That's messed up. How can they continue building the engine, if they can't even get all the parts for it? I supposed they just get the manufacturers of the model this goes on to install a different engine? I supposed, it doesn't matter to the customer. I've never seen one who loyal to any...

When I worked a machine shops, when you do 200 or 300 parts per day, it's hard to look at every one of them.

Agreed. And one thing that also irks me is the way the right is treating migrants like they were 1935 German jews.

That's one thing about this border issue that seems to get's overlook, the potus has the authority to secure the border. The right blames Biden for not using his authority to do it. But never address why Trump didn't when he was there. If it was as easy as exercising some presidential...

I belong to a few other forums, that have a political section. After bissecting the lies from both sides and coming up with what can only be the truth, One side calls me a Biden supporter. And the other side swears I'm a Trump supporter. And I swear, I don't like either one of them. This...

It's always irked me that one side is half honest, the other side is half honest, and most of us have to sift through the lies to get the truth. Especially when the truth is something that both sides would agree or disagree on, together.

I replaced mine with an aftermarket one. And it wasn't cheap either. But not near as expensive as the JD brand.

That word "set" is how I remember they can't be used again.

When I tried plastic welding a john Deere hood, where I welded it, it didn't do too bad. But this thing was so brittle, that other parts started breaking like my dodge dash.

I believe this, or something like it, is the emblem on thermoplastics. Especially the arrows in a triangular shape.

If I was living poor in Mexico or South America, or anywhere really, I'd do what I had to do to come to the US. Even if coming illegally was my only option. Applying for a visa in Mexico costs about $500. If you don't have a credit record or own property, regardless of how decent you are...

They'd get replaced. Being a politician is still a good paying gig. Even without all the lobbyist money. We have a good system. We just have a pack of liars in office who don't care about the people once they're elected.

They've been cutting it down since Texas started putting it up. I'm siding with Abbott on this issue. It's gotten way out of hand. But the US government supersedes the states border policies. Apparently Two of the conservative judges, including one Trump judge thinks so. And considering...

I'm not so sure about that. Because the vast oceans that make up 75% of the earths surface, produces no heat. Then you have winters on both sides of the globe that cools things off. It's going to take a hundreds of thousands of years to see any major man made affects to our climate. The EPA...

Carroll is a gold digger. Trump's a liar and an ego maniac. She lies, he lies and we decide which lie they're going to believe, based on lies we're told by them both and the MSM. Believe you me, the US has a TON of gold diggers in this country. If a man has any big money at all, he's playing...

I knew that the smaller the micron, the better. I just didn't know certain details. Like the difference between the white Briggs screen filters and the red. And that a grain of sand is about 100 microns. As far as those cheapo filters that come with an scamzon carb, those usually go...

I'm down to just a few loyal customers who don't complain.. 😁😁😁 But I love not having to get up and down. My back is grateful. Being eye level with a push mower carb, without having to lift it and lowering it using the back is a game changer.

I had no idea there was a difference.

I'm good with gas/oil. And pretty much any other source. I understand the need to move away from oil for a lot of things. Like EV's for those who use it as it's supposed to be used. Daily commute's within the distance perimeters. Having solar panels to charge batteries at home to power...

Obviously, Biden was lying. My point was that so many on the left and right believed him. But that's the USA for you. Trump has lied more than any president I've seen in my entire life. And he's got folks who believe everything he says. They claim he was sent here by god himself to lead...

I'm fixing to make a square frame that I can hook to the winch I have mounted on a big beam. I normally use it to lift riders. But with the frame, I'll be able to raise up push mowers. Since it's on the edge of the work shop, the handle will stick outside the shop so I can raise it up about...

What about him? He's a lying politician, like 99% of the others. "I'm going to end fossil fuels in the USA." One of the biggest lies I've ever heard. But for some reason, so many people on both sides believed him.

I'm wondering if this technology is what they're using to charge phones, without actually connecting them. Wireless chargers.

SI do make a lot of sense. And they kill two birds with one stone. One of the reasons why there's so few desalinization plants along our coast is the brine that released back into the oceans. Where it's piped back into the oceans, makes it too salty for marine life. This brine can be used in...

This week would be a good week to clean the shop (and house) and get some organizing done.

You may have seen me post a couple of video's about the sodium ion batteries that are on the rise. Do you have any comment about those? I think they're promising. According to what I've heard, they last longer, do better in cold weather and not apt to catch on fire like Lithium. The...

Her normal food arrived today. (Lucky her). So out of curiosity, I gave her 1/2 can of it, and she ate 99% of it. The best part of all this is she stopped "judging me." :rolleyes:

And it goes for anything and everything else they want to pay for. But that's kind of the point. States and the federal government tax everything under the sun. And now with solar panels connected to the grid, they're sort of taxing the sun too. None the less, they're taxing way too much for...

At the same time, oil/gas companies are getting government subsidies in the billions, every year. GM and others have gotten huge bailouts. This is why I support constitutional and fiscal conservatives (Chip Roy, Thomas Massie, etc etc) and not democrats or the RINO's. "Republicrats" give...

I finally gave in and went to the dollar store to get her a few cans of her normal stuff. And of course they don't have her normal food. So like an idiot, I got a few cans of of something made by the same company (Purina). That was a no go too. So, I'm thinking that she's not going to get...

They pretty much do, since electricity is taxed.

Not many could afford gas powered cars when they first came out. Heck, before that, a lot of folks couldn't afford horses. There's car companies who are trying to find ways of bringing the costs down. But with the way the economy is, and this enormous labor costs, it's going to be a while...

You did.

That's the thing though. EV's aren't really being forced on anyone. And for 99.9999% of the country, we weren't forced to take the Trump shot. Biden isn't at war with the oil companies. And now that inflation is coming down, the higher prices we're paying we're paying isn't all from inflation...

This weeks forecast. I'll take it.

You ain't kidding about the FedEx thing. I bought the cat a different type of can food (meow mix). It arrived a few days before the bad weather. After about 3 cans of it, I realized she simply wouldn't eat it. So I ordered her normal food. It went from Iowa to Waterloo MS, in one day. And...

Personally, I don't get all the objections to EV's. I like new technology. With new technology, comes new technology to make it great.

I look at it as just another way to collect revenue. They have been doing without that tax since Arkansas was established. They could do without it from now on.

Arkansas is about to implement some stupid tax (again) that's going to bump up the cost of EV charging.

Since I'm almost out of wood (saving some for a power outage), I found that the central heat doesn't warm up my bones like that fireplace does. I've got the thermostat on 71, and still walking around with chill bumps.

Yes, we got rain on the way, with low temps in the 40's. One day it's supposed reach 60. I might break out my shorts and stand in front of the sunny window. :D

I wonder if that Nissan has a battery warmer on it?

They should probably advertise more effectively. From what I'm hearing there's a big demand for good used EV batteries. If that's not the case, then maybe EV batteries aren't as bad as they make them out to be. Thomas Massie, a congressman from Kentucky, has been using the same Tesla battery...

Tesla's have a battery warmer built into the charging circuit. But you have to set the car to heat up the batteries. It's not automatic. The news broadcasts and social media post about all these "dead robots" are from people who never read their EV's manual.

I'm just shocked that there was that much electricity in the air. Walk under powerlines and you don't feel a thing.

Fences sucking power from under HV transmission lines

We got that 9 degree temp last night. 26 for the low tonight. And have a chance of some sleet in the morning. I'm down to my last 1/2 rick of wood. It's gone quick. Hoping we don't have any power outages this year.

Everything is thawing out here in Arkansas. My cold water line froze up a little this morning. And I burned through a ton of wood. But no power outages happened. So it's all good now. How did y'all come out?
