    Do I keep a gun in my "Get Home" bag?

    I had a long discussion with my State Representative (Democrat) about the last AWB, asking why Democrats always waste their time introducing bills that are unconstitutional, wasting everyone's time and money, just to have it eventually overturned by the courts. She actually agreed with me, and...

    What cars you fools have?

    One of my more recent acquisitions. 1998 Toyota HZJ105L. 1 of about 5 that I'm aware of in the USA. Initially these were only offered to Government, Military, United Nations, NGO's, etc. ...never to the public, until a few years later they started offering them to dealers in Australia...

    Chainsaw decision help...

    If you like your 260, get yourself a MS261 Pro (Non-c/m). I bought one a couple years ago, and it works fantastic. I bought it to replace an aging 026-AVS, and I use it more than just for deliming. If you want more power, and/or bar,, get a MS362 (non-c/m). Or an older MS440 Magnum, which...

    Inflation.......... ?

    Lots of factors causing the high home prices... shortage of available homes in general, more local government bureaucracy (adds costs, including more stringent building codes) in building a home, higher price of materials, higher price of land, higher labor costs, etc. etc. I sold my almost...

    Maggie’s The Woodchuck and Firewood Hoarders Thread

    The cresol built up inside the cap was like spray in bed liner, and tough to remove, lucky there wasn't much to speak of in the pipe. Screen now removed. Rope is staying put, I've got an antenna I need to put up this Summer so I can reliably hit repeaters, as the metal roof prevents me from...

    Maggie’s The Woodchuck and Firewood Hoarders Thread

    Had to climb up on my roof this morning. Last couple nights, the house was filling up with smoke every time I opened the door to the stove to load more wood into it, just enough to give me a sore throat and make the house smell like a camp fire. Found the spark arrestor in the chimney cap...

    Update, I was gone four days, three nights over Christmas. I was fully expecting to return to a house that was freezing. When I got back, it was still at 40-degs inside, and my neighbors said we had no sun over those days, snowing lightly, and temps in the single digits at night.

    Yes, stove is a Quadrafire Discovery III, probably one of their biggest. Went with 8" over 6" because I'm at 8700-ft elevation, and previous stove was similar size (model 4300), and the guy I bought that stove through, has a degree in Thermal Dynamics, so he knows his stuff, and suggested the...

    This was the first year in my life unfortunately that I had to hire someone to cut firewood for me. Just didn't have the time as I was hustling to get my new home dried in and enclosed for Winter. I did however, get my new stove in, and it's heating the house nicely. Not even fully insulated...

    Toyota Land Cruiser

    Don't get a Lexus, they add stuff that typically becomes a reliability issue. Just look at the used car prices, there's a reason the LC's hold their value, and the older Lexus don't. Yes, there's a lot of commonality between the two, but the things like AHC, upgraded climate control, etc. and...
