    my EV crystal ball was right, again

    EVs aren't for me. It doesn't bother me that others use them. Just don't force it on me. And, don't make me pay for yours. I do think EVs are a fad. They will be replaced by technology that works for the consumer and for the environmental goals. For me, today, they are just a different CFL...

    Electric vehicles will be cheaper to produce than gas cars by 2027: report

    Those of you who like EVs, enjoy. I will never own one. I also do not wish to subsidize yours.

    Thanks all for the kind words. Leo felt bad for me. He always cheers me up! LOL--he actually climbed on and became a 100lb lap dog. :sneaky:

    Awesome dogs / Crazy pets Thread

    What a week. It began with a kid going too fast down our street, losing control, taking out a corner of our fence before slamming a tree. They were ok but the new to him truck was totaled. Then we lost internet. Fought with ATT for a week. While I was at the neighbors to call ATT (no cell...

    The dog rolled the rtv x1160. Really the dog jumped in and trounced on the accelerator, up a tree and on its side it went.

    I haven't had any problems with Leo and the RTV because we prepared! Here he is waiting for his driving lesson. 🤭

    What are we (OK, some of us) becoming????

    They delivered today-9 names drom wh3n I ordered.. I was at 4% I had turned the furnaces off since it was a balmy day-in the 40s. I wanted to save the fumes for tonight. Whew. Drivers told me that they were 300 delveries behind. The office whined about the volume of calls due to the storm...

    I had pellets when I lived in MA. Loved them. I would buy what I needed in the summner. I never ran out. The house was toasty warm all the time. Oil was my backup. I intend to do the same here with wood pellets as a primary and propane as the backup. I have had nothing but negative experiences...

    What are we (OK, some of us) becoming????

    Eight degrees this morning. I am adding long pants and a sweatshirt to the overcoat and hat to go feed. In a bit of a worry mode waiting for the propane delivery today. I hope it doesn't get pushed back again. We are below 10% if the gauge is reading corrently. Using propane for heating is...

    It was 15 degrees in central Alabama this morning. The governor declared a state of emergency yesterday ahead of the blizzard (0-4in of snow across the state.). I rolled out my snowblower and pointed it north to ward off the snow gods. It worked. We only got a dusting of ice here. 🤣 I'll admit...

    GR2707 snowblower

    I am sorry but I don't have specs. Here is what it looks like: And the switch I put in the dash (above the light switch): I had most of the parts laying around in the garage. I guess I took after dad--never throw anything away--might need it some day... :D I did buy the mount support plate...

    What to make out of the corrosion showing at around valve stem?

    Geez, from the title, I thought valve stem as in cylinder head…. 🤦‍♂️ I think that I am spending too much time in the innards of my motorized toys.
