    Blackout?

    The smallest diesel generator that Generac makes is 15KW and at 1/2 load uses .8Gal/hr.

    Blackout?

    For someone living inside city limits, it's likely not legal to have a bulk tank of diesel or gasoline on your property, so, diesel isn't really an option, nor is gas because you can't store enough of either to make it very long in a blackout. You see and hear those big generators running...

    Blackout?

    Assuming we're talking about a whole-home standby type generator. Fuel stability should be your biggest concern which means for most people, Nat'l gas or Propane is their best option. In most cities, nat'l gas will be your only stable option as big propane tanks aren't allowed. In a smaller...

    Getting a little close..

    Wolves don't give me much pause regarding my own safety. Grizz on the other hand...... Imagine one of those buggers (grizz) coming out of cattails or a buffalo-berry bush when you're bird hunting. That could get hairy in a hurry. I once decided to leave a patch a cattails when a smaller bull...

    Trump's biggest hurdle in his 1st 2 yrs w/Rep controlled congress (both houses) was that 'Sconi Speaker of the House Paul Ryan.

    U.A.W strike?

    Pretty sure the Saturn Vue was a clone of the Chevy Equinox. I had one of each as employer provided fleet vehicles.

    Rem. 870 Express - Super Mag

    Open the action. Use a finger to manipulate the extractor back and forth to feel if its "gritty". If it is, at least flush it with brake/carb cleaner. Better would be to remove it, clean everything with q-tips and pipe-cleaners then re-assemble.

    Humminbird 899 Question

    I've got one that does that occasionally when I start the main motor. I guess I just figured there's a bit of corrosion somewhere I haven't tracked down yet.

    3.0L Duramax Turbo Diesel

    The above is correct. If its cold (0F or below) or is forecast to be soon, I just go straight to #1 with an additive to gain back some lubricity for the pump. I'll give up some power and mileage w/#1 for the security of reliability. I'm over 220K Mi on mine and it doesn't even hiccup @ the...

    Rem. 870 Express - Super Mag

    Did the JB stay in place or did it eject w/the shells? I didn’t expect that to stay in place when you added significant heat and 10-15K PSI.

    Lightest rifle

    I believe ULA sn’s were sequential. Post-Colt NULA has the yr a dash then the number of the gun being built for that yr. So, the 100th gun built in 2022 would be 22-100. Iirc you could also choose a specialty SN if you wishes as well.

    Lightest rifle

    270Win would be a 24. The 24 is for “standard” or non-Magnum long action cartridges. 270/30-06 etc. 20 is the short action .473” bolt-face, 22-250/Creed/308/284 families, and 20S is the short action for .378” bolt face (223 family). 28’s are 3.34” mag-box belted mags (7 mag, 300Win, etc)...

    OnX on vehicle navigation syst

    I run it though CarPlay and it works quite well. On mine at least if you want landowner contact info I have to go to my phone for that. I haven't tried to mark a spot on the screen yet either, again, just go to the phone for that. It’s very nice to have a bigger screen than a phone though.

    Lightest rifle

    What scope is mounted on it? Last NULA 22” #1 taper 270Win W/14Oz scope mounted I had in my scale was about 1Oz heavier than my Kimber Montana 7-08.

    Lightest rifle

    Sub 5# without scope, not with. Not even with a Leupold Ultralight 2-7 or fixed 4x will that come in under 5#. They're fantastic rifles, honestly probably won't ever be equalled in a package that an "average income" person can save for and afford. Of the 3 Non-Melvin "copies/iterations" that...

    Someone needs to thread your fingers and install silencers so you can't type any more mean stuff you meanie.

    Rem. 870 Express - Super Mag

    If the extractor spring gets gritty/dirty it'll jam up the works. Grit in the spring sort of "pins" the hull up against the far chamber wall and wedges things shut. I've "fixed" several 870's with a can of brake or carb cleaner, the little red straw to concentrate the spray, manipulating the...

    Lightest rifle

    Kimber Montana 7-08Rem w/6x42 Leupold M-1 ele turret in low talley lightweights is 6.06#. The rifle is exactly as it came from the factory except that I lightened the trigger down to about 2.5#. W/120TSX @ 3050fps I'm confident on 10" steel plates to 750. My furthest shot on a critter w/said...
