.5 passes. HAH!!!

    US Steel Sold

    Not really... If they want to stop the sale, there are many ways to prevent it. From "flip-in" to "flip-over" to c-share stock owners can have a large enough share, etc to name a few.

    How to move plants to new house

    How to move plants to new house

    My brother bought aquarium plants. They just put it in a sealed plastic bag with some water in it. I think that is good for a few days of the move.

    True. Just look at a plastic gas can when temp drops 20deg or rises 20 deg. The gas can shrinks or bulges- that would vent or draw in air if it wasn't air tight.
